Rand Paul says COVID-19 is following a "relatively benign course." Would you want him as your personal physician?

80,000 dead in two months, heading toward 200,000 at least by election day. Is that "benign," when the right is arguing that losing 12,000 in 2009 was a catastrophe?
' Paul, who contracted the coronavirus last month, insisted that "outside of New England," the country had seen a "relatively benign course for this virus" — even though New York, which is not in New England, has long been the epicenter of the nation's outbreak. '

The USA has more deaths than the next two countries combined.  If that's "benign", I wonder what "serious" would be like.

Absolutely not. He's a bit of a quack and would probably take 'liberties' with my health LOL.

Rand Paul is an Ophthalmologist, not an Epidemiologist, so it is outside of his field of expertise.  SARS-CoV-2 has not been anywhere near as contagious as say Ebola Zaire for example.  If he was a Gynecologist like his dad we could make bad jokes about him representing KY but I suppose we can still make fun of his poodle hair-do.

Relative to what? From what I can tell, he just compared it to New York, which isn't really useful.
