I know I haven't seen any from the government. Never thought of it but the government should be
running public service announcements for us people that can't stand to listen to Trump.

From Donald Trump saying all the things to do, wash hands, call doctor before going in, all the normal stuff, looks like it was made from CDC stuff. I tossed it.

about social distancing with Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx.

I also saw some local ads to stay home and be safe, not sure which local affiliate.

during the task force pressers. There have been as many as 15 standing behind Chump as he's bloviating. Social Distancing, indeed.

Here's today's with a smaller group:

It was just text w/facts & figures about who is most vulnerable and a link to the government website about the coronavirus. IMO it may be counterproductive because it could make people outside those groups feel less vulnerable and less likely to cooperate w/social distancing.

... not even close as often when I switch back to my local over-the-air (antenna) channels.

I don’t understand why it‘s different. People who can’t afford cable don’t deserve the warnings?

I only recently subscribed to Spectrum cable again. I dropped cable for awhile after Trump won the electoral college, angry at cable news broadcasts in particular for giving him constant attention.

I’ve not seen them on cable or local stations. Of course the local news covers it. I guess I was just expecting something like Smokey the bear or that dog to come out of retirement and warn the public 🙂

made by professional organizations, including the CDC. Most are well made and quite informative.

Go to YouTube's home page, several should be shown: https://www.youtube.com/

Have no idea how these are being pushed into social media, but many should be IMO......
