Democrats more concerned about virus than Republicans

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/partisanship-pandemic-polling-shows-democrats-coronavirus-republicans-parties/story?id=69781489

When the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a pandemic on March 11, about half of the U.S. population said COVID-19 was a "major threat" to the health of the country, but more Democrats felt this way than Republicans, according to polling from Pew Research Center.

While the partisan divide still exists, new polling from Pew Research out Thursday shows that across the board, on both ends of the political spectrum, more Americans now consider it a "major threat" to health as the pandemic continues to rapidly spread across the United States.


Is this how the Republican party ends?

In this case liberals are saying please dont cough on each other and stay home so you live. So naturally they dont.
