Virus thoughts: why are the politicians immune from the shutdown?

Trump Encourages Protest Against Governors Who Have Imposed Virus ...

Whatever one calls it, Covid-19, China Virus, Wuhan Virus, the Kung Flu, whaddevah… it’s the topic in many conversations.  And one of the things that is discussed is comparisons to flu seasons past.  So, lookie-lookie; Woodstock Occurred in the Middle of a Pandemic:

In my lifetime, there was another deadly flu epidemic in the United States. The flu spread from Hong Kong to the United States, arriving December 1968 and peaking a year later. It ultimately killed 100,000 people in the U.S., mostly over the age of 65, and one million worldwide.
Nothing closed. Schools stayed open. All businesses did too. You could go to the movies. You could go to bars and restaurants. John Fund has a friend who reports having attended a Grateful Dead concert. In fact, people have no memory or awareness that the famous Woodstock concert of August 1969 – planned in January during the worse period of death – actually occurred during a deadly American flu pandemic that only peaked globally six months later. There was no thought given to the virus which, like ours today, was dangerous mainly for a non-concert-going demographic.
