With respect to what Trump said about college/professional football in New Hampshire today, I& #39;m certain he had no idea he was speaking in a state whose largest number of COVID-19 cases in absolute terms is persons aged 20 to 29. The good news for him—the crowd didn& #39;t know either.
PS/ Because he has the emotional acuity of a child, Trump was speaking only of deaths—which of course *do* skew dramatically toward older persons. But teams/fans must think about player *safety*—not simply player death—and we *still do not know* the long-term effects of COVID-19.
PS2/ I& #39;m amazed that more people don& #39;t call out how insane it is for Trump to pretend that getting sick for 1 to 3 months—sicker than you& #39;ve ever been in your life—then possibly having long-term health effects that will debilitate you years in the future... somehow doesn& #39;t count?
PS3/ This is not to mention those "long haul" COVID-19 patients who continue to experience significantly debilitating symptoms of the virus for *many* months after they are no longer considered "ill."
How easily Trump disregards the suffering of many tens of thousands of people.
