What I want Joe to do in this moment of crisis: address the nation regarding COVID-19 ...

...and what a strong immediate Democratic WH response would look like.

Not pie in the sky. Not "someday" when the current healthcare system has been dismantled and replaced by M4A. Not "if only they had listened to me years ago" -- but right now the day we get Trump out.

And in a sense 2 tracks: strong demand for bipartisan cooperation between House and Senate to overrule Trump; and what I said above about the day we get Trump out.

Plan now. Look presidential now.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

and basically said the same thing as you. Evidently both Biden and Sanders had to cancel rallies for tonight. I'm under the impression that they will both be addressing it sometime soon. I hope Joe does. He's had direct experience dealing with Ebola. He knows what to do.

Stop causing people to gather in crowds. Don't visit factories, etc.

There's this thing called video streaming. Finish the primaries without providing a means to spread the virus.

That would be fantastic in back to back commercial clips toward November. Show Biden's early stage perspective compared to Trump and his contained hoax
