Mrs. Trump tweeted, “Our great country is fighting hard against the #Coronavirus. This nation is strong and steady and we will overcome. Please take action to prevent further spread.”

It only took a few moments for angry critics to question her sincerity.

So far, coronavirus has resulted in the President declaring a National Emergency. In addition, several states have declared emergencies within their own borders, as well. Large cities such as Los Angeles and New York City have taken additional steps to prevent the spreading of the virus, including the closing of all public schools and the closing of restaurants and stores.

At this time there are well over 3,500 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the US and over 60 deaths. The Trump Administration is taking measures to prevent further spreading and urging the general public to engage in social distancing.
