I stumbled on Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's Twitter feed the other day and she had asked people to start practicing social distancing. She got the standard insults, the "I will do what the hell I like" replies and quite a few accusations of being part of the conspiracy to bring down Trump.
Then Anthony Fauci, the man leading the science behind the WH response said the same thing. How that went down with people will be the real test.
The problem Trump has is that his natural tendency to try and deflect any and all criticism of himself meant he massively underplayed the extent of the scope of this virus and tried to make it a foreign assault in the US.
Now that he simply can't bluff or lie his way out of it he's in the unique position of being held accountable for something that he can't avoid or make go away.
Just watching his briefings and you can see he takes every opportunity to avoid scrutiny and get someone else in front of the mic. He is possibly the worst person in the world to lead a fight against an existential threat like this as he is just about as selfish as I can imagine anyone being.
