Because children don't get this disease?

Or carry it, or give it to their parents and grandparents and siblings?  He doesn't really understand what a disease is, does he?

White House won't modify its SCOTUS push to invalidate ACA, Trump says.

"We're going to replace Obamacare" with something cheaper that also covers preexisting conditions and doesn't have the individual mandate, per WH pooler @toddgillman

Or how we treat diseases; or how must people get their insurance coverage (hint:  you don't have it if you aren't employed, or can't pay for it because you're unemployed.)  And we're gonna replace it before November?  With the House in recess and both Houses in recess in August and then again in October?  Yeah, sure, that'll happen.

President Trump just said that the spike in unemployment due to the pandemic is "artificial". In Wall Street parlance, that's akin to "paper losses"

D'ya hear that, 30 million people?!  You're just "paper losses."  You don't really count as losses!  Enjoy your "paper" unemployment!

Trump says the pandemic “is worse than Pearl Harbor. This is worse than the World Trade Center. And it should have never happened."

Well, he got that much right.

And how often are we gonna have to say this?

The goal of flattening the curve, for the thousandth time, was to avoid swamping the health system. If we're now shifting the argument to "buying time" so we can develop a therapeutic or vaccine, let's say that out loud -- and then let's hear some prospective timelines.

Because pretty much what we're hearing now is:  "Ignore that incoming tidal wave!  Keep dancing!  It's good for the economy!"  And no, I'm not exaggerating:

JOHN ROBERTS: Will the nation just have to accept the idea that by reopening there will be more death?

TRUMP: "We have to be warriors. We can't keep our country closed down for years ... hopefully that won't be the case, John, but it could very well be the case." pic.twitter.com/GgJRW3FX9b
