The virus may make me sick, but likely not as sick as liberals using it as a hammer to beat Trump make me.

While it's true that the Trump administration disbanded the group that the Obama administration created to help with communication between the various agencies who'd need to work together in this kind of emergency, it's also true that many of the underlying healthcare problems, infrastructure and supply shortages, and misunderstandings by the general public about science have existed for far longer and are hardly their fault. That said, the buck stops with this administration and how it handles this situation as it develops will be its responsibility entirely.
I found this article explaining journalists' point of view in trying to cover this enlightening.
Media faces challenges in covering coronavirus outbreak
By DAVID BAUDER, AP News | todayNEW YORK (AP) — Covering the coronavirus story requires careful navigation and constant attention.
News organizations trying to responsibly report on the growing health crisis are confronted with the task of conveying its seriousness without provoking panic, keeping up with a torrent of information while much remains a mystery and continually advising readers and viewers how to stay safe.
“It’s hard to tell people to put something into context and to calm down when the actions being taken in many cases are very strong or unprecedented,” said Glen Nowak, director of the Grady College Center for Health and Risk Communication at the University of Georgia.
But that’s what journalists in charge of coverage say they need to do.
“I keep reminding the viewers that still, based on two very large studies, the vast majority of people who get this infection are not going to get sick,” said Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s medical correspondent. “They’re going to have a mild illness, if any, and they’re going to recover. This tends to be very reassuring to people. But I don’t want to minimize this. We’re dealing with something that is growing and becoming a legitimate pandemic.”

Also, it's looking like the virus is not airborne, but rather, transmitted on surfaces. Burn everything in your house that says: "Made in China"
