Capital Hill is officially in full coronavirus fever, as the COVID-19 outbreak replaces the Russian collusion hoax and the failed impeachment effort by Democrats as the next big thing that will take down President Donald Trump.

With the media having bought in on the narrative and Speaker Nancy Pelosi talking about civilization being at risk if Trump should be reelected, the president goes about the business of looking out for the American people.

On Monday, after the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2013.76 points, which is the biggest daily drop ever in terms of points, President Trump unveiled the first stage of a coronavirus bailout package to assist the economy.

Looking to help protect the American economy, the president spoke at a White House briefing about unveiling “very dramatic” proposals that would likely include a payroll tax cut, help for hourly workers so they will not be penalized for missing work, and crisis loans for small businesses.

“We are going to be asking tomorrow, we’re seeing the Senate. We’re going to be meeting with House Republicans, Mitch McConnell, everybody discussing a possible payroll tax cut or relief, substantial relief,” the president said.

“We’re also going to be talking about hourly wage earners getting help so that they can be in a position where they’re not going to ever miss a paycheck,” he added.

According to The New England Journal of Medicine, the first case of coronavirus in the U.S. was reported on January 20, 2020, which was just seven weeks ago, and the president took note of early actions taken — there are now around 546 people in the country who have been confirmed to have the virus, with 22 deaths reported.

“This was something that we were thrown into and we’re going to handle it, and we have been handling it very well,” Trump said. “The big decision was early when we shut down our borders.  We’re the first ones ever to do that.  We’ve never done that in our country before.  Or we’d have a situation that would be a lot more dire.”

In an earlier tweet, Trump added a little perspective to the numbers.
