oronavirus just killed commonsense. I sat, open-mouthed, as I watched in disbelief. A Georgia resident and retiree,
Clay Bentley, said he went to the hospital after
feeling sick. The only thing they asked was if he’d been out of the country. He hadn’t... So in spite of having the signs and symptoms,
“You all sent me home to die,” he told the hospital staff. Once readmitted, they finally tested him for coronavirus, and he had it – along with double pneumonia. This kind of oversight kills me. But that’s why, at Retirement Millionaire , I’ve worked for decades to empower people to take control of their health and wealth. I’m predicting that with this kind of stupidity, the virus will infect 50% of Americans in the next four weeks. And that’s going to be the hardest part... It will happen quickly. The bad news is that we trusted the government to properly prepare for something like this. I’ve read that there is only a one-day supply of the N95 masks needed for health care workers. The speed at which this virus will spread will overwhelm Customs agents. And as he entered the U.S., he was only asked three questions: • How long was your trip? • Where are you headed? • Where do you live? There was zero mention of coronavirus.

“You all sent me home to die,” he told the hospital staff. Once readmitted, they finally tested him for coronavirus, and he had it – along with double pneumonia. Here’s the worst part: They missed the fact that Clay’s wife is a flight attendant. Though she doesn’t fly out of the country, airplanes are flying petri dishes. Chances are high that she got it from a passenger and passed it on to Clay. The next day, I heard from one of our editorial staff, Brady, who returned to the U.S. from vacation in Anzio, just outside Rome. He said that the airport in Rome was packed tightly, ignoring the “stay one meter apart” rule the Italian government is pushing. When he arrived in Newark, conditions were even worse. Passengers were packed into tight, snaking lines as they waited for their turn getting through customs. Officials didn’t take Brady’s temperature at all... Not by the Italians, not the U.S.
