I'd be OK with Trump dictating that covid patients are not mixed with the elderly.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoes bill directing COVID-19 patients away from nursing homes

At the same time, I'm glad that he didn't dictate that I couldn't work and earn a paycheck.

The curve has been flattened and hospitals are not overrun.

How long are you willing to stay holed up? The vaccine may never come.

What are you going on about? I never stopped working. I've been pulling 50+ hour weeks since march, as I'm an "essential worker". Covid hasn't hit my particular part of the country particularly bad.

Also thats only deaths. Not afflicted. Millions of Americans have caught and survived this disease. Many suffering long term effects from it. Beyond that, every infected person effects many others around them. Simply counting the dead is cherry picking the results. ThT neglects tens of millions of family members and their friends and colleagues. Many of which will survive. But drain resources and money from the system.

I must have misunderstood your proposition. What is it that you think Trump should do to show that he cares appropriately?
