True, but he does have a very serious condition.

There is one thing that I'd like to point out. And I know I'll get downvotes because of how we all think about Covid here (and trust me, I'm on the same page as all of you: that it's super overblown, not a major deal, and being used to control us, etc, but...), but just hear me out:

My brother is a doctor. He specifically was working in a hospital in NYC when covid was really tearing through NYC. He doesn't work in a hospital anymore (and didn't then), but was needed at that time because of how bad numbers got in NYC. In any case, he, too, is on the same page as us. BUT, he's an oncologist, so even during most of the pandemic, he's been working at his main practice and with his primary cancer clients. He's told me that, while people like himself and I really have nothing to worry about, corona is pretty much a death sentence for those with any serious cancer diagnosis. It's a real threat for anyone with cancer, so I really hope Rush is at least being careful in that respect, and not taking the attitude that a lot of us conservatives are (rightfully and rationally) taking w/ covid. He's not in the same situation as us, so he really should be taking proper precautions to not expose himself and put himself at risk too much. We want Rush to have the best chance possible at overcoming this!

Yeah, my dad has stage 4 cancer and we’ve actually had to do everything preventative possible. Except we would be wearing masks and disinfecting every surface constantly even if covid wasn’t a thing.
