Of the 14 Senators under 50, ten are repubs. And of the 27 Senators over 70, 16 are Democrats.

There are plenty of those 43 in their 60’s and 70’s which is higher risk.

I don’t count up Dems because of COURSE they wish to intervene and force Trump to protect the American people. They need these GOP to force the issue with Trump the way they did in presidential war powers vote.

So while a couple of commenters are celebrating that 43 of 53 repubs are at a risk of dying from the virus, they should also recognize that 43 out of 47 Democrats fall in that same category.

Even if it was bio warfare(I realize that is a ridiculous rumor), they never would have let Trump in on it beforehand.
