Matt Gaetz made light of coronavirus by wearing a gas mask. Now one of his constituents has died.

Politicians should be extremely careful when it comes to making fun of this virus or the response to this virus. Or else you might end up looking like an incompetent and callous *******, just like Matt Gaetz here.

 

Or, you might personally get affected by the virus, like this *******.

Congressman Who Mocked Emergency Coronavirus Bill Goes Into Self-Quarantine

Also, it should be noted that his cost per patient has dropped to 1,557,443 per patient now that ~545 patients are confirmed as infected.

 

He's kind of a grandstanding tool looking for notice. He delivers some good content at times, but this crap should not have happened.

 

Gaetz is a giant tool and probably came directly out of Donald Trump's butt, which is where he's been trying to get his head back to ever since the impeachment inquiry. I hope his constituents remember that he made light of them when it comes time to vote.

 

We have no sense of humor anymore.

Everyone competes to see who can be the most offended or the most damaged victim.

Americans have the thinnest skin on the planet.

 

Americans also have the highest COVID-19 mortality rate currently.



To be fair, this chart is now a full two DAYS old. The current mortality rate for the United States is 4.03% (still the highest)

 

The first incident of the virus was in a busing home in Washington state. What do we find in a nursing home? Old people!

Do you think that skewed the numbers? Maybe just a bit. That’s not Trump’s fault.

Drop the “orange man bad” act.

 

Alert:

Many people died from common colds today

 

Let’s not forget this years flu

 

That's one of the first known incident of the virus because it was undeniable and thus the place where the tests were first used.

 

And the reasoning here is..."people die by other means, so don't worry about a novel virus that is also killing people?"

 

How many died from the Flu in Florida?

 

Did Matt Gaetz make fun for the flu too!?

 

Do you know anything about Corona-19?

Its very similar to.....Influenza.... Same symptoms.. Same treatment...

 

If Matt Gaetz doesn't feel like the common flu and the deaths we see every year from it were worth mocking, why then would he choose to mock a disease with an even higher mortality rate than the flus we see every year?

Because he's a tool.

 

So Matt Gaetz wore a gas mask while signing an emergency funding bill to address Influenza too!?!

 

He is mocking the panic not people dying ffs.

 

Remember the old joke about having an airport above you head?

 

who knows, maybe Matt G will be the sole survivor of this crisis and end up our next president.

could be a genius move!

 

Yea, that's a ****ing dumb thing to do when your constituents are ****ING DYING.

 

Where was the emergency funding for the 20k people that died from the Flu?

Or just admit you are outraged because it fits your agenda.

If i debated like you i would say something like

" You are DANCING on the GRAVES of 20,000 PEOPLE"!!!!!

But I'm not like you.

 

Mocking the panic mocks those who die from the disease because it implies that the disease is a trivial issue that we shouldn't worry about. It also mocks the precautions people can take to help keep them safe.

Florida voters are going to remember his immature stunt when the death toll in that state is higher.

 

No it mocks the panic....

I'm in Florida....

 

The flu is not a novel virus for which there is no known vaccine, antiviral, or antibody. It is already covered by billions in funding and hundreds of millions of vaccines made every year and the number killed this year is totally in line with previous years of influenza.

Matt Gaetz made fun of the panic from a novel virus from which there is no known vaccine, antiviral, or antibody. It was not covered by any money or any vaccine and the numbers killed this year are the first time that anyone has been killed by the virus.

Matt Gaetz wore a ****ing gas mask to make a political stunt and now one of his constituents has died.

 

And yet people are treated and recover just as if they had the flu... they might not be isolated agreed( if they have the Flu) but outside of that the treatment is the same.

Thanks for admitting he was mocking the panic and not the virus itself..
