The wealthy are bracing for a deadly coronavirus outbreak.
The new virus comes from a large family of what are known as coronaviruses, some causing nothing worse than a cold. It causes cold- and flu-like symptoms, including cough and fever and, in more severe case, shortness of breath. It can worsen to pneumonia, which can be fatal.
Tim Kruse, a doctor who makes house calls in Aspen, Colo., said “the wealthy aren’t going to necessarily have access to things that the common person is not going to have access to.” But that hasn’t stopped them from asking if they can get their hands on a coronavirus vaccine. “The answer is no. They just want to know.”Confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide have passed 88,000, and more than 2,900 people have died.
“This is going to destroy the marriages of the rich. All these husbands and wives who travel will now have to spend time with the person they’re married to.”“I don’t feel concerned at the moment — it’s not near me right now,” Stevenson said. “If people in the village have coronavirus, I’d get out of here.” He’d fly to Idaho and close himself off in a cabin, he said, and his family could join him if they wanted. “That becomes a personal choice of theirs.
Trump has predicted the virus will disappear “like a miracle,” while Democrats outlined demands for funding that included a guarantee of an affordable vaccine. Face masks don’t effectively prevent members of the general public from catching coronavirus, according to U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams, but healthcare providers could be at risk if they can’t get them.
