America Is Acting Like a Failed State
Many businesses, local governments, and individuals are doing what is necessary to beat back the coronavirus—with little help from the White House.
A global pandemic is a mandatory exam in national competence. It is a test for individuals, who have to change their life and withdraw from public events to slow the spread of a disease through crowds and social networks. It is a test for companies, which must change their protocols to protect their employees, sometimes by banishing them from the office. It is a test for institutions, which must decide whether to uphold traditions and festivals for the sake of public morale, or to cancel events, tournaments, conferences, and concerts.

It's not irresponsible, it's sensible.
First off, I'm not going to list links because it's not time productive for this particular issue. But trust me.
Talk radio recently listed a whole bunch of Left media Coronavirus disbelievers. Especially in Jan/Feb, NYT, WP and others were denying the threat and agitating against any type of quarantine. Like any Trump action, quarantines were racist.
I will now return you to the game of counting coup. Big Smile
