If he’s gets severe viral pneumonia of both lungs how about he is refused treatment. I mean, it just the flu.

Of course, as I liberal I do not believe that.

But Lock Him Up!

He felt bad enough or was worried enough to go to a healthcare facility, by some miracle they tested him despite the fact that he obviously wasn't sick enough to be hospitalized, and he's all like, "Oh, okay. That explains why I feel shitty. Well, back to work I go!"
