Initially I'd heard last night from my wife that Hope Hicks had tested positive and that Our Beloved Leader was going in to isolation.
I wish a rapid and full recovery.
Oh, wait.
I said that wrong.
I wish him a slow and very painful recovery.
I don't want him to die. I want him to suffer. He's responsible for an insane number of preventable American deaths. We've had a minimum of four times as many deaths due to COVID as we should have because he didn't follow the advice of the CDC, NIH, and other groups of scientists. He didn't distribute PPE. He's consistently downplayed the threat of this virus and set a bad example by never wearing a mask until the last month or so and has now only worn it sporadically. His kids ignored the suggestions of the doctors at the debate and removed their masks when seated in the audience. Granted, they were seated at socially-distanced intervals. Still, examples matter.
I want the ass to suffer. He and his party, which he is the head of, want to destroy affordable health care in this country. He wants to destroy the right of people with pre-existing conditions to affordable health care.
I am among those people. A lot of you people reading this post are among those people. Do you have high blood pressure? Pre-existing condition. Diabetic? Pre-existing condition. Migraines? Could be classed as such. Asthma? Welcome to the club! Cancer survivor? Pick up your t-shirt at the table on the right, the web site is printed on the back.
Tons of stuff can get you labeled as pre-existing condition.
My antibody meds? My previous specialty pharmacy billed my medical insurance over A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FOR THEM. Now, the negotiated payment was far lower, but that's what they billed. If I had to pay cash, it would be over $10k a month. And I would be a proverbial boy in a bubble, unable to lead a fairly normal life.
No, I want President Donald J. Trump to know suffering. I want him to be a COVID Long-Hauler. Wouldn't bother me in the least if some of his adult idiot children also got it and became long-haulers.
I want him to know some of the pain that he has caused the family and friends of the 200,000+ people who have died of this virus, and of the people with pre-existing medical conditions who live in fear of losing their health insurance. We don't want to Die for the DOW, which seems to be the game plan for the RNC. As long as they continue to make money, they don't give a damn who lives and who dies.
