On my street, I constantly see neighbors chatting, at normal social distance, often with children. Sometimes the stroller is between them so the child is right under the nose of the person who does not live in their household. A lot of people walk down my street to get to the beach, and I used to look up to see the dogs and little ones. Now, I can't stand seeing zero compliance with masks or distancing, so I hardly even go out on my porch. I've been thinking about droplets falling down toward children for a long time now.
IMO Trump enjoys causing pain and suffering, so I think he wants to kill as many of us as possible. He just wants the numbers fudged so it doesn't hurt him (and, yes, I know about the Woodward tapes, but I can't even talk about those yet). Today's "lemme kill more people" from Trump is this:
White House orders end to COVID-19 airport screenings for international travelers

White House orders end to COVID-19 airport screenings for international travelers
As of Monday, however, international flights will no longer be funneled into select airports for screening purposes and all screenings will come to a halt, according to communications and sources. All screenings and rerouting of select international flights will cease at exactly 12:01 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 14.
Currently, travelers upon arrival to the United States are sent to health screeners who take their temperatures and conduct a basic health screening with questions about typical COVID-19 symptoms. After the health screening, passengers proceed through passport control and customs.
One aspect of the screening is that travelers provide contact information, which can be used to perform contact tracing for infections. Without that information, it likely won’t be possible to contact passengers on a flight who may have potentially been exposed to someone infected with COVID-19.
The orders to cease prescreening operations came from the White House, with strict orders to keep the information secret until a public announcement is made. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the various agencies — and contractors — involved in the airport screening operations are working frantically to prepare for Monday’s shutdown.
