Needless to say, he's a Republican:
Economy uber alles!
He's not the first to come out with comments like this, and I'm sure he won't be the last. Do I need to point out that we're not a forest? These are human lives he's talking about. If we stopped breeding like flies (yes, it turns out he's a forced-birther), our infrastructure wouldn't be under such a strain. (The only life forms that outnumber people on this planet are insects and bacteria. Good company we're keeping.)
Of course, his post (since deleted) was taken "out of context".
In the April 23 post, Antioch planning commissioner chair Ken Turnage II said that coronavirus is like a forest fire that burns “old trees, fallen brush and scrub-shrub sucklings” that drain resources, adding that society will “strengthen” when the pandemic “is all settled.”
“We would have significant loss of life, we would lose many elderly, that would reduce burdens in our defunct Social Security System, health care cost (once the wave subsided), make jobs available for others and it would also free up housing in which we are in dire need of,” Turnage wrote in the post that has since been deleted. “We would lose a large portion of the people with immune and other health complications. I know it would be loved ones as well. But that would once again reduce our impact on medical, jobs, and housing.”
