Do not be stampeded. Relatively speaking, there is a handful of truly evil people---

---which includes Trump---who are trying to use us to conceal their own failures in dealing with this pandemic. Trump is ultimately responsible for the deaths of----so far---tens of thousands of us: grandmas and papaws and moms and dads and husbands and wives and---. He and his cult are now desperate to avoid having to answer for their arrogance and incompetence.
They know we are afraid. Anyone who is not is an idiot. But, rather than serve as a model of courage and optimism, as have LEADERS of both parties in the past, Trump and his mindless disciples are trying to use our fear to create the level of chaos they need to confuse the facts and point fingers of blame at anyone but Dear Leader. Most of the Republican elected officials have careers or fortunes or both which totally depend on Trump and his people remaining in power. They will do ANYTHING they can to preserve him.
And, so, when Trump calls for "liberation" to "preserve our Second Amendment rights", his haters take to the streets---some armed to the teeth and carrying racist and anti-semitic signs---to demand that we resume business as usual and forget social distancing. We dare not think of this as anything but an outrageous call to join them in a deadly game of "viral roulette".
These "protesters" are a statistically insignificant minority who are getting way too much publicity. Ignore them. Ignore the Trumpian governors and mayors and sheriffs who open beaches and encourage "opening" and refuse to enforce "stay at home". Ignore everything Trump the Liar says.
Do not go anywhere you do not have to go. Stay home. Shelter in place. When you must go out, cover your face, wear gloves if possible and stay as far away from others as possible. WASH YOUR HANDS often and EVERY TIME you return home. "Boring" beats dying. We can do this.
Do not be stampeded into "going along".
