EDITOR:

At some date, the Trump administration is going to tell us to go back to work. And after that date, some person will die of COVID-19. The mainstream media, and by that, I mean CNN, MSNBC, and similar, will blame Trump. They will say that he was the cause of that death. They will say Trump “has blood on his hands.” Actresses will condemn him.

Predictably, they will say that his decision was “dollars versus lives.” These media outlets already have these “stories” written. They have left blanks for the name of the patient and his city and state.

But this is false. It’s not “dollars versus lives;” it’s lives versus lives. Unemployment and poverty cause death. Unemployment, malnutrition, and depression, all cause death.

Please don’t be fooled by the evil media.
