"People want to go back to work. I'm hearing it loud and clear from everyone. We have to go back. This is the USA they don't want to sit around and wait. They'll still be social distancing. And washing hands. But they still have to back. We have to go back to work." - Trump
COVID19 on Twitter
It's messages like this that confuse people, leading them to believe that the virus is nothing to worry about, that people do not need to isolate, that everyone should carry on as usual, return to work while washing their hands as they normally do and not getting too close to others.
