Conflicting Messages
It is hard for public health leaders in the US. They repeat warnings about surviving COVID-19 while the President mocks the prophylactics of washing hands, wearing a mask and watching out for distancing from others. Conflicting messages confuse citizens, especially those leaning toward ignoring the pandemic. They point to Trump for support in going “naked.” Others who listen to the medical community are horrified. Who is right? Evidence points to the physicians. COVID cases are up again across the US (as well as across Europe). The severity of the disease doesn’t appear as strong as it was. Fewer are dying but more are coming down with it. It is morally wrong for the White House to play down COVID publicly, but it is doing it anyway. Such is propaganda in the 2020 campaign.
