It's just a mask

This adds credence to Doug Muder's suggestion on The Weekly Sift:

Nobody is saying this part out loud, but I see a pretty cold calculus at work: If conservatives can get another Covid wave started, not only would that make Biden look bad, but it might spark another round of mask mandates and business closures. Then in 2022 Republican candidates can run against the "tyranny" that they themselves made necessary.

That plan may be evil, but it shows grit, and the courage to make the tough decisions.

(The last line plays off an observation about the 'conservative values' of grit and courage made earlier in the essay.)
