CBS Worries Unconcerned Republicans Could Get Us All Sick

[See NewsBusters for more.] Talking to a self-quarantined Ted Cruz on Friday, CBS This Morning’s Tony Dokoupil worried that unconcerned Republican voters might get more Americans sick with the Coronavirus. The host nudged, “As a Republican senator, what is your message to Republican voters, Republican citizens, about how seriously they should take this outbreak?” Citing a Survey Monkey poll, Dokoupil began, “Another component is the public reaction. We each have a role to play in containing and mitigating the effects of this illness. There's a poll out this morning showing that Republicans are much less concerned than Democrats about contracting the illness.”
