The San Francisco woman who offered a pointed critique of President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic during the Democratic National Convention is clapping back at the president's remarks that the virus "affects virtually nobody."
He made the comments during a campaign rally Monday night in Ohio.
The president continued: "It affects elderly people, elderly people with heart problems and other problems. If they have other problems, that's what it really affects. That's it. You know, In some states, thousands of people, nobody young. Below the age of 18, like, nobody. They have a strong immune system, who knows? You look. Take your hat off to the young, because they have a hell of an immune system. But it affects virtually nobody. It's an amazing thing."
