The experts also tell us that getting everyone back to work or "back to church" prematurely will let the virus spread exponentially. This is a concept Trump doesn't and probably can't understand, but hopefully some of his followers can. Exponential viral growth means that today's 75,000 cases and 1000 deaths could in a few months be multiplied not by 10 or 100, but by 1000 or possibly even 10,000. That's right, if unleashed to rage unchecked through the US population, this coronavirus could kill between 1 and 10 million people.

Any normal person faced with the choice between his own needs and the potential death of millions of people would put those lives first. But a sociopath wouldn't. Much less a sociopathic narcissist.
Still, we'd never elect someone like that as President. And even if we did, sensible people, the "adults in the room", would step in to protect us. After all, we have the Constitution, Congress and the courts--all those carefully crafted checks and balances--to save us. Right?
Right?
