This is a novel virus that we fighting. We should not be trying to divide the county. This is a medical crisis , not a political crisis.

I think an argument can be made that it's both a medical crisis and a political crisis. But I do applaud your call for unity. Unfortunately, when there's political animus come from the country's leadership - you will have a yeoman's job ahead of you.
