A Coronavirus Exercise

So, from what I've seen and read, about 95% of the people who are infected with this virus survive, 5% die.

Another 10-15% will have permanent chronic health problems for the rest of their lives.

I sat down and wrote out a list of 100 of my family and friends.

Then, I picked 5 people from my list that I would be willing to see suffer an agonizing, slow, solitary death so that I could get a haircut and a hamburger.

Then I picked another 15 from my list that I would be willing to see suffer chronic health problems for the rest of their lives so I could get some beef fajitas and a beer.

That is what the Retrumplicans are asking us to do.

Try it.

Because the people who don’t die or get sick themselves are still likely to lose people that matter to them
