4. I would assume both have the same solutions at this time.

We're not going to reform the healthcare system in 24 hours. What Bernie thinks about Medicare for All right now has zero impact on how we're going to respond to this crisis. We're basically stuck with the system we have to fight this.

So, what can we do as a nation, as a people, to make sure this doesn't continue to spread?

Both can talk about the need to make sure if you're sick, even if you're not high risk, you do not continue to infect others.

They should admonish Trump on his handling.

And bring their suggestions on how they'd handle this crisis if, tomorrow, they suddenly were president.

Sorry, but I don't think Medicare for All is the answer to that question - it might be a solution Bernie can discuss about making sure it doesn't happen again ... but not how to fix this current issue.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
