Did his lies about the hoax finally choke him? He's very quiet.

Conservative US radio host Rush Limbaugh compared the novel coronavirus to a common cold," prompting debate over the virus lethality. This is misleading; the strain discovered in late 2019 differs from and is more deadly than the human coronaviruses that can cause a cold, health experts say.
Im dead right on this. The coronavirus is the common cold, folks, Limbaugh said of the novel coronavirus on his show on February 24, 2020. Limbaugh was decrying the virus being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump.
A similar theory took hold on social media in the days following Limbaughs remark, though without any explicit connection to the radio host. Some Facebook users began to share a photo of an old medical textbook citing the common cold as a possible condition caused by coronaviruses.

I will shed no tears for Rush, as I do still for my mother. He did not stop smoking. She did 30 years before her death, but it was the 2nd hand that got her at the casinos she loved gambling in when living in the Reno/Sparks area.

Who cares. Here's how he would handle his own illness
"Rush Limbaugh - He claims to be Pro-Life, but he's dying.
How can we trust someone with such an obvious disconnect in his words and actions? Pay attention people!"
