Warren's rebuke of the White House's outbreak response comes as the senator fights to reinvigorate her presidential bid after a string of disappointing finishes in the first three 2020 primary states.

Her near daily posts on social media on the topic also appear to be an attempt to get back to the "I've got a plan for that" roots of her surge last year while cutting through the noise and intraparty personal attacks that have dominated the field over the past few weeks.

No other Democratic candidate in the race has released a policy plan as to how they would handle the coronavirus epidemic, even though the issue has dominated recent headlines. Joe Biden published an op-ed in late January blasting the administration for implementing "reactionary travel bans" and proposing deep cuts to the budget of the Centers for Disease Control. He vowed in the piece to "reassert U.S. leadership in global health security" and "uphold science" as president, but his campaign told POLITICO there are no current plans to detail the specific steps he would take if elected.

The campaign of Pete Buttigieg responded that the former mayor "has been briefed by our policy team and is ready to respond but hasn't been asked yet" about the virus outbreak. Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign did not immediately respond.

Warren is hitting the issue hard as the White House faces a mounting backlash over its response to the outbreak, which originated in China late last year but has sickened more than 80,000 worldwide and killed thousands.

The White House sent a request to Congress Monday night for $2.5 billion in emergency funding to address the public health crisis, a sum panned as a "low ball" request by the GOP Senate Appropriations chairman. Elsewhere on the Hill, lawmakers grilled Trump officials about what the White House is doing to combat the outbreak, while a top CDC official warned that its spread throughout the country was only a matter of time.

On Tuesday, in addition to touting her plan to combat infectious disease outbreaks, Warren whacked the administration for appearing to play down the “health, diplomatic, and economic threat” posed by the epidemic — as the president has repeatedly done — while praising the response of Chinese President Xi Jinping, whose authoritarian government has been credited with the disease’s rapid spread.

Warren continued the pile-on, ripping Trump for trying to cut funding to public health programs, declaring that "we win the fight against outbreaks by preparing and investing in advance, not scrambling once they’ve spread."

She added: "Even worse, Trump refuses to centralize crisis management in the White House — allowing CDC scientists to be overruled and sowing internal dysfunction. All this mismanagement casts doubt on how effectively he can deploy emergency funding."

Warren also pointed to the economic fallout of the virus, calling the 1,800 two-day plummet in the Dow "the tip of the iceberg." But she also adopted some Trumpian rhetoric as she touted her plan to bring more manufacturing and production jobs back to the U.S., which she said would reduce vulnerability to supply chain disruptions.

"We should be taking action right now to mitigate the supply chain impacts of the outbreak," she wrote. "The government should be helping American manufacturers find alternative sources for parts and production and helping American exporters find new purchasers."

Warren concluded: "Like so much else, the Trump administration’s bungled response to the coronavirus outbreak is a mess. As president, I will lead a competent administration prepared to combat outbreaks — because our public health, economy, and national security depend on it."
