Ben Carson: ‘Exaggeration’ in Terms of What Happens if You Contract Coronavirus

‘The vast majority of people who actually contract virus are only going to have flu-like symptoms or less’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CARSON:  "There’s no question that we should be informed about how we should manage our own lives.

It’s very important for people to understand that this virus is like other viruses, should be treated the same way. So, we have flu seasons that come up frequently. And there are certain precautions that you take during that time to make sure that you don’t contract a virus.

Bear in mind that there’s a certain segment of our society that’s particularly vulnerable. Those would include people who have underlying medical conditions and elderly, and particularly elderly who have underlying medical conditions.

And so certain precautions should be taken.

If we take those precautions, then we have much more ability to contain the spread of the disease.

Also, it’s very important for people to understand that the vast majority of people who actually contract virus are only going to have flu-like symptoms or less. Many of them will be asymptomatic altogether.

So, there’s a little bit of exaggeration in terms of what happens if you contract the virus.
