### There is no reason to expect that an administration figureheaded by a
demented old man would pick the best rules for disease prevention, in fact,
it is very unlikely that they would be anywhere close to the optimum rules.
Having the same "strict" rules for the entire nation would only lock in bad
policies, with no room for experimentation and it would bring down
successful states (e.g. Florida) to the level of basket cases.
