    Trump, when asked about "downplaying the severity of the virus," said "you want calmness," and:

    Trump: "We're 85% better in terms of fatalities" "You look at the kind of numbers,
    I don't know if you've been seeing this," "We're really *rounding* the corner."

    Trump: "We're pretty close to a cure." "The Vaccine itself," "It could come Out In
    October."

    So the President is betting on life, and being an optimist. Yet 1,000's die.

    Sep 12, 2020 "Trump sits down with Judge Jeanine in exclusive interview" https://youtube-cutter.org/video/4F9mq7lPxz

    Worldometer: Fatalities:
    Sep 11th +1,094
    Sep 10th +1,089
    Sep 9th +1,208
    Sep 8th +496
    Sep 7th +286
    Sep 6th +430
    Sep 5th +707
    Sep 4th +1,033
    Sep 3th +1,114
    Sep 2nd +1,090

    Total 10 Days: 8,547

    Average 10 days: 854

    So that's 15% better in terms of fatalities - Thus, actually true if turned around
    - makes the 85% sound great! Seems the President wasn't lying.

    Guardian, 14 Sep 2020:"scientists are hoping to develop a coronavirus vaccine within 12 to 18 months."

    New York Times: "scientists are racing to produce a safe and effective coronavirus
    vaccine by next year. "

    Not sure where his "October" stuff comes from. Maybe he could clarify.

    Still Trump is wanting to not incite panic. Why?

    What's the problem with panic? Panicked people DON'T spread COVID!
    Calm people go out to eat dinner with their masks off, calmly, and *do* spread COVID, and die!

    Is Trump suppressing panic *for* the economy?!

    If the economy fails, will the pain and hardship be even worse for everybody?

    Do you think suppressing panic for the economy is a good idea?

    Employees and Consumers deserve honesty and protection.
