President Trump gave a press conference that ended a few minutes ago. The topic was the corona virus and the US response. It was really worth watching. Here are the key takeaways:
1. So far there are only 15 cases of the virus in the USA and of those people, nearly all have recovered or are about to be fully recovered. The bulk of the cases mentioned in the media as "US cases" are actually American people who were on the Diamond Princess cruise ship off the Japanese coast who were eventually returned to the USA and are being held in quarantine.
2. There are some obviously knowledgeable and talented people who are heading the American response to the virus.
3. The President put VP Pence in charge of organizing further US response to the threat of the virus.
4. There are some simple measures that people can take to reduce the threat of the spread of the virus. These are the basic measures that one would use to combat the spread of the flu. Things like washing your hands, covering your coughs, and staying home if you feel sick are simple, but effective.
5. The President does not want to politicize the fight against the spread of the virus. He said that both Democrats and Republicans should be working together on this problem.
6. There is no need for panic.
Trump gets high marks for this press conference.
