Trump Reportedly Weighed Letting COVID-19 'Wash Over' U.S., But Was Warned Of Grim Toll ...... * How about that trumptards ?
President
Donald Trump asked his top health adviser last month why officials couldn’t simply let
COVID-19 “
wash over the country,” infecting people, The Washington Post reported Saturday.
In his haste to jumpstart the economy,
Trump posed a frightening scenario to Dr. Anthony Fauci during a task force meeting in the Situation Room. No COVID-19 countermeasures would be taken so that people would quickly become infected, with some recovering to create a protective herd immunity, sources told the newspaper.
“Why don’t we let this wash over the country?” ..... Trump asked, a question others told the Post the president has raised repeatedly in the Oval Office. Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,
realized with surprise that Trump was serious, the Post reported.
“Mr. President,” Fauci responded, according to the Post. “Many people would die.”
NOW LET THAT SINK IN ....
Wants country to completely become infected just to get his agenda moving again. Time to Article 25 , this megalomaniac monster.
He would rather send you , your loved ones , our fellow Americans to their deaths . What kind of fucking president does that ?
When I said he brings DEATH , I wasn’t fucking kidding. He is a stupid , unfeeling menace. Same Herd mentality that his English counterpart BORIS tried to push and karma bit his fat Brit ass.
Trump’s public comments during that time also indicate he was considering such a scenario to get the economy moving again —
despite the toll. He said repeatedly that the “
cure cannot be worse than the problem itself,” implying that saving lives could be less important than saving the economy.
He has claimed without evidence that more people would die from a weak economy than from a pandemic...... this your president you mindless followers... ALTERNATE FACTS.
Last month Texas Lt. Gov.
Dan Patrick on
Fox News, a supportive sounding board for the the president’s policies, also raised the startling fringe notion that “lots of grandparents out there” are
willing to take a chance against COVID-19 to save the economy. Patrick, 70, said he would put his own survival on the line for “keeping the America that all Americans love.”
Another populist leader, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, also early last month raised a “theory” about Britons “
taking it on the chin, take it all in one go and allow the disease ... to move through the population.”
Johnson at that time didn’t think it was such a bad idea for Britons to attend mass sports events. This month Johnson landed in
intensive care after testing positive for COVID-19. He’s no longer in intensive care but
remains hospitalized, He deserved karma.
Johnson enacted
social distancing guidelines later last month after an Imperial College report predicted a
250,000 death toll in Britain — and up to a 1.2 million tally in the U.S. — if strict social distancing and isolation measures weren’t taken.
