Alabama GOP Senator Wants ‘More People’ To Contract Coronavirus, But Try Not To Die
Alabama GOP Senator Del Marsh, full name Adelbert Carl Marsh, has suggested a new plan of action for his state and it includes him seeing “more people” contract coronavirus, but trying not to die.
While speaking at a recent press conference, the Republican state senator answered a question regarding his concern of Alabama’s latest surge in cases (2,000 spike in one day); to which he responded, “I’m not as concerned as much with the number of cases. In fact, quite honestly, I wanna see more people because we start reaching an immunity if more people have it and get through it. I don’t want any deaths, as few as possible in the state.”
He continues, “So those people, who are susceptible to the disease, especially more serious, those with preexisting conditions, elderly population, those folks we need to, you know, do all we can to protect them. But I’m not concerned, I want to make sure everybody can receive care. And right now, we have, to my knowledge as of today, we still have ample beds.”
