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
