Ron Johnson, R-Wi:
“Right now, all people are hearing about are the deaths. I’m sure the deaths are horrific, but the flip side of this is the vast majority of people who get coronavirus do survive.
“I’m not denying what a nasty disease COVID-19 can be, and how it’s obviously devastating to somewhere between 1 and 3.4 percent of the population. But that means 97 to 99 percent will get through this and develop immunities and will be able to move beyond this. But we don’t shut down our economy because tens of thousands of people die on the highways. It’s a risk we accept so we can move about. We don’t shut down our economies because tens of thousands of people die from the common flu … getting coronavirus is not a death sentence except for maybe no more than 3.4 percent of our population (and) I think probably far less.”
About 38,000 people die in auto accidents each year. 1 to 3.4 percent of the population of the US is many millions of deaths.
Johnson is a millionaire businessman proving once again that you can make a whole lot of money even if you are barely sentient. Is this a great country or what?
