Dr Rochelle Walensky @CDCDirector said on @GMA "the overwhelming number of death [sic] over 75% occurred in people who had at least 4 comorbidities, so really these are people who were unwell to begin with, and yes really encouraging news..."
I have 4+ comorbidities that I live with daily. Does the @CDC think that #ChronicIllness means practically worthless? I hear an echo of Scrooge in Dickens' A Christmas Carol, "If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population..."
Dr Walensky, I know I'm no longer as vital a contributor to the #GNP than I once was, that I am more liability than asset in your ledger, but I still contribute to the emotional and spiritual richness of our society by my actions and even by my needs being met by those around me

'If they would rather die,' said Scrooge, 'they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population. Besides--excuse me--I don't know that.'" open-bks.com/library/classi…
