Suggestion

We shouldn't make fun of individuals or groups that have been exposed to the Coronavirus no matter how odious we find them. It creates negative energy. As much as I despise certain individuals or groups I would never want to see them exposed to a potentially lethal virus.

1. I just want them to have nightmares over the Trump cuts they supported

Hopefully, anyone affected will recover. But while the rest of them wait for their diagnoses, I hope they have nightmares that make them see the light. It's a big ask, I know.

to this threat.

This is karma, and they have it coming.

Maybe the experience will help them understand why science and medicine and a strong national infrastructure is important.

God told the devil he could do whatever he wanted to test Job's belief in him but kill him.

They had no problem lying to the American public as to the risk. They had no problem exposing us to a potentially lethal virus. No problem that the president put every American in danger by calling it a hoax and fake news.

He and his GOPers have refused to tell us the truth. They are denying us test kits. This is widespread and we don't know how bad it is because they refuse to face the truth. 16 Million people are quarantined in Italy. 16 Million! Let that sink in for a moment.

People are dying and this is only the beginning. Sadly the GOP has no problem seeing the rest of us die.
