Where's the threat that would necessitate a visit? It's not like he had a pizza delivered to the official's home.
If the pandemic had been deadlier and even more infectious like measles or smallpox were, would you still be against mandates? Surely there is a scenario like airborne Ebola or 28 days Later Rage virus that would…
Science hasn't worked since 1986? HN has some of the wildest claims / exaggerations.
