(17,633 posts)The process for the uninsured will be to stay home and infect as many people as possible before taking a trip in an ambulance to the ER.

(14,920 posts)briefings from the nation's leading experts, and nearly unlimited resources at his disposal, if only any of it mattered enough to him to pay attention.

(14,920 posts)will actually be "fine". In the case of previous coronaviruses SARS and MERS, a substantial percentage of people who recovered were left with pulmonary fibrosis or other chronic problems. He is stupid and ignorant and unconcerned with whether anything he says is true or false.
