   Good for you -- but what about all of those who do follow his advice,   
   explicitly or implicitly stated.  The ones who turn up at his rallies   
   without masks, crowding together and cheering at the top of their   
   voices.   That behavior is what causes spreading of the virus to others.

    AT> Vulnerable people should stay home instead of going out to a Trump   
    AT> rally. Same goes with all of Biden's protesters. Biden has more   
    AT> employees at these  protests than Trump has attendees at his rallies.   
      
   Really, PUSU on that.  I cannot see why any Biden supporter or employee   
   could even stand being at his rallies.

    AT> The only way to take away our "freedom to take a chance with   
    AT> coronavirus"  would be to take people to jail for not wearing masks.   
      
   It is not the only way to increase the actions of social distancing   
   and/or mask wearing.  If Trump had simply come out with statements   
   encouraging those practicing back when he admitted to Woodward how   
   serious the CoronaVirus was, then many people would have adopted those   
   practices and we might not be in the mess we are now.  Public   
   truth-telling and persuading can go a long way to achieve a result.   
      
    AT> But how can that be an  effective deterrent for non-maskers when we're   
    AT> letting everyone out of jail?    
      
   Non sequitur.   
      
    DS> It is not the foreigners who are dangerous.  It is your neighbors who   
    DS> allow themselves to be exposed to the virus without adequate   
    DS> protections.   
      
   Your paragraph below does not respond to the statement.   
      
    AT> Anyone desperate enough to enter the USA, infected or not, can still   
    AT> get here. There's nothing the president can do about it. The USA will   
    AT> never be one  of the first countries to defeat coronavirus.   
      
   It may well be the last country to defeat coronavirus.   
      
    AT> A vaccine sounds great, but just like the non-maskers, there's the    
    AT> anti-vaxers. If we make it a crime not to vaccinate, same deal; people   
    AT> go to  jail with the coronavirus, they get out in 24 hours, and they're   
    AT> back on the  street still without the vaccine.   
      
   There you go with a false premise again.
