Perhaps, it is best to heed medical experts regarding health issues rather than partisan politicians and the brilliant job they insist they are doing.
This morning it is reported that 4 Senators, two of each major party, dumped stock in January and February immediately after meetings in which they were briefed about COVID-19. While not illegal, it demonstrates some politicians get important information before we, the public do. One of those Senators, already worth an estimated $500 million, dumped some stocks and bought others expected to do well in the crisis we are having.
We know the reported story is true because Senators are required to fill out public disclosure forms. Others, Presidents and Governors, for example, believing they can act above law and ethics often forgo those forms intentionally so we don't know what they have done personally, financially speaking.
The point is this... medical experts have integrity, politicians are a bit more suspect, whether characterized as proactive or not. I prefer to hear what medical experts and patients are saying and doing. We can pat our favorite politicians on the back later. JMHO.
