Don't take it seriously but pretend you do. Suggest certain actions for awhile. They open up everything wide prematurely and guess what?

Clamp down AGAIN only this time seriously. Close things again only this time not grudgingly. Backtrack sheepishly tail between legs. Any worry about the wrath of trump is irrelevant compared to the wrath of rising case ill people and more deaths.

The people get vengeance on all pols who didn't act on their behalf.
