Donald Trump’s way of handling the deadly coronavirus is being criticized by experts. And they recently claimed that a Bernie Sanders policy could have helped slow down the spread of the illness.
The POTUS visited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week but only after 22 people already died from the illness and over 500 cases have been registered. While there, Melania Trump’s husband tried to fend off the anger that he has been receiving from Americans.
On his Twitter account, the president also blamed the Democrats and the so-called Fake News Media for inflaming the crisis.
“The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the coronavirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, 'The risk is low to the average American,” he wrote.
On Thursday, Washington admitted that they didn’t have enough testing kits to halt the growing crisis. The shocking revelation led experts to think that Sanders’ proposal for free healthcare may have been the best way to prevent the coronavirus from spreading.
The experts also revealed that that lack of paid sick leave and a political class that has downplayed the threat are just some of the reasons why coronavirus has gotten worse.
“The US has certain strengths when it comes to innovation and expertise around diseases, but it also has critical vulnerabilities, especially with our health system,” Lawrence Gostin told the Financial Times.
During his rally, Sanders said that what the country needs is a president who doesn’t play politics with the people’s health and national security. He vowed to pass Medicare for All if he will get elected.
“Besides passing Medicare for All so everyone can see a doctor or get a vaccine for free, my administration will greatly expand funding for the Center for Disease Control and National Institute of Health, work with the international community, including with the World Health Organization, and invest in research and technology to make vaccines available quickly,” he said.
