Can you quantify that?

And do you think opening things up during an uptick in cases (if not deaths--hard to say because each state is unique), while not following federal guidelines, will continue to minimize the damage of the disease [sic]?

Couple that with belligerent, agenda driven governors acting like 3rd world, banana republic El Presidentes and the sincerity and validity of the message kind of got lost.


The point that is missed is that governors have had to rise to the challenge because there has been no leadership at the top. In a normal world, our leaders would be working with governors to keep the public safe, but that's not what's going on.

I think it takes a lot of chutzpah to put the spotlight on governors without shining that beacon on DC....I mean, one governor made an executive decision to purchase virus tests from a foreign country because he wasn't getting what he needed from DC, and he kept it on the DL because he didn't want the feds to seize the shipment.

So remind me: which is the banana republic?

It's a travesty.
