It doesn't confuse the issue. The issue is covid-19 and how dangerous it will be.



Sure, and the danger with it at this point is so many people contracting it, showing serious symptoms, and it overloading our healthcare system to the point the system can't adequately treat people, like what is happening in Italy. If we can contain it somewhat and limit its spread, that becomes less of a concern and the death rate is mitigated.

I'm certainly not predicting what's happened in Italy is going to happen here. I think we have a geographical advantage that will mostly prevent that. But I don't think we've been adequately working on containing it until this week, which is likely 3 or 4 weeks too late. And I think we haven't been doing so because this administration is more concerned with the political fallout of it than it is protecting the people in this country. It's shameful.

I'm not sure if you're insinuating that if someone else was the president, things could be different.
What other President would be doing anything differently?
Even Bernie would not have shut the entire country down.
I honestly don't think that any president from right wing to left wing would be doing anything differently than what Trump is doing now.
