    1. The decent & proper response to the news is that one should hope for a speedy recovery for Trump, wife, his close personal aide & anyone else who tests positive, followed by Trump being trounced in the election, facing, and face legal punishment for his many crimes.

        2. There's a human story, which ideally should call forth empathy, but also, of necessity, a political story. Trump has spent almost the entirety of this year downplaying the pandemic, continued to hold rallies, mocked those who wore masks. That can't be forgotten.

        3. Trump's bungling of the pandemic has led to tens of thousands Americans dying who would have survived in the USA had a competent president. His positive test is also an occasion to reflect on that bungling and vast human toll he bears responsibility for.

        4. The worst political response would be for Biden to, as some have suggested, suspend his campaign. The opposite is true: now, more than ever, the Democrats need to hammer home that Trump has bungled a pandemic & needs to be replaced.

        some people actually think decency matters and aren't broken by cynicism wanting decency can be about more than virtue signaling

        The decent and proper response is to never wish well to powerful white sumpremacists because you are implicitly wishing ill on all the millions of people he will go on to directly harm. You're confusing cowardly politeness with moral decency.

        This is my quandary. (1) be a decent human being, or (2) do what is expected for proper, kind people to do.
