blood on their hands

The more I read about the US response to covid-19, the more convinced I am that Trump and company are about to have hundreds of thousands of people's blood on their hands. Every member of the cabinet who decided not to Article 25 him out of office is in that group. We're talking mass manslaughter. For secret service agents, it's the trolley problem: do you let the train barrel forward and kill countless people? Or do you shoot the driver (and maybe the vice driver, and probably get yourself killed) so that someone who isn't utterly divorced from reality can redirect it down a track with a lot fewer people on it? Time's running out.

By nature, I am not a worrier. But I'm worried about people back home.
