It’s a terrible time to be any official I think, even worse to be a first responder in the near future.
At what point is local/regional quarantine less financially painful than possible full blown overwhelming of our hospitals and the resulting panic?
Sometimes there are no good solutions, and I sense that many Freepers (and many other people) are very uncomfortable recognizing that possibility.
It is easy to look for someone to blame (and sometimes there are people who deserve to be blamed) but at the local level mistakes are going to be made and local officials need to be cut a little slack.
