The coronavirus has rattled financial markets and has the attention of the nation, but so far has yet to make much of a dent in the presidential campaign.
Democratic candidates did talk about the illness in Tuesday night’s debate, critiquing President Trump’s response to the emergency.
Only one other campaign contacted by Yahoo News responded to questions about what contingency plans they might be making for a scenario in which schools are closed, as the CDC has said might be necessary, or if large public events are canceled, as has happened in China, South Korea and Italy. Story continuesIn the debate, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg faulted Trump for weakening the government’s capabilities over the past few years.
“I was part of making sure that pandemic did not get to the United States, saved millions of lives,” Biden said. “We set up, I helped set up, that office in the president’s office on diseases that are pandemic diseases. We increased the budget of the CDC. We increased the NIH budget.”There are also no clear signs that the virus has had an impact on voter behavior, and it may be too soon to tell.
