It’s revolting to watch these Trump press conferences. The President of the United States standing up there in the midst of this crisis—we started March with 89 cases; as I write, on March 19, we’re above 11,000—picking fights with the press, still insistently saying “Chinese virus,” taking credit for things he didn’t do, bragging about how it would all be much worse if he hadn’t banned […]
Last week, Republican members of Congress heard a sober warning in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill: There’s a good chance most people in the United States will be exposed to the novel coronavirus within two years, according to one former official.

Democrat Senator Chris Murphy met in secret with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif last weekend. While discussion is preferable to escalation, Murphy has slated Republicans for attempting similar backchannel diplomacy before.
