For once, just once, I wish people would take masking and social distancing seriously. There was no reason to hold a political event this size other than to thumb your nose at the health and safety of others while ignoring best practices to control the spread. 1/ https://twitter.com/cuffbalboa/status/1298774264246661120
Leaders — public officials — have tremendous influence and responsibility to lead by example. They failed by holding and attending this event, which could have been held virtually or postponed. 2/
The open it all up crowd and the Trumplicans whining about “but my liberty” fail to appreciate that when they flaunt CDC & public health recs to reduce spread fail they are only drawing out the return to fully reopening, likely costing more jobs and economic harm to all. 3/
I want to dine out, have my kids’ school return safely to in-person instruction, enjoy the theater, concerts and all the other things I have put on hold. I have followed the rules/recs for my health, but also my family’s & everyone in my community. Shared sacrifice. Try it. /end
