Coronavirus has been a disease of the elites!
Pandemic Historian: Frank Snowden, ‘Coronavirus a Disease of Globalization’.......

Frank Snowden — a historian details how the coronavirus pandemic is threatening the globalist worldview of free movement of people and free trade.
Globalization, Snowden notes, has driven the coronavirus to majorly impact the wealthiest of Americans.
“Respiratory viruses, Mr. Snowden says, tend to be socially indiscriminate in whom they infect. Yet because of its origins in the vectors of globalization, the coronavirus appears to have affected the elite in a high-profile way,” the Journal piece states. “From Tom Hanks to Boris Johnson, people who travel frequently or are in touch with travelers have been among the first to get infected.”
The infection of thousands of the nation’s rich and upper-middle-class has driven class warfare in regions like the Hamptons in New York where some of the wealthiest, most liberal celebrities own property.
A report by Maureen Callahan for the New York Post chronicles how the working class staff of the Hamptons’ elite are turning on them as those infected disregard rules and Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines:
“There’s not a vegetable to be found in this town right now,” says one resident of Springs, a working-class pocket of East Hampton. “It’s these elitist people who think they don’t have to follow the rules.” [Emphasis added]
It’s not just the drastic food shortage out here. Every aspect of life, “most crucially medical care”, is under strain from the sudden influx of rich Manhattanites panic-fleeing … — and in some cases, knowingly bringing coronavirus. [Emphasis added]
“We’re at the end of Long Island, the tip, and waves of people are bringing this s–t,” says lifelong Montauker James Katsipis. “We should blow up the bridges. Don’t let them in.” [Emphasis added]
While globalization has delivered soaring profits for corporate executives, working- and middle-class American communities have been left behind to grapple with fewer jobs, less industry, stagnant wages, and increase competition in the labor market due to decades-long mass legal immigration.
Since 2001, free trade with China has cost millions of Americans their jobs. For example, the Economic Policy Institute has found that from 2001 to 2015, about 3.4 million U.S. jobs were lost due to the nation’s trade deficit with China.
Of the 3.4 million U.S. jobs lost in that time period, about 2.6 million were lost in the manufacturing industry, making up about three-fourths of the loss of jobs from the U.S.-Chinese trade deficit.
This article alerts us to how many of our elites have been stricken with the CV, tested, treated and discharged while their internet thugs have been blaming Trump for everything.
So, we would then be distracted with their internet thugs’ bs while their elite masters, who got the CV, were tested, treated and discharged.
Meanwhile, we were unable to even get tested, and possible treatments have treated like poison pills for the non elites/us!
How many of these elites with Corona Virus got that treatment and are now virus free?

Go visit your brother, give him a big ol’ hug, and kiss both cheeks!
I can’t imagine social distancing is a problem for this guy. Anyway, I hope he recovers completely.
Better he has mild or no symptoms to prove this is all about nothing for most infected.
A prayer for his health.
F him. No sympathy for leftards .
I doubt that will do anything for the true believers who are convinced that this is the greatest threat mankind has ever faced, and that any and all un-Constitutional and insane mitigation measures are completely justified and should not be questioned, ever...
Fredo will drama queen this for three weeks. Then he will wear it like a badge for the rest of the year.
I have been tested because I work in a hospital ER and have been exposed on four occasions to Covid-19. I tested positive but ‘’asymptomatic’’, I have no symptoms and I was told by the doctors that I have ‘’strong antibodies’’ and may, in fact, be able to help develop either a vaccine and or a cure .
Note the weaselly way this is worded.
Shocking that celebrities and heads of state are "high-profile".
Are elites affected more often or more severely? No one knows because we don't have the data.
Of course that doesn't stop Breitbart from pulling their usual resentment and victimization cards.
What a vacuous article.
That’s what happened to my neighbor BUT worse. He had the chest pains and tested POSITIVR and was sent home because the hospital did not have any respirators left.
In other words he was left to die in his own apt.
Miraculously he was so tired he just slept...for 5 days. The 6th day the fever broke. And he simply showered.
The time i saw him on Saturday he was smoking like nothing happened. Tested negative on Saturday morning and the docs told him he may be immune to it now ..
Trump’s fault...
I've found that sleep is the best weapon against a bad flu.
Chris said he feels fine. So why did he get tested?
Oh noes! Not Fredo!
