WASHINGTON — SEIU International President Mary Kay Henry released the following statement regarding the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus:
“As the largest union of healthcare workers, SEIU is concerned that President Trump is jeopardizing the health and lives of millions of people by downplaying the severity of this coronavirus, COVID-19. Instead of prioritizing the release of safety guidelines and development of treatment plans, the administration is prioritizing stock prices, spreading false science, and unfairly targeting immigrants and travelers from Asia as a means to distract Americans from the fact that this administration is failing to address this health emergency.
