We can already see how the left will try to make Coronavirus into Trump’s Katrina. Get ready for this to be intensely politicized as a black swan event like this is pretty much their only chance for 2020. They will use this to push universal health care and their talking point will be how much Americans have to pay to get tested for Coronavirus. I already see this talking point being pushed.

It is distasteful to politicize horrific situations like this but we must be prepared with a response. This virus makes a very compelling argument for strong borders and travel bans and we should strongly make that case.

The virus also points to the problem with globalization where our supply chains are dependent on China and shows that we need to keep strategic industries at home. The vast majority of our drugs are produced in China, which is a big problem right now. It is important for America to have a diversified supply chain that is not dependent on China and we want to make sure we keep production capacities for key industries at home for strategic reasons.

This situation is going to have an effect on 2020, let’s do our best to counter their propaganda efforts.
