Basically, in the future, I advise you not to listen to advice from the U.S. federal government. They've shown themselves to be untrustworthy, to continue to lie, when the stakes are the lives of thousands to millions of citizens. They are outbidding states for medical equipment, and withholding it from the states in the center of the outbreak for political payback. They have lied about the market recovering, while telling their friends to sell. They have a pattern of lying about public safety, all the way back to the hurricane and Sharpiegate. They have issued no orders for quarantine, and given almost no leadership or planning to deal with the crisis. They have, however, used the virus as an excuse to excite racism. Thousands have died from their lack of leadership already.
Do everything you can to comply with your state governors' orders, Americans. They are on the front lines, deciding how to implement social distancing, lockdowns, move medical supplies where they are needed, and cutting through regulations to ensure more medics and medical facilities are available.
But do not listen to Trump or the federal government guidance. The U.S. government cannot be counted on to protect your life or property, nor are they working in your interest. Please, don't listen to the federal government -- it may save your life.
Ronald Reagan would be so happy right now seeing his dream made real.

This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."
