He could certainly follow the recommendations of his scientific advisors
and call for a national stay at home, instead of simply leaving it to
the states. His failure to do so will cost lives, and an indication of
his reluctance to take responsibility for a difficult decision.

Those oblivious Americans are harming themselves and others. Police
action is not what is called for -- education is. It is the oblivious
governors who are also to blame, such as those who encourage mass
gatherings.
