EDIT: THIS PICTURE IS FROM JANUARY 2, 2020, Long before social distancing went into effect, or was even conceivable here in the US. It was photoshopped to make it appear as though the (democratic) Governor was disobeying her own order. Hmmm... wonder who could have been behind it. Anyway it circulated widely before being debunked.
What is wrong with this picture?

Who is mentally unstable? LOL
Rob Reiner Calls President Trump ‘Mentally Unstable’ - Claims His Lies Are Killing People
Rob Reiner just had yet another meltdown against Donald Trump, this time accusing the president of being "mentally unstable" and of killing people.thepoliticalinsider.com
TBH as a non US citizen I have no axe to grind with your politics. However, there's little doubt in the beginning Trumps policies were killing people. Like the UK he ignored it and refused to lock down. Even now when locked down the last I heard, and this may have changed, was that he was saying saving people's lives was a cure worse than the disease if it destroyed business. What I see as an outsider is a man obsessed with money, like many super rich, and who's prepared to let tens of thousands die if it keeps his dollars coming in. America always was going to be a difficult country to contain it in though. You have porous borders with Mexico and Canada. The UK on the other hand had little excuse.

LOL, another fan of fake new.
For a guy who is "obsessed with money" it sure is strange that he donates his salary to charity and he took a heck of a financial loss by leaving business to drain the swamp.

My county...assume your county is the same. Was there any doubt this would happen?

Some Seminole County COVID-19 patients are still going out in public
Despite being diagnosed with COVID-19, a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by coronavirus, some patients in Seminole County are refusing to follow the self-quarantine standards and going out in public, potentially putting others at risk.

My girlfriend was running errands for others to obtain essential items and didn't have time to eat. At one point she was so hungry she gave in to it and pulled into an Arby's drive through. Placed an order and paid via CC through a touchless system. She pulls up to the window and observes half a dozen employees running around inside and is horrified no one is wearing a mask. She rightfully assumes someone may be asymptomatic and tells them to cancel the order and provide a refund. They want to refund her with Covid-cash but has to talk to the manager to get refund on CC. Manager says "I don't know what the big deal is, we wash our hands every 15 minutes." She didn't bother to ask if they wash their hands for 20 seconds in warm water or if the manager knew that Covid-19 can be transmitted via aerialized particles from talking or exhaling.

That's just nasty. I almost puked my breakfast thinking about it. I admit I sometimes eat Arby's food, a few times per year. Harkens back to childhood or something. But my fast food days are on hold except for Jimmy Johns (the store I go to is doing things very well with respect to food safety). Good on your girlfriend for making good decisions even while hungry.
When social distancing is all set and done, the next action will be economic distancing. Shenzo Abe (Japan PM) is giving a huge incentive to companies moving out of China. Other countries will follow soon all in the interest of independence, self-sufficiency, and economic growth, and prosperity. Enough said.
This is getting widespread
Sky News Australia, WION News, and Donald Trump are all over this. Where is the US Media response?

You should not just follow the fake news. Better to go to the source and develop your own correct insight. What he said was “That the cure could be worse than the disease”. It is an old phrase often used, you can Google it. Trump is not one to gloss over the truth. He was talking about shutting down the economy and its outcome. As of now there are now 16,800,000 people that have filed for unemployment in the USA . And that number will surely rise. America has an estimated 30,000,000 illegal alien population, many of which work under-the-table not paying taxes, so they cannot apply for unemployment. They will suffer too. He could see the economic hardship coming. I am glad we have a President that is willing to say what he said. He was willing to point out that Shutting Down The Economy could cause even more death and suffering than the virus itself. I for one think that the economic side of this Will cause suffering and death of a far greater magnitude, to the living, not just in the USA but worldwide. Probably even more so in underdeveloped countries.
You can Google the suffering the recent Great Recession caused in the USA. People turned to drinking and drugs, committed suicide, living on the street, losing their houses, losing their retirement funds, divorce and split families, stress and anxiety that contributed to murders, stressed induced domestic violence and child abuse, stress induced health issues that led to premature death, to name a few.
Getting our economy going will benefit not only us but the whole world.
Not all countries will entertain this idea, but it's an encouraging idea for those countries with a significant number of cases. The United Kingdom should be using their CCTV Surveillance camera for tracking citizens at this time. In South Korea, their model is that Public Health takes precedence over privacy. Hard to replicate this type of testing in countries with higher populations.

Initially he did not include the UK and Ireland yes. They are islands, and they showed only very small amount of infections at the time compared to Italy. But less than 24hrs after imposing the travel ban on the places in Europe where the virus has a large foothold starting up he included both UK and Ireland. Less than 24hrs. Did the fake news where you like to tune in mention this? I doubt it.

Lol, I'm in Nebraska; we're not locked down by any executive order, but we're pretty close to it. Expected to peak here in a couple of weeks.
