[quote=spdrun]Except that Trump sabotaged the two things that would have made reopening schools and businesses possible IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY — namely (1) a national policy requiring mask use indoors, enforced by states and local authorities and (2) a nationwide rapid ( < 1 day return time) testing and contact-tracing program. If a mask policy was impossible, at the very least, he could have requested that good citizens wear masks -- instead, he turned mask use into a partisan political fucktoy of an issue.

I only disagree on the national mask mandate, but the rest +1000.
We didn't need a mask mandate but did need a little leadership.
There is a group of Trump supporters that meet at the corner of Pomerado and Twin Peaks in Poway every Sunday morning. There's a smaller anti Trump (now Biden) group that also shows up. Today the Trump group was much larger than normal, as would be expected.
Being stopped at the intersection a short time today I noticed (not surprisingly) consistent mask wearing from the Biden folks and the opposite from the Trump folks.
