Trump admin needs to redefine the narrative with stats

Dems/MSM media winning the narrative battle based on continued irrational fear of general population. General population acts like 99% of the public has the virus instead of the exact opposite.
Dems//MSM winning because vast majority of everyday conversations continue to focus on reaction function (everyone going to die, need a vaccine, shut everything down until 2021, etc) rather than current state of virus itself.
We need Birx out there or whomever showing declining hospitalization curves in the US, new cases in Italy/Spain/Germany approaching zero, etc. At this point, we should also be able to see what % of total cases are in nursing homes or amongst people with pre-existing conditions such that x% of the general population is fine.
MSM can spin opinions easily. Carefully crafted stats will be much harder. However, given current lack of data/stats, MSM media going to continue to fill that vacuum by peddling the sensational headlines.
This virus is seemingly only a few weeks away from dying out like other similar virus outbreaks and general population still freaked out because they aren’t educated on the topic.
