This is just one guy thinking that government know what they are doing and that they are "fine". I have read other delusional thinking on Reddit along the lines of "Trump seems to be so confidant, this must be a bio-attack on China/Iran and somehow the virus is not going to spread in the USA". This was before the virus spreading to Italy and Iran/China being the only countries with breakouts. This kind of delusional thinking is not very different from religion and believing in God. People who believe in God, when they are found in hard situations, will think that somehow god (the savior) will come for their rescue. Apparently, people who do not believe in God will think that somehow the universe/government or whatever will come to their rescue. The issue is that people holding power/government seems to be, eh, usual folks. They are still operating with a normal brain which when confronted with abnormal situations that it can't handle will just imagine that stuff is going to return to normal. Bill Gates has already warned about something close to the Coronavirus and that we are very far from being ready. Nobody was listening and my guess is the change is going to happen through natural selection.
