Ben Carson gave the most incredibly ignorant interview on This Week this morning. Basically wash your hands and carry on as usual. Meanwhile, northern Italy is completely shutting down. Carson is like if you’re healthy it won’t kill you. I guess that means go ahead and let the virus proliferate. And Trump is still going to have rallies sending the message that crowded public places are safe.
Everywhere else on the planet is suspending activities to try to contain the virus until we understand it better and hopefully come up with treatments and vaccines. Carson even said we can take the opportunity to learn how viruses are spread as if some aren’t far more contagious than others. And he completely ignores airborne transmission.
