VIRUS: Don’t make it political

As a retired nurse, I am so disgusted with Democrats politicizing the coronavirus epidemic. I do not understand why for once they can’t put aside their political ideology and work together. Their actions show that they do not care for their constituents or even understand the dynamics of what it takes to contain an infectious disease.

Instead, they should be using their air time to discuss what they are doing to constrain the virus, allay public fears and utilize health experts to help educate the public regarding how the public can protect themselves. I personally applaud President Trump on his handling of this epidemic.

Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and other far left politicians need to stop their vitriolic speech about Trump being responsible for the spread of the virus. He did not cause the virus. They need to look in their own backyard before criticizing someone else.

Trust me a homeless population that is left to defecate anywhere they please brings a whole slew of diseases that can be worse. If you are not willing to be a team player, then you have no right to criticize. Right now the left is not even on the A-team, the team of medical experts. They are on the F-minus team. That is the team that sits in the back doing nothing but criticize.
