DATESTAMP: 25 MARCH 2020; DATA GATHERED AT TIME WHEN VIRUS CASES ARE DOUBLING EVERY 3 DAYS

President of the United States of America lights the fuse on a ticking time bomb: Boomers are Expendable.

Trump Asks an Idled Nation: Why Is Your Life More Valuable Than My Economy? By 5:1, Americans Say 'Flattening the Curve' More Important
Than Putting People Back to Work; Is Coronavirus Cure Worse Than Problem? By 2:1, USA Says 'No.' 1 in 3 Say It Is Best Just to Ignore Trump:


Americans vigorously disagree with President Donald J Trump's latest 2 assertions, a) that the cure for the Coronavirus might be worse than the disease itself, and b) that "opening up" the country should happen in the next couple of weeks, according to SurveyUSA's latest time-series tracking poll on COVID-19, the global pandemic.

Immediately after President Trump announced that he would like to see America's churches packed shoulder-to-shoulder with parishioners on Easter Sunday, 18 days from now, SurveyUSA interviewed 1,000 Americans nationwide on multiple aspects of the government's virus response. This is the first set of findings of several that will be released from this data-set.

64% of American adults say they are familiar with the expression, "Flatten the Curve," which has been for weeks the consistent drumbeat from local, state, and federal health officials, designed to keep America's symptomatic patients from all showing up in the hospital Emergency Room at the same time. Of those familiar:

* 79% say it is more important to flatten the curve compared to the 16% who say it is more important to put Americans back to work.
* 73% say it is more important to flatten the curve compared to the 23% who say their personal freedom is more important.
* 65% say it is more important to flatten the curve compared to the 29% who say it is more important to help the US economy.
* 60% say it is more important to flatten the curve compared to the 35% who say it is more important to pay the rent.

By 2:1, Americans disagree with the President's repeated assertion that he does not want a cure for Coronavirus to be worse than the disease. 57% nationwide say the government effort to prevent the spread of the virus is saving lives, compared to 27% who say that the government response is creating more problems than it is solving.

* By 5:4, Americans say President Trump is more concerned about the stock market than he is about keeping Americans safe.
* By 5:4, Americans say President Trump is more concerned about getting re-elected than he is about keeping Americans safe.
* In fairness, the percentage of Americans who say Trump is concerned with keeping people safe has grown slowly from 34% to 37% to today 40%.

Americans are divided over whether the government's response to the virus is too focused on big corporations or too focused on the average working person. Just 8% say the government is too focused on the average working person, compared to 39% who say the government is too focused on big corporations. But another 39% say the government response has struck the right balance between workers and corporate bigs.

When evaluating how they should react to competing narratives about the virus, 49% of Americans say it is better to listen to President Trump. 35% of Americans say it is better to ignore President Trump.

About: SurveyUSA interviewed 1,000 USA adults nationwide 03/24/20 through 03/25/20. The research was conducted online. Though 100% of the interviews were conducted after President Trump announced that he wanted to see America's churches full on Easter Sunday, it is unknowable what percentage of respondents may have heard that specific language before responding to this opinion survey. SurveyUSA has released a dozen separate opinion research data-sets on the Coronavirus to date. As new data is gathered and released, results are immediately posted to @SurveyUSA's twitter feed, here.

Is the federal government's response to the Coronavirus too focused on the average working person? Too focused on big corporations? Or well balanced between the two?
