They get it and get sick

Some VERY sick

So they may not die in the same numbers as older people but a lot of the under 30 crowd still needs medical care. They should be denied care if they are so cavalier about the virus. They have no right to ignore all safety concerns then place health care workers at risk to heal them from their stupidity.

600 health care workers have died already. So if these “young invincibles” act irresponsibly then they don’t get to place health care workers at risk.

Maher is wrong on this. Dead wrong.
