Total BS. This shutdown had to happen. Travel, conferences and sporting venues had to halt or this would have been incredibly bad. Offices has to go stay at home and restaurants and bars could not put hundreds of people in close range.
I still believe there was an over-reaction over the past month with local and state governments playing ‘who can panic more’ or ‘who is the closet fascist’. Stay at homes that are crushing even more businesses was over reach. One on one and small groups could have congregated without massive spread. That said, there is no doubt this was different than the expectation early on. It had to happen.
Governors because state medical capacities have been up to them. Trying to stay one step ahead of the lynch mobs.
