    If Trump won the 2020 election then Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election. Just do not tell Trump.
    One nice thing about this plague is that it will either kill you if your not vaccinate or at the least make you swear that God has curse you for being so stupid when you survive the Hell your body will go thru for not being vaccinate.
    For graveyards and the diggers this is a God send. It keeps diggers on payroll and even that extra overtime pay helps at the end of the year.
    I wonder how many hospitals are taking advantage of these deaths by harvesting the organs. Morbid yes, but to let a human body go to wastes is a just plain un-American.
    How many people will live a lot longer with these body parts.
    I do understand that the body so infected the body temperature goes up to the point it destroy body organs, but still not all organs are effected by the high temperature.
