President Trump's Coronavirus Guidelines for America (household mailer)
A two-sided bulk-mail card headed 'Slow the Spread: President Trump's Coronavirus Guidelines for America', with the White House and CDC marks and the date March 16, 2020. The reverse lists steps (stay home if sick, avoid gatherings of more than 10, wash hands) and tells even the 'young, or otherwise healthy' that they are at risk. The public-health guidance travels under the president's name and two institutional marks.
