I think that the government should be more honest with things like this. They may just be trying to keep the public calm but every relationship is built on trust. If the government wants the people to trust them they need to trust the people. They had a very good agreement with the reporter but ended up messing it up by being faulty on their end.

I don't think there was anything wrong with the question that person asked, because it was an honest question he had. I believe the government handled it wrongly by shutting him off after that. They acted as if he had "offended" him but he was genuinely concerned. I have to say though that i think the schools and stuff should be closed because that is how the disease could spread quickly. The younger people may not react to the virus in such a bad way as the older generation and may think they have a cold, but they could be carriers of it and they are traveliing to and fro and could be spreading it that way. I did hear that the millennials are doing most of the damage by spreading this why. Although, this was a very childish way to respond to that person and the government needs to step up and be dependable and trustworthy.

It is kind of a suspicious situation. A reporter asked a normal, respectable question. And without reason, he losses his access and does not get a reason why. Nor does anyone dare to answer his question. As a matter of fact, he asked a pretty good question too. He provided support for his question, and he is just doing his job. Clearly, the governor is either hiding something or has some underlying plan other than protecting the population.
