What started out as a distasteful joke among millennials about surviving the Bird Flu and Ebola has now turned into a worldwide health crisis as the fatal new coronavirus continues to sweep around the globe leaving death and tragedy in its wake.

The deadly COVID-19 virus has now touched all four corners of the earth with massive outbreaks in several different countries, including now two deaths from the disease in the United States — still with no real solution to the lethal issue.

Scientists and experts are still, at the very least, a year away from a vaccine for coronavirus, and the Wolrd Health Organization (W.H.O.) along with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have warned that the disease is now verging on a global pandemic.

But when it comes to Donald Trump, he still thinks it’s all a joke.

Ultimately, Trump is a whole lot less interested in the thousands of lives lost and the millions more at risk of meeting the same fate — and far more interested in the effect that this pesky little global outbreak is going to have on his presidential campaign — especially now that the inflated stock market he’s so proud of is seeing record-breaking nose dives as the disease continues to spread.

Suffice it to say, he definitely doesn’t have the wiggle room to be missing any of those MAGA rallies — to Hell with the fact that packed arenas full of people who’ve likely not properly washed their hands in a month of Sundays are a picture-perfect coronavirus breeding ground if ever there were one.

Trump found himself questioned by a reported in the Oval Office today as to whether he would continue with his plans to hold reelection MAGA rallies amid the massive outbreak that now seems to be susceptible to community transmission.

“Is it safe or appropriate to hold rallies during a public health crisis?” the reporter questioned him.

“Well, these were set up a long time ago and others are — I mean, you could ask that to the Democrats because they’re having a lot of rallies,” Trump responded, because we can’t have a public speaking event without Donald bringing up the Democrats, right?

“Is it safe?” the reporter doubled down.

“I think it’s very safe,” Donald proclaimed.

Go ahead, Donnie. Let the Coronavirus do the hard work for us.
