Yeah, our media has been having a field day trying to misinterpret and make the President look bad. I expect any human to eventually break down when faced with that kind of scrutiny and pressure 8 hours a day for weeks on end.
But the media isn't trying to scare us away from big government. Are you kidding? They're for big government. Government that will take care of everyone.

That reply was 90% political opinion. Wrong forum for that. Keep it neutral or don't say it at all.
SerieZ:
The Politicization of this Catastrophe here in Switzerland was not as bad as in the US, especially in the start it seemed to be a mutual effort between all parties involved and no real finger pointing.
Only in the recent few weeks as the Issue got better it has started to evolve into a fight as to how to proceed and go back to normal.
I am surprised how smooth things went on the Official level here TBH,... Legacy Media however did not disappoint to disappoint (especially the typical tabloids) thus I only took Official Information somewhat serious anyways.
Personally this Information only took me to be a bit more careful with hygiene and sorroundings, everything else was the same and can't see the harm in that.
That said and looking at US Media what I do find appalling is the absolute lack of empathy now towards young and middle aged people who just had their existences destroyed or future massively hampered. Sure we have to protect the elderly and find solutions, but the portrayal of those wanting to go back to work as dumb rednecks to be put on pillory as I've observed Media/Social Media leaves me without words.
I am afraid to look at the statistics of suicide next few months but I guess who gives a shit about young peoples families as long as you can smear the opposition. :rant:

Unless I'm 'Dumb'.... (There's a fish-line & hook for some people! hahaha!!)...
UNTIL there is a 'Vaccine', how can we relax rules, and start going "back to normal" ??
OK, we are reducing the possibilities of transmission, due to the actions we(most!) are taking, but beyond that,
what am I missing about 'relaxations' eventually leading to a major 2nd wave, or 3rd!! due to complacency! ??
As an example, just the other day, some, (don't know who, or in what area) Church in Germany decided to re-
open their doors to the masses, and now 40 of them are infected!! What is it they don't understand???
The often quoted, "for the duration", must/should mean "when there's a vaccine"

It was a Baptist church, not far from here. They claim to have held safe distance, but didn't wear face masks and were singing a lot. Meanwhile over 100 people were tested positive.
