As Trump wins praise for effective Coronavirus response, blue cities do opposite, threatening its spread it through homelessness

President Trump has rightly won praise from medical professionals and public health officials for taking tough action, even against leftist criticism, for effectively protecting the U.S. from the ravages of the coronavirus.

Nations that didn't do that, such as China itself — which hid the crisis, enabling its spread; South Korea — which kowtowed to China; and possibly Japan and Italy, are now reaping severe consequences.  Thomas Lifson wrote about the left's criticism here, and I wrote about Trump's sharp recognition of a threat when he sees one here.

As the left continues to heap criticism on Trump, with various claims of "chaos," along with howls about a prayer before a task force meeting, it's pretty obvious they aren't the guys you'd want running anything in a time of crisis.

Exhibit A is President Obama's response to the swine flu crisis of 2009, letting 1,000 people die before any action was taken, and downplaying the matter for political purposes even when it did.  Never let a crisis go to waste?

Exhibit B is coming today from the blue cities, where officials are worried that the homeless are going to serve as a massive disease vector for the spread of the virus throughout those cities.

Here's Tucker Carlson last night:

Here's the Los Angeles Times:

Beilenson and others said homeless people present unique risks and challenges for outbreaks of infectious diseases. Though the number of coronavirus cases remains at only a few dozen in the United States, homeless people, in particular, for multiple reasons could be vulnerable to both a quick spread of the illness and to more severe cases.

People living outdoors often do so in close quarters and lack the ability to maintain basic hygiene, including precautions such as hand washing.

If the Left gets this C-virus going bad enough, they will shut down Trump’s rallies. This will be their next trick.

they will shut down Trump’s rallies.

And if this continues through election day, you know what they will do to depress turnout.

“If the Left gets this C-virus going bad enough, they will shut down Trump’s rallies. This will be their next trick.”

If it got bad and rallies were somehow shut down — Trump would find a way to have virtual rallies online. Not as much fun but it would not dampen support for Trump.

If you build them, they will come. If you make it legal, they will do it. If you pay them for it, they will show up. What is so hard to understand here?

One Democrat already threatened to spread the Corona virus at Trump rallies.
