'It affects virtually nobody': Trump downplays virus threat to young people

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump claimed Monday at an Ohio campaign rally that the coronavirus poses little threat to young people and “affects virtually nobody,” as the number of Americans to have died from Covid-19 climbed toward 200,000 in the United States.

“It affects elderly people. Elderly people with heart problems and other problems. If they have other problems, that’s what it really affects,” Trump told supporters at an airport outside Toledo.

“That’s it. You know, in some states, thousands of people, nobody young. Below the age of 18, like, nobody,” he continued. “They have a strong immune system, who knows. You look — take your hat off to the young, because they have a hell of an immune system. But it affects virtually nobody. It’s an amazing thing.”

“By the way, open your schools, everybody,” Trump added. “Open your schools.”

5. Is it wrong that I am hoping that Trump gets the virus?

Maybe then and only then will he start taking it seriously.
