The sickness

Woods Cross, Utah: Your opinion writer S.E. Cupp titled an article “Trump is the virus” (op-ed, April 15). The Republican Party staked a claim to this virus, as well. It was this party’s governors who, against all scientific advice, first opened beaches bars, restaurants and gyms. Trump and his party also pushed the idea that government cannot justly regulate its citizens’ behavior in any physical way, not even for safety and health.
