Some say everyone will get COVID-19 eventually ... particularly if Trump restarts the economy on or around Easter. And, given my risk factors — 81 with hypertension and diabetes — the odds are against my survival. So, has Trump given me a death sentence in order to keep our country from dropping into an economic depression?
Italy is already practicing coronavirus triage ... not offering extreme treatments to those over the age of 60 ... denying them ventilators and respirators. If the United States is overwhelmed with Wuhan flu cases, I suspect the same might happen here ... despite, or maybe because of our aging population (remember Trump, Biden, Pelosi, Sanders and virtually our entire ruling class also fit into this category). And until an effective vaccine is developed and/or treatment cures are found, there is a potential for tens of thousands (or more) deaths of us senior citizens. A sobering thought.
And if this nightmare scenario does come about, who of this older group might be spared? George Soros? Robert De Niro? Warren Buffett? Chuck Schumer? Mike Bloomberg? Joy Bahar? You bet your ass these poobahs will have the means to jump the line ... as will most other qualifying financiers, entertainers and politicians. Or will their altruism take over ... and they will step aside so that our younger generation will be spared because they are the future of our country?
Nah! Don’t be silly!
Are you still happy with Trump? Will your dying wish be, I should have listened to Hillary? Nah. Loyal to the end. Goodbye my friend. Its been a good run. See you on the other side.
ReplyDeleteFor us 70+ folks, it's either a death sentence or being committed to solitary confinement.
ReplyDeleteSince Trump is guilty of everything, I guess he was also the dufus who first ate the bat soup ...
ReplyDeleteRest in Peace, George. Can I have your exercise bike?
ReplyDeleteAren’t you over 60?
ReplyDeleteI don't have the same risk factors that you described above. I plan to endure.
ReplyDeleteI never trusted the Trump to look out for anyone but his own interests. But I kinda feel sorry for the over sixty deplorables who have cheered his antics. He thinks he needs a strong economy to get re-elected and will throw you-all under the bus to achieve that goal. He demands loyalty but it's strictly a one-way street, suckers.
Another cluster for your sniper badge.
ReplyDeleteSo, no exercise bike?
ReplyDeleteYou know ... it doesn’t have a gun mount?
