    I was thinking:
    • India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan
    • Hot-spots in S. America, especially indigenous peoples
    • Africa has some spots ... large, low income cities and urban areas
    • Urban areas of Russia and some East European countries

    I think it means that when this is all over, or at least stabilized, death toll estimates of the outbreak made from retrospective studies of overall deaths compared to other years, or of surviving populations, will find regions hit much worse than the U.S.

    This is when you exercise your 2nd Amendment rights to protect your 1st Amendment rights. Sell your real estate. Have a drink in a bar. Peacefully assemble. If any agent of the government tries to stop you, tell them they are violating your 1st Amendment rights and shoot them. Be sure to bring your well-regulated militia with you.

    I think he hit this nail square on the head -

    "The government has no money. It has to steal everything it gets and since it's in the red, it has to print the $2 trillion out of thin air."

    It doesn't have to do with Covid -19 and my conservative bent probably makes me somewhat agree with that assessment of our government's financial abilities. Think runaway inflation.

    On a different note did you know his son, Rand Paul a Senator from our state -when he has free time - goes throughout our state providing free eye surgeries and medical help to the residents of our state? I don't think there is any danger of the media rushing to report this. He does this every year.

    Rand Paul Performs Free Eye Surgery For Uninsured Patients - ABC News (go.com)

    Also as a personal service and humanitarian act Rand Paul stopped by Congressman Harry Ried's office - a flaming liberal politician- and helped diagnosis an eye problem and direct him to proper treatment (this was years ago)

    Harry Reid thanks Rand Paul for help with eye injury - CNNPolitics

    "I really appreciate it very, very much. I want the people of Kentucky to know how thoughtful and considerate and kind you've been to me over these months," he said.

    "Paul, one of three physicians in the Senate, has been a practicing ophthalmologist for more than two decades and does pro-bono eye surgeries multiple times a year in Kentucky. Last year he traveled to Guatemala to perform surgeries with the Moran Eye Center of Utah."
