these containment measures are important but considering that there are no numbers on tests it really is just a distraction from the fact that no tests are being done in the US.
It makes him look like a "strong leader" in front of his base and lends an appearance of "we don't stop from drastic measures even it hurts the economy" (which he was accused of before).
Any time a talking-head goes in front of a camera, the only question that should be asked is "how many tests did we do today, yesterday? ... where is the data for it?". Without the transparency for the numbers of tests all other measures are just a distraction. Anyone who speaks about stuff before these numbers are public knowledge needs to be kicked off the air and down the street (metaphorically).
Also reporters who engage them and do not insist on extracting the numbers before continuing the conversation are complicit.
