Atlas is another Trump liar. He is as much a human rights violater as DeSantis is by encouraging children to return to schools. Children are at risk BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE and lack of sophistication in understanding what COVID-19 does to their bodies. Asking a Kindergartener to wear a mask will only last as long as their attention span.
The Washington Post is correct in stating Atlas is pandering to Trump and campaigning for herd immunity. Atlas's actual words push for denying herd immunity is an attempt to engage Trump's demands and not a valid public policy. The Trump administration has not cared about the American people from the beginning of this administration.
Lying to the public is a favored Trump political strategy. Atlas is no different. In visiting Florida to promote airline travel and tourism is recognizing the fact most visitors are in the state for less than two weeks which is the normal quarantine duration.
Basically, Atlas is a trick on the public and another idea that the Deep State is wrong about a very dangerous virus. SARS-CoV-2 will have immediate impacts on an American, but, also in the future as they age and have incurred microscopic injuries from the initial infection. SARS-CoV-2 attacks LONGEVITY, be it immediate or in the long view.
Atlas is nothing more than a "Trump Clown" in the Trump Circus.
