[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the Trump apologist above who asked where the Democratic plans were, here is an article about Warren proposing a federal response plan in January.

According to this article her plan was to up funding for the CDC and the NIH by $100 billion (likely over ten years--hard to tell because the actual plan is no longer available on her website), mostly to fund a vaccine.

As we know, a vaccine takes a really long time because of the testing required.

No mention of testing or any other response in her plan, except long-term increase of funding for the two agencies.  Also an implication this could all wait until she was elected.

“Like so much else, Trump’s approach to keeping us safe from disease outbreaks is a mess,” she said on her website. [b]“But when he’s gone, we can fix it.”[/b]

Both parties have done badly on this.  But no worse than in Europe, and we are in a position to move in full force to prevent an Italy because the China travel ban put us behind their curves.[/quote]
