"The single best way to defeat the disease"

Finally Trump tweeted yesterday: "The single best way to defeat the disease is personal responsibility ... socially distance, wear a mask when you cannot avoid crowded places or socially distance, and wash your hands as often as possible."

Way too little, way too late, after 4.67 million cases and 156,000 deaths. Is there ANY number of deaths that would persuade the government to enact a federal mask mandate?

Right now we stand at 52 times the number of people who died on 9/11. That's obviously not enough for a national mask mandate, so how many deaths will it take?

Does the government just not care how many people die, as long as our precious individual freedom to share our virus with others is not impinged?
