Panic has a way of manifesting itself on its on without anyone's help.

Thanks for sharing this, I suspected that doom and gloom shows like this would be pushing this agenda down our throats. Panic is not the way to react, and if anything, as we all know on DU, it's sometimes the worst reaction possible. But in a sad way, the good news out of this mess is that rump has lost control. Full and total control of the news cycle. There was tons of speculation on DU in the past that with a serious event (like coronavirus), rump would fail miserably.

Are they not the ones watching such ridiculous shows? How does Trump think his terrified followers are going to feel about him once they starting getting the virus, or at least the fear of getting the virus takes center stage.

Fear is a powerful motivator, and Trump's creating fear of himself every minute that passes. Pence in charge? That's just so he can blame Pence when it all goes south.

You will need Jim Bakker survival swill. It's adaptable to any apocalyptic crisis that comes along. Seems there's a new end of the world coming every couple of weeks! Hurricanes, floods, fires, the grid going down, now a pandemic! Jim's got a bucket of slop for every end times need!

CSPI Urges FDA Enforcement Action on Televangelist Jim Bakker’s Fake Coronavirus “Cure”

Televangelist Jim Bakker is using his show to advance the claim that the Silver Solution dietary supplement products available in his online store can now cure the coronavirus “within 12 hours.” The preacher previously claimed the same product cures “all venereal diseases” and HIV. The nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest today called on the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission to take immediate enforcement action against the marketing of the products.
