Not everyone is "freaked the fuck out" due to what Trump says or does. Unlike many folks, I never placed faith or trust in government to handle any crisis of magnitude. I worry about what I can control: my own actions and how that will affect my family who lives with me. I'm not looking for a savior in Daddy Government.
I'm worried because most people are irrational and highly emotional, not logical. They make decisions against their best interests all the time. In a pandemic, that forces me to be overly cautious, despite that not necessarily being my normal disposition. The irrational risks are, in some sense, greater than the rational risks.
