On Tuesday, Louisiana GOP Senator John Kennedy grilled the acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf due to his lack of knowledge on the coronavirus, officially known as COVID-19.

Kennedy's anger continued when Wolf told him that a vaccine was only a few months away, which Kennedy noted was a different number from an earlier congressional briefing that found it would take 12-18 months.

"The questions Sen. Kennedy was asking were specific to the medical field and should be directed to the CDC and HHS. DHS's authority in this area at this time is primarily related to incoming travelers," Swift wrote. "Has this Johns Hopkins map of the coronavirus stopped working for other people, or is it just me?" Cuccinelli wrote on his Twitter with a link to the map."I just tried again, and it looks like Johns Hopkins put the information behind a membership wall of some kind. Seems like bad timing to stop helping the world with this useful resource. Here's hoping it goes back up soon.
