Congratulations, you just discovered "Politics". You'll notice he used the technical term "Co-Morbidities", which someone with a brain will understand, but most people won't. You HAVE to tell them "Don't do X, Y and Z - JUST DON'T!". Explaining why is lost on them and just confuses the issue. But people who seek to undermine you or your message will focus in on and draw out the kind of details ("Co-Morbidity") that alienate a majority of the population. Injecting themselves as competing authority figures and drawing out an unrelated argument over semantics.  Semantics are the death of any message. This is why Trump doesn't get drawn into using technical terms when he speaks. And this is why this guy was attacked by the liberal media gatekeepers because he used simple nigger-tier language* to warn his community that they were putting themselves at risk. They don't like politicians cutting past them, as the gatekeeping middle men, to the population at large. It cuts them out of the power loop. So in retaliation they attack his choice of language even though, as he explains, it was the best and safest and most effective choice (which NPR et al understand of course - they just don't fucking care, because it's really about protecting their own power and influence). *Remember that scene in Airplane! where the little old lady is asked to translate a warning to the big black guys in "Jive" talk? This is EXACTLY what's going on here. Except there's now an attention seeking SJW in the next seat clutching Xer pearls and having a fake fit of the vapors because nobody asked them to play go-between - even though they have nothing to contribute and in fact will make communication harder and put more people at risk.
