It’s another sign of how sick our society has become; our response is driven by partisanship

It has become an article of faith on the right that this epidemic has been fueled by the media in order to hurt the president. So downplaying it is an act of partisan loyalty.

It has become an article of faith on the left that the suffering in the country is essentially Trump’s fault. They do not trust anything that emanates from the White House.

This is going to make recovery really difficult.
