Okay, maybe I should have added "and those of an authoritarian bent?"
Terrible response. People who are concerned about virus spreading shouldn't be labeled evil, because they care about their loved ones and friends.
So are a million other disease vectors we live with on a daily basis.
As Trump himself said, covid is 5 times worse than the flu and airborne. You cannot logical claim it's just another disease. So again, I don't agree/see your logical base. Trump has said it is deadly for both the young and the old.
Clearly you have not been following my posts on the subject of "cases." Let me reiterate. CASES does not equal either serious effects or deaths. The vast majority of CASES result in little or no symptoms for most people.
People are still dying by the thousands by the virus. It still takes weeks to get their test results back. There's still no vaccine. Until the war is over, then we can't go back to normal.
A "freedom is not a freedom" if it is not exercisable. That's what makes it a FREEDOM.
He is holding rallies without following CDC or state guidelines. That's not exercising freedom, that is taking away people's freedoms.
Authoritarians don't believe in freedom, and they make your very argument the basis for seeking all sorts of restrictions.
I would really appreciate if you refrain from demagoguery language here. I am not making assumptions about you, but you're making assumptions about me. Look, I am not saying Trump cannot hold rallies. But no face mask requirements, no spacing requirements. That's my concern.
Yes, the people are voluntary, but as noted before, they can carry the virus and pass it on toward others.
All what I am arguing here is why doesn't Trump hold his rallies and follow safety precautions? Trump claims he wants to do everything to stop the virus, but holding rallies that create virus carriers doesn't seem logical.
I get that it is hard to defend Trump, but you seem to be in a position where you have to defend why can't hold rallies and follow the rules. Look, I would say the same thing about the BLM protests violating CDC guidelines as well.
