but, more to the point, as i wouldn't trust the mask to protect me from something that is a legitimate danger to me, i wouldn't be cavorting around with younger people. i wouldn't even go to the grocery store. if i had kids, i'd tell them to stay the fuck away from me. i would be locked into a bunker, right now.
and, this is what i've advocated from the start - the elderly, and those with specific conditions, need to be protected.
so, the idiots will say "look. he didn't wear a mask, and he got sick.". but, what the science says is that he got sick because he wasn't distancing, and the mask wouldn't have saved him, regardless. he shouldn't have been campaigning, he shouldn't have been travelling in helicopters with younger people and he shouldn't have even been holding meetings face-to-face with advisors.
but, i'm not in donald trump's risk factor - so i don't need to take the same precautions that he should have.
i realize that this could very well kill him, and rather quickly. and, while mike pence scares the hell out of me, i'm not any more excited about voting for biden.
but, i may have to endorse biden to block pence, in the end - that's a different game, altogether.
