As is inevitable in divided times, the coronavirus
has become a political issue in the United States,
where commentators are weighing in on how
President Donald Trump is reacting to the crisis.
On Fox News, Donald Trump Jr. said of the
Democrats: “For them to try to take a pandemic,
and hope it comes here and kills millions of
people so they can end Donald Trump’s streak of
winning, is a new level of sickness.”
CNN’s Gupta said he tries to be wary of what
politicians say about the coronavirus.
“As a medical journalist, I don’t have the luxury
of just getting somebody’s opinion about
something,” he said.
