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

Update:

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.
