On Thursday, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said that the global coronavirus death toll could exceed the deaths directly caused by World War II, or 50–56 million people.
Bernie Immediately Goes After Trump
Trying to blame the spread of the virus on President Donald Trump, Sanders said, “We have an administration that is largely incompetent and whose incompetence and recklessness have threatened the lives of many, many people in our country.”
“Cases of coronavirus continues to grow exponentially here in the United States and around the world, and we have witnessed a global economic meltdown which will impact millions of workers in our own country,” Sanders said. “In the terms of potential deaths, in terms of the economic impact on our economy, the crisis we face from the coronavirus is on the scale of major war, and we must act accordingly.”
‘Number of casualties may actually be even higher than what the armed forces experienced in World War II'
“Nobody knows what the number of fatalities may end up being, or the number of people who may get ill and we all hope that that number will be as low as possible, but we also have to face the truth and that is that the number of casualties may actually be even higher than what the armed forces experienced in World War II,” he continued.
Sanders went on, “If our neighbor or co-worker gets sick, we have the potential to become sick. If our neighbor loses his or her job, then our local community suffers, and we may lose our job. We're in this together.”
The self-described socialist also worried about medical experts' capabilities.
“If doctors and nurses and medical personnel do not have the equipment and the training and the capacity they need right now, people may unnecessarily face additional illness and even death,” Sanders said.
“We're all in this together,” Sanders said.
As world leaders deal with the coronavirus menace, it is probably easy to take shots at any of them. A country like Italy is being overwhelmed right now, even though it has the kind of single payer health care system Sen. Sanders wants for the U.S.
If we are truly “all in this together,” perhaps Bernie Sanders should concentrate on being helpful instead of on being partisan.
