I PREDICTED THIS. IT SHOWS HOW BROKEN THE HEALTH SYSTEM IS. WE HAVE MANY IMMIGRANTS WITHOUT ACCESS TO THE HEALTH SYSTEM. THEY KEEP TRANSFERING THE VIRUS UNTIL THEY CAN'T MOVE ANYMORE. WELL, A LITTLE THING ALWAYS COSTS A LOT.

Weak people find it difficult to breathe faster because of the corona virus-polluted atmosphere. So eat clean and stay clean. Thank you
