Who knows, this may become a grim silver-lining.

I think there's nothing like a massive public health event to convince folks of the wisdom of the "socialization" of certain aspects of a civilized society.

Maybe the taint comes off of the dreaded "S word"?

2. Are you counting on...

3. Not a chance

Our health system in general is already overwhelmed. If every person was insured and a massive infectious outbreak occurred it would overwhelm every hospitals resources and help spread the virus faster. Doesn’t matter if everyone is insured or isn’t, if a massive outbreak occurred our health care system could not handle the inundation of patients.

I mean at my hospital today we are in Code ABC for all floors which means all bed crisis, no beds are available with an inundated ER. And I work at a large hospital.

6. No.

People would rather die than accept "socialism" (which the Right is selling as "communism" ). They would also rather have their children and grandchildren die. #NoSocialism

7. Can we remind them that our highways, fire depts. and such are also socialism?

We'll need a wall to keep the MAGAts in.
