Be Afraid of Covid-19
After 210,000 deaths and becoming infected, Trump finally understands Covid-19?
Trump’s closing argument: “Don’t be afraid of COVID.”
Now that Trump is an expert on Covid-19 — not the book-learning kind you get by reading the reports that have been presented to him for months on end — but the kind of REAL education people get — he has an inescapable conclusion.
There’s a million people worldwide, many of whom presented exactly the way Trump presented and who died. Those other million people who didn’t have dozens of doctors, an arsenal of drugs, including a compassionate-use cocktail not available to anyone. Or a helicopter.
“Don’t be afraid” also means don’t be afraid to infect other people — to knowingly travel and campaign and ride with Secret Service agents. So far, at least 30 people have been infected in this debacle.
At some point, the lying White House will not have a choice but that the tick-tock will come out of when they knew and when Trump knew he had been exposed to someone with Covid-19. The answer won’t be pretty.
This “why should you worry when I don’t” theme plays throughout his presidency. Let someone sue to take away his health care and see how he likes it.
