Just a thought. If Hillary was president, 'muricans could/would be running around like headless chooks rioting, looting, National guard everywhere enforcing curfew, militias deployed trying to maintain security, cities and towns blocked off etc.

Trump is playing down the pandemic; not because he doesn't believe it, but to maintain order and prevent a major social and economic meltdown that would no doubt cripple many countries for some time. Again, just a thought.
