Senior citizens would rather die than see the country's economy ruined for their grandchildren, says Texas lieutenant governor amid outcry at Trump's promise to get America 'open for business'
Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, 69, urged America to open for business
He suggested he would rather perish than see the economy destroyed for his grandchildren during an interview on Fox News' Tucker Carlson Monday night
Patrick, who falls into the high risk category of catching the disease, says he and other 70+ citizens 'will take care of ourselves'
He said 'I'm all in' when asked to risk survival to keep American running
His comments come after Trump said he wanted re-open businesses in a matter of weeks - not months
Patrick's points contradict public health officials who suggest self-isolation and a lockdown to last several weeks
Texas has more than 350 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and nine deaths
This is a direct assault on middle class and small-medium businesses. Large corporation already have the checks in the mail while small business will have to navigate a lenghty bureaucratic process.
Viruses will always exist and they're purpose is to kill the weak when there is an overpopulation, unless that virus is not natural? This whole thing dont make any sense at all, its 100% fear-mongering.
