Fox News host Pete Hegseth has some great advice for people who care more about opening restaurants than staying alive.
Appearing from the safety of his own home, Hegseth told viewers:

What Hegseth fails to mention is that the process of a population developing herd immunity would involve millions of avoidable deaths.
