Fear and misinformation. Fearmongering and spreading of conspiracy theories coming from "FOX and "friends". Fake News, don't watch.
This isn't about Trump. This is about America's ability to fight a dangerous virus and come out of it winningly. Many people are suffering financially and as businesses. False information is not welcome. My own family could be facing a layoff situation. I went to the store last night. Needed toilet paper and there wasn't any. Canned food and water are nearly gone too. Regardless of FOX news opinions we have a serious problem that requires strength and sincere effort to bring calm to people who want to buy boxes of toilet paper. Not conspiracy theorists.
