morning. don t go any way, morning joe starts now. this week in covid history, march 2020, week two, everyone is getting mask fever. n95 masks, gas masks and mask singers like sarah palin seen about singing about her moist alaska bottoms. speaking of uncomfortable shaking, president trump shakes hands in florida. lots and lots of hands, but don t worry about that pesky coronavirus. we re doing a great job with it. and it will go away. just stay calm. lit go away. really? because it sort of feels like it s getting out of control. tom hanks got it. arenas are empty and people are buying t.p. like hot cakes. be calm. it s really working out. and a lot of good things are going to happen. no reason to panic. ask fox news. why the mask hysteria over the coronavirus when it s far more lethal to have the flu? why if the flu is by pure numbers much more dangerous, why do you think there s this reaction that we see everywhere? it s actually the safest time to fly
