Even Republicans Are Worried the Trump Administration Isn't Ready for a Coronavirus Outbreak
The Centers for Disease Control on Tuesday issued a warning that the coronavirus is likely to break out in the United States. “It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen in this country any more but a question of when this will happen,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, according to the New York Times.
“We are asking the American public to prepare for the expectation that this might be bad,” Messonnier added.
The warning isn’t surprising considering the virus — of which over 80,000 cases resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths have been reported — is now making its way through Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, after originating in China last year. But you wouldn’t know it from listening to President Trump discuss the disease. “I think that’s a problem that’s going to go away,” Trump said Tuesday during a press conference in India.
“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA,” he added on Twitter. “We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

But the Republicans still won't do jack shit about it.
