Then the other group, who is very loud, have proclaimed that the entire pandemic is Trump's fault. They're absolutely come a positively trying to make political hay out of this.
I have a feeling this may prove to be a tactical mistake that very well could backfire politically. Coronavirus is already winding down in China. Today there are 14,801 active cases in China, and yesterday there were 16,136. The number of active cases has been dropping like that for over three weeks, and the number of daily new cases has been stable in the mid-to-low double digits.
Barring any unforeseen events (I can't claim to predict the future), the numbers indicate China should be free of Coronavirus in less than a month. If you consider that the first reported case in the US appeared 6-7 weeks after China, that would suggest that we should be through this by early June (which is a full month and a half before the Democratic National Convention).
So, if that's how things end up panning out (again, I can't predict the future... maybe this turns out to be the literal apocalypse, but I somehow doubt it), then those making political hay now are likely to end up with egg on their face, and Trump will be able to claim this pandemic as a victory. But who knows... nothing's guaranteed.
