'''Media coverage of coronovirus''' describes the role American news companies play informing the public during a [[National Emergency]]. The overall theme being crafted is that Trump doesn't know what he is doing. Trump protecting the nation is risky. Trump is making mistake after mistake. Trump is going against the wishes of medical professionals. Trump is endangering lives. Which is in stark contrast to how [[Obama]] was portrayed when Swine Flu was spreading worldwide. The media created the Obama persona, he was president cool factor, he's always calm and competent.
== Zero cases in the USA ==
January 2020 the Democrats were pushing phony impeachment proceeding against the president. At the same time, Trump cuts off all travel from [[China]] and forms a task force to monitor coronavirus spread. The media decided this was a chance to call Trump [[racist]], xenophobe, for restricting travel. The media is on record dismissing and discounting the seriousness of the situation.
== Task Force ==
Trump created the task force and put Vice-President Pence in charge. The media decided this would not work. They claim that Pence has no knowledge of healthcare and the choice endangers the public.
== Trump tell the nation not to worry ==
Daily briefing to media shows Trump has concerns but dismisses the gravity of the situation as to not alarm the public. At the time, China and the [[World Health Organization]] were providing false information claiming the virus doesn't have a human to human connection among other issues. Over several weeks, the times become more critical. Alarm bells were going off in [[Italy]]. Experts are warning of the most serious and dire circumstances. Armed with this data, Trump makes a u-turn. He will cut travel to Europe and declare national emergency at home. The media decided to jump on board with alarming the public and claim that Trump lied, he said we would be fine.
== Chy-na ==
All the media companies had a meltdown with the language used by Trump to describe the coronavirus as the China virus. The [[CCP]] claims it's racist, the media agrees and proceeds to bash Trump time after time with the same question. The media tries to portray Chinese-Americans as victims getting a negative backlash over Trumps choice of words. The media is on record calling the virus a Chinese virus but that didn't matter for this attack angle.
== Shortages ==
It becomes obvious rather quickly in this pandemic that a shortage of critical gear is life threatening. Respirators, ventilators, and other [[PPE]] as well as testing kits are in short supply. The media demands Trump explain himself why he let this happen. It turns out the Obama administration had depleted national stockpiles of respirators in 2010 and never replaced them. Ventilators being scarce, Trump orders publicly-traded companies from the private sector to use their idled plants to build ventilators. The media then decided that Trump was at fault for the lack of test kits. The media blamed Trump and created fake news stories to smear him. The test kits available at the time had a 48% failure rate. Trump did not
interfere in the procurement of test kits as alleged by the media.
== Daily briefings ==
Part of task force briefings has Dr. [[Anthony Fauci]] describing the current situation and measures taken while taking questions from the [[media]]. The media decided to pit Fauci versus Trump. Everyday the media tries to drive a wedge between the two. The media wants to write stories of how Trump is interfering, Trump is bumbling around, Trump is the problem.
== Hydroxychloroquine ==
Trump is advised of the known promises of [[Hydroxychloroquine]] and its use on patients saving lives. Trump touts the benefits and the media instantly decides he is wrong. Trump is accused of endangering the population with his promotion of unproven drugs not approved by the FDA for treatment. The FDA acted rather
quickly and approved its use but Democrat Governors, with encouragement from the media, deciding to restrict its use. The media has never admitted they were wrong and millions of doses are making their way to patients. The media also spread fake news that Trump was profiting off the drug.
== Revisionist history ==
Several months into the global pandemic and the media wants to paint the picture that Trump screwed up by not acting fast enough. The media discounted the seriousness back in January. Trump had his travel bans, Trump had his task force. Democrats were telling the people to ignore Trump's warnings and encouraged continuing on with life as normal. The media gave a platform to various Democrat misinformation. Then once the virus exploded worldwide, the media claims Trump was to busy with re-election or golfing to care. He wasn't doing more when it was needed.
== CARES Act ==
Trump calls for help for the population through congressional approved stimulus package of $1,200 per taxpayer. Democrats have used the coronavirus as a tool to get long sought after pork projects funded. The media provided non-coverage of the money being allocated for non-emergency issues such as funding the Kennedy Center and [[PBS]] broadcasting. The House adjourns for session without an agreement on funding small-business. The media decides they will let [[Democrat]]s get away without fulfilling their responsibilities.
== Re-opening America ==
Trump created a task force on opening [[America]]n businesses back up and put WWE owner Vince McMahon in charge. The media is already questioning everything about the task force. The media sees re-opening America as ill-timed and the wrong move.
