CNN:

21 year old had mild case of Corona virus, Then Suffered Major Organ Failure.

This is the tip of the iceberg.

Hundreds of thousands will die for their pre-existing conditions due to this virus. Something Obamacare covered and trump just lies about.

This could completely overwhelm our healthcare system. We are woefully unprepared.

A completely overwhelmed medical community will be hit very soon with this crisis.

The medical community and our first responders are being crushed now. How can medical crews treat hundreds of thousands with COVID aftermath and cancer patients too.

We are overwhelmed and we are told it will all go away.

It only took him three and a half years to do so.

We deny climate, equality, education, science, the Constitution...the rule of law.

Cheers, everyone.

Sadly, many of those predate Trump. He's a symptom of the current GOP problem, but when he's gone they won't be healed. He just started saying things in public they only whistled about before, then he took it mainstream. Now here we are. A shithole country with zero international respect. That is unless you consider the Saudi's and Russian respect of Trump a good thing.

13. Agree. We have no idea what manifests or exacerbates the severity of this virus in certain people.

He was just on aftet the 21 year old. He said that 75% of dead people had Covid? I was only half listening but that turned my head. Did anyone pay better attention than I did and can fill me in?

Dumpy lies whenever he speaks.

It’s what conmen do, tell people what they want to hear.

9. I believe this is why many teams are backing off.

Especially the young college athletes. Many have tested positive and I am pretty sure they know what that means about their future. They play now, they may never have the stamina, heart, kidney or liver function to compete or to play again. They may never be able to walk a mile let alone run down the field.

It also shows his complete lack of humanity for these teams and the kids he is forcing back to school when it is not safe for any of them. Sure, they may survive the virus, yet will not survive the long term after effects.

He cares about money and his re election, nothing else.

PS. Where is his healthcare plan that he promises that will miraculously appear in two weeks and two weeks and then two more weeks. F HIM!

He went to high school about a half mile from my house. Scary stuff.
