It's fine that you are personally more risk averse than Obama apparently is -- hell, I'm basically a shut-in, so I'm probably even more risk averse than you -- but I'm not going to look down upon what you choose to do as long as you are being responsible and follow prevailing guidelines at the time.
Basically, it is not up to Obama to follow your personal standards anymore than it is up to you to follow my personal standards. As long as we are following CDC guidance, we are doing a helluva lot more than those that are not -- you know, the ones that are the real source of our current problems.
