Sen. Bernie Sanders said he hopes President Trump 'understands that the coronavirus is a major, major threat not only to our country, but to the entire world'
Bernie Sanders was critical of President Trump and how he has handled the coronavirus outbreak that has spanned the globe.
"Well, look. That Trump would appoint Mike Pence as the head of the task force on the coronavirus just speaks to how far out of touch Trump is with reality or his disrespect for science. We need scientists running our response to the coronavirus, not a politician like Pence who barely believes in science at all.
Sanders said he hopes that Trump and his administration will continue to work and utilize the expertise of organizations like the National Institute of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We've got to work with the international community. We've got to work with the World Health Organization. We have to adequately fund our hospitals, our doctors, the NIH, the CDC. This is, despite what Trump may think. ... Trump is also the genius that told us that climate change is also a hoax.
