Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders each took a turn speaking today on the COVID19 outbreak.
Biden touched on the “xenophobia” angle, because why not:
Joe Biden:
We should not "fall back on xenophobia. Labeling COVID-19 a 'foreign virus' does not display accountability for the misjudgments that have taken thus far by the Trump administration." pic.twitter.com/stiawsHOEG

But whereas Biden advised against panic (at least sort of), Bernie really leaned into it:
"In terms of potential deaths…the crisis we face is on a scale of a major war…we also have to face the truth and that is that the number of casualties may actually be even higher than what the armed forces experienced in World War II." -Bernie Sanders pic.twitter.com/mMPbfcl2aT

Good thing our leaders are approaching this calmly and thoughtfully.
I’m glad @BernieSanders is working hard to keep the American people calm.

It is. And not only that, but it’s really difficult to take Bernie Sanders’ warnings about mass casualties and death seriously given that he’s, you know, Bernie Sanders. A guy who regularly makes excuses for and outright praises the communist regimes under which millions and millions of people have died.
Now do the death toll from Socialism.

I'd listen to this guy.
Communists know a thing or two about death tolls.
