I don’t care about the hypocrisy, it comes with the territory when you choose to work with the government. One day, you find yourself breaking the rules you represent because the rules (i.e., regulations, laws, mandates, dictates, edicts) are impossible to follow consistently over time.
What you need to know is that people who have access to the best information, all the qualifications, and are being paid to be the experts are not worried about a “novel” virus killing them nor their loved ones.
Watch their actions. This threat is overblown.
