The Democrat Response To The Coronavirus Is Scarier Than The Virus

February 27, 2020 ~~ By Andrea Widburg
The Democrats claim Trump is mishandling the coronavirus threat and that they’d do better. They’re wrong. Their proposals are redundant, vapid, or dangerous.
During the recent debate, three candidates discussed coronavirus:
Amy Klobuchar urged treatment and quarantine – which is (a) obvious and (b) what Trump is doing. She accused Trump of ignoring the world (he hasn’t) and wants to improve education.
Biden did his inevitable “I already did that response,” referring to Ebola (which, thankfully for America, stayed in Africa).
Bernie Sanders accused Trump of idiocy for predicting the virus would end in April. What Trump said was that influenzas generally go away once winter ends, something that is scientifically correct. Bernie said he would work with WHO (which Trump has done).
In addition to those statements, all three say Trump cannot address coronavirus because he withdrew funds from the CDC and NIH.
On Wednesday, Pelosi issued a formal statement that also says Trump cannot fight the virus because he has shrunk government:
“The American people need a well-coordinated, whole-of-government, fully-funded response to keep them safe from the coronavirus threat. Unfortunately, the Trump Administration has mounted an opaque and chaotic response to this outbreak.
“The Trump Administration has left critical positions in charge of managing pandemics at the National Security Council and the Department of Homeland Security vacant. The Trump Budget called for slashing almost $700 million from the Centers for Disease Control. And even now, the Administration continues to devalue Americans’ health security by ransacking funding from other vital public health needs.
“The House will be advancing a strong, strategic funding package with transparency and accountability that fully addresses the scale and seriousness of this public health crisis.”
Trump is right about the Democrats. They offer nothing in the way of solutions and some of their plans -- such as weakening the border -- are actually counterproductive. They’re just talking in the hopes of diminishing Trump’s election chances, with no regard for the fact that they may be increasing the existential risk of epidemic disease in America.
Comment:
There's no doubt that Democrats from Schumer, Pelosi to Tom Steyer are attempting to politically panic the citizenry with lies and disinformation.
It's no secret that Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Leftist Democrats have a vested interest in hurting the Trump administration in anyway they can with their continued spread doom gloom and panic to the people.
What's insufferable about this is that it all hurts each and every citizen by sowing doubt and panic.
They did this with Bush 43 with Katrina, but down played Obama's incompetency with the BP Oil disaster, and the Ebola crisis.
You just can't trust PMS/DSA Democrats and their co-conspiratal biased MSM for truth or even a well constructed lie.
Both Edward Bernays and Josef Goebbels are dancing in Hell with glee every time PMS/DSA Dems launch their lies of panic.
