Photo: Scott Olson/Getty Images After 10 debates with a stage full of hopefuls, we are finally down to just two Democratic candidates for president and despite the twists and turns, they’re the two politicians who have led in the polls for the vast majority of the race. As Biden looks to defend his commanding lead in the primaries thus far, it’s effectively a last stand for the Sanders campaign, up against what could be Biden’s insurmountable delegate advantage.
It’s better without the crowds Biden says he’d call in the military, Sanders talks recession fears Responding to a question on whether or not he’d call in the military to help treat the crisis, Sanders turned to the economic impact of the coronavirus. He said that if the Trump administration can provide “$1.5 billion in liquidity for the banks, we have to say to every worker in America ‘Don’t panic, you’ll be able to pay your mortgage.
Sanders responded, saying that “when we spend twice as much on health-care as any other nation … one might expect we were preparing for an epidemic.” He added that the American system is already in crisis, noting that in 2019, “Almost 30,000 people died in America because they couldn’t get health-care as they should … I consider a crisis.”
The coronavirus question Biden began with a cough, then coughed a second time in his early statements on how to respond to the crisis, emphasizing a significant increase in testing capacities.
