No, democrats are not just going to rubber stamp big corporate bailouts without getting more for workers. We remember what happened the last time the country had to bailout companies and it’s just not going to be allowed to play out again.


Corporations, such as airlines, restaurants and real estate companies, that through no fault of their own were forced to shut down a thriving business overnight because of a national disaster. The bailout is not to rescue corporations, it is to rescue millions of jobs for middle class families that disappear overnight if those businesses collapse.

And Trump spent most of the time up till now downplaying coronavirus. Glad he’s now taking it more seriously but a lot of people are going to die because of his inaction leading into this.


As Laura Ingraham last night went into with quotes from the New York Times, Washington Post, and every broadcast news liberal network, as well the soundbyted rhetoric of House and Senate Democrats, NONE of these people were sounding the alarm and taking the crisis more seriously than Trump. Trump took serious action right from the jump, suspending flights from China on Jan 31, preventing 20,000 potentially infected people a day from entering the U.S.
Trump rightly said that the annual flu kills more people thaan the previous H1N1/Swine Flu epidemic. Chinese travel to Italy and the rest of Europe is what sspread it there, and then to the U.S.

Trump rightly said that many previous outbreaks are halted by the hotter summer weather. Trump (like CDC and NIH experts) said that could happen, not that it actually would.

And ultimately, every decisive action by Trump has been railed on by Democrats as 'over-reaction" or "racist". So despite your lying narrative, you have a very up-hill battle trying to make a convincing argument that Democrats would have taken more action to stop the virus than Trump.

While an overwhelming 80% infected have only mild or moderate symptoms, or no symptoms, 20% have respiratory problems that require hospitalization. Where medical care is available, all but 1 to 2% of those recover. As seen in Italy, the rate of deaths vastly rises when hospitals are overwhelmed. I think Italy currently has about an 8% death rate. That's definitely something we want to avoid.
