Fpp3 Mask
fpp3 mask, Sen. John Barrasso criticizes Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi for politicizing coronavirus instead of focusing on public health and safety Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso, a medical doctor, said on “America’s Newsroom” on Thursday that it is “disturbing” to see Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and other Democrats politicize coronavirus. “I’m a doctor. My focus is on the health of the American people,” he said. “This should be a bipartisan concern and commitment.”
fpp3 mask - Barrasso, the chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, made the comments as the U.S. government's response to the coronavirus, which has swept around the world, sickening and killing thousands, has become gripped by political infighting between President Trump and Democrats. One of the highest-profile confrontations has been the fight over funding to combat the outbreak. Trump requested $2.5 billion in funding from Congress for the coronavirus response, an amount that Schumer said was too little as he panned the Trump administration's preparedness for a disease federal officials say may cause severe disruption to everyday life in the U.S.
fpp3 mask, With no plan to deal with the potential public and global health crisis related to the novel coronavirus, the Trump administration made an emergency supplemental appropriations request on Monday, Schumer said in a statement Wednesday. It was too little and too late — only $1.25 billion in new funding. For context, Congress appropriated more than $6B for the Pandemic Flu in 2006 and more than $7B for H1N1 flu in 2009.

fpp3 mask - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., also knocked the president's funding request, calling it completely inadequate and criticizing the president for previous moves to cut funding to public health programs. She called the response anemic. In his Wednesday night press conference on the coronavirus threat, Trump criticized the Democratic leaders for their tone on funding while fitting in a couple of insults. I think she's incompetent and I think she's not thinking about the country, Trump said of Pelosi.
fpp3 mask - But we have to work together, Trump continued. Instead, she wants to do the same thing with cryin' Chuck Schumer. He goes out and he says the president only asked for $2.5 billion, he should have $8.5 billion. This is the first time I've ever been told that we should take more. Usually, it's we have to take less. Trump also said Pelosi “is trying to create a panic and there is no reason to panic … all they are trying to do is get a political advantage.”
