That means 20% do need medical help. That's the problem.
Of course, the Dems will always try to take advantage of a crisis.
On the other hand, this crisis bolsters Trump's arguments for protected borders and bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., for example.
When we recognize that this new virus is a serious matter, we can point to those issues. We can point out why caution is needed in immigration. We can point to the limited supplies available in the U.S. and make an argument for more production here. And so on.
So we focus on that class, mainly the aged (I am almost 68) and infirm and do the mask route for the rest as the go about their business, in the interest of the long term.
On the other hand, this crisis bolsters Trump's arguments for protected borders and bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., for example.
Consider the paradox. Conservative argue for border restrictions due to criminals and un vetted persons causing bodily harm, spreading disease and or burdening the system, while liberals espouse open borders, and protest the separation of children from parents who are caught illegally entering the country, and attack the President for now helping the most vulnerable.
But liberals do not favor allowing open "freedom of entry" into society of the most vulnerable if "border control" wants to kill them, that is via abortion, and justify such "terminations" by arguing such would be an unnecessary and unwelcome burden.
And when Americans foreigners do present a danger to society (if infected with a disease an est. 80% recover from without medical help) then they quarantine households, shutdown entire cities.
