Baldwin, a frequent critic of the president, called Trump the "pandemic that threatens the world" in February as COVID-19 began surging across the globe.
During an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show," Baldwin and his wife Hilaria said they don't discuss the coronavirus around their four children to avoid “contaminating them with fear.”

“My wife and I, we adjourn to another room, we don’t talk about the nuts and bolts in front of the kids,” Baldwin explained. “No point in contaminating them with fear and so forth. We want them to be kids and enjoy their lives and enjoy their day and that’s it.”
