is that when Mitch was young he was afflicted with the polio virus and his left leg was paralyzed. He received treatment at the Warm Springs rehab center that FDR also used. One might think that after being a victim of a virus that he would have more compassion to those current victims of a virus.

Well shit, if an entire family is sick, can't be reached or under stay home rules, how the heck can they claim the bodies. I am not sure what to believe now.

that the victims are probably those without family support of any sort. Would it be incorrect to assume that a sizable proportion of them are homeless?
