> Well, that's true of the left as well. A "bottom-up government economic intervention" fits nicely with existing left wing ideas.

That's true, but the different political ideologies are better at handling different kinds of problems. Public health emergencies like this one are the kind of thing that benefits from a properly-resourced, centrally coordinated response; a solution that happens to lean left.

Each side would of course argue that its own methods for handling each kind of problem is superior.
