https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/07/stephen-millers-grandmother-died-of-covid-19-her-son-blames-the-trump-administration/On July 4, David Glosser, the brother of Millers mother, posted a Facebook note announcing the death of his mother, Ruth Glosser, who was Millers maternal grandmother:
This morning my mother, Ruth Glosser, died of the late effects of COVID-19 like so many thousands of other people; both young and old. She survived the acute infection but was left with lung and neurological damage that destroyed her will to eat and her ability to breathe well enough to sustain arousal and consciousness. Over an 8-week period she gradually slipped away and died peacefully this morning.
David Glosser is a retired neuropsychologist and passionate Trump critic who has publicly decried Miller for his anti-immigrant policies, and he contends that Trumps initial lack of a response to the coronavirus crisis led to the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans who might have otherwise survived. In an interview, he says, With the death of my mother, Im angry and outraged at [Miller] directly and the administration he has devoted his energy to supporting.
In response to a request seeking comment from Miller, a White House spokesperson sent Mother Jones this statement: This is categorically false, and a disgusting use of so-called journalism when the family deserves privacy to mourn the loss of a loved one. His grandmother did not pass away from COVID. She was diagnosed with COVID in March and passed away in July so that timeline does not add up at all. His grandmother died peacefully in her sleep from old age. I would hope that you would choose not to go down this road.
Moreover, Ruth Glossers death certificatewhich her son shared with Mother Joneslists her cause of death as respiratory arrest resulting from COVID-19. Informed that Ruth Glossers death certificate cited COVID-19, the White House spokesperson replied, Again, this is categorically false. She had a mile [sic] case of COVID-19 in March. She was never hospitalized and made a full and quick recovery.

We know that covid can cause long lasting damage, and even some of the so-called asymptomatic victims show lung damage on X-rays, even when they don't have obvious symptoms. This is one nasty little virus.

(6,917 posts)Trump and these people have read too many Hitler speeches and watched Wag the Dog too many times. They have one tacticgaslighting an ignorant public and hoping to make a clean getaway before being fact checked.
Like I said, when the only tool in the toolbox is a hammer then every problem looks like a nail.
But theyve met their match with COVID-19, viruses dont have TVs.

(13,181 posts)Republicans who still insist on stooging for Trump are responsible for the deaths AND slowing down economic recovery. They'd like us to think that they're "only" sacrificing lives to help the economy, but no. They're sacrificing lives because they and Trump screwed the pooch. It's not just callous. It's not just incompetent. It's not just lying, dissembling and knowingly allowing more deaths to hide their guilt. It's all of the above.
