    This story stinks on ice.

    Another credulous oldster.

    Combat triage. Trump declared this a war and himself a Wartime President. Losses are expected and sacrifices have to be made.

    Why? Do you think doctors would see your swastika tattoos and put you in the "can't be saved" group?

    I'm calling bullshit on this story. It looks like an uncorroborated appeal to emotion that is nothing more than gossip.

    If you and Yank want to console each other, please get a room.

    Time will tell. New Orleans is seeing a leap in cases. Let's see if beta males figure out the math of "X cases needing ventilators - Y ventilators = Z cases without ventilators".

    Who is they? Why do "they" want to kill billions of people? You know most of those people live in Third World Shitholes, right? Is it Trump you are talking about?

    You're a complete retard if you think Spanish-language outlets aren't covering the coronavirus. Are you seriously that fucking stupid? In New York City, you probably have just about every other language covered as well. What, illegal immigrants are too stupid to follow the news? Fucking liberals are the biggest bigots in the fucking world. I bet you believe black people are too stupid to get ID as well. Amirite?

    You must be having a bad day tossing out sexual insults like your fellow lib Domer.

    I also see that your reading comprehension hasn't improved.

    Clearly, DU doesn't understand that triage in this type situation isn't the same as how things would be done otherwise.

    Your defense of the Brit cocksucker is noted as well as another lie from you. Remember when you claimed you don't lie? You were lying.
