@blatham,
The facts are not with you here. Our action to limit travel and entry was swift and more effective than evidently was that of other countries including South Korea, Iran, and Italy. We do have a problem in that the manufacture of many types of medical equipment and many generic drugs and medicine have been outsourced to China, leaving us without needed domestic production capability - very much as in President Trump's earlier concerns about steel and manufacturing. Comparison of the response to the current event with those of previous administrations involving the SARs and H1N1 epidemics reveals the same struggles to develop tests and vaccines ahead of the rate of transmission of the disease.
Schumer and Pelosi are merely continuing the same compulsive narrative that they have been doing since Trump's election. It has so far come at the direct expense of their Legislative duties , which were the main casualty of their all consuming hatreds, along with the absence of any mainstream Democrat political agenda. This I believe indirectly created the opening for the new far left movement in the Party that may put Sanders in a commanding position for the nomination, and destroy any chance they might have had to retain control of the House and take the Presidency.
