See previous note about humans and cognitive paths that are not entirely rational.
To deny the problems caused by COVID19 is irrational.
To refuse to wear a mask in public is irrational and apathetic to the plight of others.
To order those who you supervise to not wear a mask is beyond irrational and apathetic; it is domineering and narcissistic.
To refuse to let people into a building you control if they wear a mask is beyond domineering; it's malicious to those that are at serious health risk.
To do all this as a person with government authority is straight up Evil. With a capital E.
