It is a bit freigthening to follow US politics on this. Everything seems to be politicized.

I compare it to Denmark where the opposition fully supported the government's decision to shut down schools and send home public sector employees.

I am pretty sure no politician here would dare to politicize a situation like this because of the fear of being punished by their voters.

If large numbers of people start dying you'll likely see the tolerance for political grandstanding drop to near zero. In the meantime, politics are the dominate sport of the United States and people will vigorously cheer for their chosen team.
