The tone on a panel for Fox Business Network show 'Outnumbered' took a decidedly harsh tone on Wednesday. According to Business Insider, some guests began trading memes and mocking banter about COVID-19 restrictions in some states. But then, former State Department spokeswoman and Democratic operative Marie Harf brought them up short. It's not a joke, first of all. A bunch of people are dying every day in this country from coronavirus. Marie Harf Former State Department spokeswoman Weekend 'Fox & Friends' co-host Pete Hegseth wasn't having it, calling social distancing restrictions 'absolute garbage.' When the rules are so ridiculous, they go out the window. People ignore them, as they should. Pete Hegseth Co-host, 'Fox & Friends' weekend edition
A new analysis published Thursday by the journal PLOS ONE reveals the personality traits that encourage compliance with COVID-19 guidelines. Careful and diligent' people are 31% more likely to follow measures designed to contain the spread of COVID-19 than those who don't have these traits. Likewise, those with 'strong cooperative values and a preference for positive interpersonal relationships' are 17% more likely to comply. Conversely, 'assertive, dominant, energetic, active, talkative, impulsive and enthusiastic"' extraverts are 7% less likely to comply than introverts. Understanding which traits encourage or discourage social distancing and mask-wearing can help governments implement health programs more effectively.
For President Donald Trump, a positive diagnosis for COVID-19 couldn't have come at a worse time. Aside from the very serious risk to his health, focusing the nation's attention on the pandemic is the last thing the Trump campaign wants to do. As Trump has now been hospitalized, he's all but powerless to reset his reelection campaign around issues like the Supreme Court and the economy. Some world leaders, like British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, saw a bump in approval from the public following a coronavirus diagnosis. However, it's highly unlikely Trump will receive such grace. He mocked opponent Hillary Clinton in 2016 for contracting pneumonia. He has also jeered at Vice President Joe Biden numerous times for wearing masks and scrupulously observing public health recommendations.
