I got a post card from the CDC titled, "President Trump's coronavirus guidelines for America"
WTF, these aren't "trump's guidelines", these are the CDCs, what Dr. Fauci had been outlining to people for the last couple of weeks:
From the LA Times on this:
Has Trump even read his own 'Coronavirus Guidelines for America?
…….
"What's remarkable about the advisory, of course, is that contradicts what appears to be the developing Trump administration policy aimed at cutting the nation's social distancing practices by Easter, or April 12. The card makes no mention of any
such deadline posited by Trump, who seems intent more on saving the stock market than saving the millions of Amerians whose
health might be jeopardized by a premature relaxing of social distancing and self-quarantining practices.
Nor does it suggest, as have some conservatives with Trump's ear, that younger people, ostensibly less vulnerable to the
virus than their elders, can start going out and about
Indeed, the card carries a special bold-face, upercase warning: "Even if you are young, or otherwise healthy, you
are at risk and your activities can increase the risk for others. It is critical that you do your part to slow the
spread of the coronavirus."
Nor does the card make any mention of the therapeutic nostrums that Trump has promoted in his public briefings, such as
chloroquine, an anti-malarial preparation that hasn't been established as a coronavirus treatment.
Trump's exaggerated claims for this treatment evidently prompted an Arizona husband and wife to ingest a related
preparation for aquarium fish, with the result that the husband died and the wife landed on the critical list.
It's perfectly appropriate for the government to issue sound advisories like those on this card, which bears the logos
of the White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The problem is that the mailing underscores
the reckless inconsistency of the administration's approach to the coronavirus pandemic.
The postcard is dated March 16, just over a week ago. I'ts a digest of advisories appearing on the CDC and White House
websites. But there's no reason to suppose that is advice is outdated today -- if anything, it's more urgent.
Epidemiology experts stress that one of the imperatives in addressing a public health crisis like this one is that
its message be forthright and consistent. The Trump administration's is anything but.
..........
The document also mentions the need to debunk "exaggerated product claims," though it anticipated that these claims would come via the internet, NOT OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
It shoujld be clear by now that the Trump administration's response has violated every one of these rules --
not merely day-to-day, but sometimes within the same briefing, as when Trump's scientific advisors from the CDC or the food and Drug Administration have to step to the microphone to contradict some ignorant claim Trump has made.
This is no way to run a pandemic response. The postcard arriving in your mailbox today or over the next few days offers the right advice. You should heed it. As for the daily ruminations heard from President trump, you should ignore them. That
is a sad commentary on the condition of the federal government"

It should be obvious that trump WANTS to create chaos. That has been the trademark of his entire administration
Something sinister is definitely going on
