The issue with that is I distinctly remember a few months ago when Trump wanted to ban travel to/from China...my governor blasted him for being a racist and that our state would not tolerate a "blatantly racist move" like that. It took my state longer to respond than it took the federal government to. We had our first case in the state in January. We didn't do squat until March...unless you count b*tching about the federal government. That's all my state did for the two months between our first case and actually doing something productive. And we are now one of the hardest hit states and our governor is scrambling to cover his ass because even he seems to realize that this solid blue state probably won't vote to reelect him next year. He spent a lot of time pushing blame on everyone else for failing, all while ignoring the fact that HE ALSO failed for two months. When we had our first case in January, he told the people of the state not to worry and that we would have it under control. He didn't do anything until it started spreading like wildfire in March and now...almost every day has been worse than the one before it.Funny how you're criticizing US governors, who are at the state level, and not mentioning two months of inaction at the national level.
If you really want to blame anyone...just know that it wasn't only the federal government that let us down. A lot of states are doing it too. And before you ask...my state is as democrat as a state can possibly get. No republicans to blame here, because there aren't enough to have any sort of impact on decision making. Democrats have a supermajority and what they say...goes. They own the result of our state's inaction, 100%. And I think they know it. They are in full panic mode and it's not because of the virus itself. It's because they know they f*cked up and they can't blame any of the state's republican politicians because those republicans...don't have enough numbers to overpower any decisions.
