New York Post ^ | March 19, 2020

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton tested positive for coronavirus, Payton told ESPN.

Payton is the first known person within the NFL to test positive for the virus. The 56-year-old received the result Thursday after taking the exam Monday. He’s experiencing fatigue at home but doesn’t have a fever or cough.

“This is not just about social distancing,” Payton told ESPN. “It’s shutting down here for a week to two weeks. If people understand the curve, and understand the bump, we can easily work together as a country to reduce it. Take a minute to understand what the experts are saying. It’s not complicated to do what they’re asking of us.

Oh, he’s advising everyone to stay home? I heard he was at the horse races at Oaklawn. Stay home, indeed.

Just stay away from the Chiefs, dude.

Whining and complaining doesn’t prevent getting COVID-19?

He was heard to say he’s putting a bounty on corona to wipe it out for good.

And that’s the truth about communism and socialism...

Only the people at the top get preferential treatment. They are among the few to get cars to drive on the manicured roads. They get the single-family homes while the rest get identical cold, lifeless apartments and meaningless jobs.

In Capitalism, if you don’t perform, you get fired. In socialism and communism you don’t get fired, you go to a labor camp with your relatives, or in the best case scenario you get executed.

This is why liberals and most conservative politicians jockey for a seat at the table. Even in communism and socialism the Bourgeois get privilege while the Proletariat suffer. Who has the vacation homes? Not the workers but the leaders.
