Senator Mike Braun’s public service announcement for The Weather Channel with tips on how you and your family can take everyday action to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
“We need to treat it with all the resources that we can bring to bear. I think for us, when you look at the numbers, it has been in a couple of clusters and we’ve got the benefit of the best infrastructure,†Braun said.
Braun said the United States was working with other countries to understand how they have dealt with COVID-19.
“We’ve learned from other countries and I think we’ll cope with it as well as anyone could expect, Braun said.
“I think we got out of the gate slowly with the test kits and I think we’ve rectified that,†Braun said. “I think when you put the Vice President as your point person of this, and you look at the CDC, the National Institute of Health, the Department of Homeland Security, the FDA, we’ve got everybody at full alert.â€
Senator Braun reacted to downturns in the market due to coronavirus fears with Stu Varney, urging investors and Main Street businesses to put this downturn in perspective with the 2008 and 1987 market collapses, which this does not resemble.
Senator Braun joined David Asman and Stephen Moore on Fox Business’s Bulls & Bears to discuss the economic response to the coronavirus, noting that while the U.S. must bring all of our healthcare infrastructure and resources to bear against the virus outbreak, we must exercise caution in responding to the economic impacts of the outbreak.
“I differentiate between the full frontal attack on the disease with our healthcare infrastructure as opposed to stepping in on the economic front. I think we need to give the economic component a little time to play out as we’re attacking the disease itself.”
