This could hurt Trump. as the mantra lately from the left is Trump defunded the pandemic team at the CDC. He has to get on top of that.
Forgotten by November—the news cycle can barely function past a few days....and if Bernie is the candidate this will be a _minor_ _minor_ issue, won’t even register as the tenth most important issue in opinion polls.
The reality is that money can’t fix this—the epidemic is gonna do what it is gonna do—it is probably already in every big city in America.
Just one example—.gov thought they had contained it by banning flights from Wuhan. Folks from Wuhan circumvented the ban by flying to Thailand who asked no questions when they then booked flights to the US and the rest of the world.
Containing epidemics with long dormancy periods is totally impossible in the modern world. It is not just difficult, it is impossible.
All the rest is posturing.
