There’s a crime called Depraved Indifference. Look it up: under New York law it’s 2nd-degree murder. Basically it means that your reckless failure to acknowledge risks caused someone to die.
Trump spent precious weeks pooh-poohing the coronavirus threat for political advantage. The Fox News talking heads called it a hoax. There are many stories of people who couldn’t get their elderly relatives to take precautions because Sean Hannity told them not to worry. All over the Internet, people are saying that Fox is responsible for many deaths.
This goes way beyond simple negligence. This is murder. I expect a rash of Wrongful Death lawsuits by bereaved relatives to start 10…9…8…7…
Meanwhile, prosecutors should be looking into this!
