I was today years old when I learned that the Americans call refrigerators with side-by-side doors "french door refrigerators."
Guys... In France we literally call them "American refrigerators."
Trump isn't a problem; he's a symptom of a problem. COVID-19 isn't a problem; it's a symptom of a problem. Climate change isn't a problem; it's a symptom of a problem. Racism isn't a problem; it's a symptom of a problem.
It's amazing how a single problem, #capitalism, can have so many symptoms. It's time to cure the problem.

Even though Trump's age puts him in a higher risk category for both hospitalization and death, people still have to realize that the percentages in those categories still aren't very high. Trump may come out of this thinking COVID-19 is no worse than the flu, and set policy based on that.
People also have to realize that mortality numbers are skewed higher due to the vast majority of people are unable to afford timely care.
