........He needs to get us to believe, at least for a few months, that we can safely return to our jobs, (assuming they are still there) if we stay six feet apart, get our temperature checked at the door and wash our hands repeatedly. Trump needs just enough of an economic bounce by November to help him slither through the piles of corpses.
All of this is justified by the well-traveled framework which pits our livelihoods against our health. We hear again and again that its an inevitable trade-offthat to get our jobs back we must accept more deaths. As Trump recently said, Therell be more death, that the virus will pass, with or without a vaccine. And I think were doing very well on the vaccines but, with or without a vaccine, its going to pass, and were going to be back to normal. Trump surrogate, Chris Christie, got more to the point by saying we just have to get used to the rise in deaths if we want to save the American way of life.
We have to face up to the chilling truth: To win reelection Trump is willfully allowing the virus to kill more and more of us, especially our most vulnerablethe old, the infirm, the poor, and the essential low-wage workers.

Does that mean we shouldn't pass them? No.
