"We Will Get Through This?"

The coronavirus crisis has worsened under Trump's leadership but he's getting higher approval ratings for his handling of it.  While Trump gets to be on TV every day, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders can only hold sporadic streaming events - and Biden is still trying to work the kinks out of his home studio.  More and more people are dying and most of the remaining cases remain active.  A large number of Americans are under lockdown and essential services are under strain - particularity hospitals.  Trump wants to re-open the country in time for Easter despite warnings against that and the Postal Service may shut down completely by June.  There are over a thousand COVID-19 deaths  in America now.  Our spring has pretty much been ruined and the rest of the year doesn't look too great either.   And yet TV news personalities who are isolated in and broadcasting out of their own houses are telling us, "We will get through this!"
