What do you suppose his cult members who are old and/or sick feel when they hear that? That it’s their patriotic duty to die?

10. The process for uninsured

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.

I wonder what the process will be for the half million homeless people?

Of course, we needn't worry. Our health care system, the most expensive in the world, is ranked the worst of all of the developed nations, combine that with our current national leadership and I am sure we will be fine.

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.

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.

He said there would be "one-off" patients that are young and healthy who will succumb to the virus, even though no one knows of any risk factors for them.
