Washington Examiner @dcexaminer

Democrats: Well clearly this is all Trump’s fault:

Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi

Trump and Republicans downplayed the deadly threat of the #coronavirus. Moscow Mitch decided to take a 'pause' rather than help the American people with a strategic plan. Don't be misled. Their failure and denial are costing lives.

CNN March 4: “the flu right now is far deadlier. So if you’re freaked out at all about the coronavirus you should be more concerned about the flu" "15,000 people roughly have already died of the flu this season. Couple years ago, 60,000 people died of the flu."

Conservatives: But Fauci praised the move. And yeah, you aren’t, but you blasted the actual president for not reacting the same way you’ve been reporting about this pandemic: with hyperventilating hysterics .

Media: Blinks.
