But if you look at it on a national level and in our current political environment, it CAN very well be said that the hype of the corona virus is being amplified to put fear in people. Close the economy = ruin the economy (which it already is for generations to come). So close to a presidential election.
Like you said "their chances of reelection hinge upon their perceived competence in the midst of this crisis". Nothing but negative reports on the Administration from MSM. Its political.
