Will sick MagaHeads now insist on going to work???

"President Donald Trump suggested during an interview on Fox News Wednesday that many people with mild coronavirus symptoms could still go to work and get better." (J. Harvey, HuffPost)


After Trump's call to Hannity last night, will his fervent supporters insist on going to work when they have flu-like symptoms as an article of faith and loyalty to him and to "stick it to liberals"?


He better walk back last night's nonsense (about going to work sick) immediately or he will be directly responsible for whatever increased outbreak occurs, which could be massive.

While Donny Junior is claiming that Democrats want the virus to spread so they can blame Trump, his daddy is publicly promoting behaviour that will ensure it's spread.

Wash your hands, if not for yourself, but for the safety of others whom you're potentially infecting. Same thing with staying home if you're sick. It's not about you. It's about others.

run rampant in the U.S.?

Timed just perfectly so he shuts the country down so he doesn't have to debate and people can't get out to vote. He can postpone or cancel the election and remain in office - all under the guise of protecting the electorate.

get the red out

To prove their "toughness" and "loyalty". Of course they might not die, or get that sick, but they will probably not mind stopping by to see Grandma in the nursing home either................................

Just like those farmers who abhor WELFARE but couldn't wait for their Trump check for killing their business with worthless tariffs.

stopped before he said people could go to work and be fine.

It seems like a decision was made to not encourage this dangerous idea.

I wonder if Fox is still playing the "go to work" portion.

I'll be watching.

even more than they do already unlike China where employers and employees were encouraged to stay home.
