As the coronavirus continues to spread in the United States, forcing people to stay in their homes and causing an economic downturn, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick joined Tucker Carlson Tonight where he became a top-trending topic by suggesting we get back to our normal lives to save the economy even at great risk to the country’s senior citizens. Patrick, who turns 70 next week, believes it’s up to older Americans to take that risk.

“Tucker, no one reached out to me and said, ‘As a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for your children and grandchildren?’ And if that’s the exchange, I’m all in,” Patrick said, later adding, “My message is, let’s get back to work. Let’s get back to living. Let’s be smart about it, and those of us who are 70-plus, we’ll take care of ourselves.”

So he's ready to sacrifice himself and not take up resources such as medical attention (including a private doctor), a hospital bed or a ventilator?

     Seems like he's another one that thinks only 70 year old's and up can get this.

Isn’t there folks on the Left touting forced abortions to save the environment.  Both, this Lt. Governor, and the wacko environmental leftist are wrong.

Forced abortions are what China did and no reasonable person supports them. They're a human rights violation just as much as denying a woman the right to have an abortion is. The pregnant woman is the only one who gets to decide.
