I'm a "Good American" so I will never go to the hospital no matter how COVID-y it looks

To be a "Good American", you have to follow the bully pulpit and go along with the Republican POTUS who says coronavirus is a hoax. So no matter how many symptoms of the coronavirus I have or how bad I feel, I will never go to the hospital or get tested.

... I'm actually not a "Good American"

should I go to the emergency room or the va hospital and risk spreading the disease?

I would rather die in my own home, thanks.

you think you need medical intervention, call them first. Many of the severe cases couldn't breathe, that has to be terrifying.

Will not be able to go to the ER. When Mar la go residents start coming down with the virus , or trump properties have virus cases they will prevent anyone else from informing others , and instead he'll hide the truth deceiving even his own people . All he cares about is protecting his profits which he'll fail at that also. People with already serious health issues who have to see doctors often and the older people are at a much greater risk if getting it, if this continues to spread rapidly. What we're seeing trump do is because again he got caught with is pants down , and is lying to the American people trying to excuse away , or blame others for the position he's now in , looking like the fool he is. Putting pence in charge only makes the problems worse , and lessons any confidence in the markets. Sitting for maybe hours in an ER waiting room will not help anyone.

Keep talking Trump. Somehow I think if the MAGTs get sick they will go for help just in case T was talking out his ass again. Surely they know that at the very least 90% of what he says is entertainment for the lack of compassion people.

or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
