Dr. Saju Mathew Says that the Only Way Back to Normalcy ‘Is To Forget About Christmas This Year’
RUSH EXCERPT:
MATHEW: “You know, Brianna, I just feel like people have given up. We are talking about approaching the Spanish flu pandemic numbers. This last week I have diagnosed eight people in the aftermath of Thanksgiving where the entire family is infected. A 19-year-old boy came back from college, the father gets sick two days later, the mother three days later, and the mother-in-law now being admitted to the hospital who is 90 years old. These are people that don’t have to fall sick. Brianna, these are people that don’t have to die. We are talking 3 to 4,000 deaths in December and over a half million deaths by March of next year. I still think that we need to really look back and say listen, how important is it for us to get back to normalcy. And the only way to do that is to forget about Christmas this year, to forget about new year’s next year, focus on the task ahead which is hunkering down, waiting for vaccines to come, and wearing that mask.”
