Public health experts had hoped that President Trump, chastened by his own infection with the coronavirus and the cases that have erupted among his staff, would act decisively to persuade his supporters that wearing masks and social distancing were essential to protecting themselves and their loved ones.

But instead, tweeting on Monday from the military hospital where he has been receiving state-of-the-art treatment for Covid-19, the president yet again downplayed the deadly threat of the virus.

“Don’t be afraid of Covid,” he wrote. “Don’t let it dominate your life.” When he arrived at the White House a few hours later, Mr. Trump removed his mask before joining several masked people inside. The president was probably still contagious, as many patients can pass on the virus for up to 10 days after symptoms begin.

Scientists, ethicists and doctors were outraged by the president’s comments about a disease that has killed nearly 210,000 people in the United States.

4. The response is...

The response is:
“Americans have never been afraid of any challenge. They have never backed down. We don’t need to fear this virus. We need to respect the way it operates so that we can defeat it and move on from it. That takes leadership at a national, state, and local level working together. Absent leadership we see that this virus will continue to spread”

5. Translation: I'm willing to risk YOUR life.

That should bother anyone who is not a trump zealot.
