Here’s the Truth
Answer: According to the surgeon general, masks “are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus”
Answer: No, they haven’t. AP Fact Check called out Mike Bloomberg for spreading this false claim.
In fact, we’ve increased funding for programs like CDC, NIH, and others over the last 5 years.
Answer: Bernie Sanders seemed to suggest this recently, but it’s false. There is no vaccine, & there won’t be one probably for another year.
Right now we’re focusing on better testing & treatment.
Answer: So far, it’s mostly the elderly. Parents should know that children are actually not very likely to be harmed by this disease right now.
Answer: Absolutely not. Medicare for All and price controls would destroy the incentives needed for the private sector to innovate a vaccine or treatment.
Answer: Of course not. President Trump was referring to the constant politicization of this issue.
When the president says “don’t panic,” he’s not downplaying this. We want people to be safe, not worried.
