I think the typical response to things like that is "a life is a life" or something like that.
Which media outlets were or are pushing the "it's not even as bad as the flu" agenda?

American exceptionalism: money over country... as we've discussed many times before.
Ok, there were many outlets. Trump saying that doesn't reflect the actions taken more than a month before that. I still disagree with him saying it though.
Oh yeah? While the whole nation is on stay-at-home or lockdown in order to avoid any kind of gathering? perfect time?
Understood, but, bargain the Bill, get it right, & get it passed, ID the projects, target the materiels, etc., so, that when Corona does lift we're ready to go at that precise moment
Seems you can do a lot of road work while social distancing tbh.
Do tell how you make roads working from home.
This would make sense if this Congress wouldn't be passing everything at the last minute due to the political gotchas and bickering. It's disgusting.
I'd like to see this Congress addressing head on our lack of equipment, testing, more aid to States. That's what they need to be thinking about right now.
Drew never said that.
Yep. I figured they'd [gotcha & bicker] forever at 200 dead a day. I never figured they'd do it at 1k dead a day.
I was wrong.
Remember when he had that Sex Line show on USA channel with the Easy Bake Oven sequence?
Before we really had a handle on it, sure.

All of them, save the first, who write a LOT of fluff pieces on pro-biotics for a drippy-dippy health website, recognized the threat before Dear Leader. The epidemiologist who you cited first probably did so too, but didn't write about it again, until the 17th.
By March 12th is was obvious who was being a lying, evil , like the one whose ass your lips seemed permanently attached to.

February 6 = we don't know anything. flu is, for now more deadlly.
February 28th = ok, we know enough to say its going to be much worse than the flu.
So yeah, Fox news ran with it even after everyone else, including every single reporter you cited, knew otherwise.March 9: “So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” — Trump in a tweet.
March 10: “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” — Trump after meeting with Republican senators.
QED.
By letting the road workers leave their home and social distancing while on the job.

not everyone's stay at home orders are the same, construction is essential here and they've been doing it all throughout this
Oh yeah? Haven't heard of that on this side of town.

The Trump administration on Friday dramatically escalated its response to the fast-spreading coronavirus epidemic by announcing quarantines and major travel restrictions that officials said were meant to limit contagion.
The measures, which could affect thousands of people around the world, represented a marked expansion of the federal government’s response after initially downplaying potential risks.
The White House declared a “public health emergency” and — beginning on Sunday at 5 p.m. — will bar non-U.S. citizens who recently visited China from entering the United States, subject to a few exemptions. Shortly after the White House announced the new restrictions and said there were six confirmed U.S. cases, a seventh case was confirmed in Santa Clara County, Calif.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar also said the Trump administration would quarantine any Americans who had visited China’s Hubei province, where the disease originated, within the past 14 days. The government will also require screening and self-quarantines for all other Americans who recently visited any other parts of China. Officials said the self-quarantine rules would require individuals to stay in their homes for a certain length of time, monitor themselves for certain symptoms such as coughing, and check their temperatures and report them to local health officials.
