I can’t think of any other reason you’d be against opening up more blue but purplish states while embarrassing the hell out of their leftwing governors.

Because IMO its just the wrong time/wrong battle to fight if the sole purpose is to "embarrass the hell out of" leftwing governors. This is an unprecedented public health situation where perhaps, PERHAPS erroring on the side caution is NOT so unreasonable, and its also a situation that should be treated/considered as apolitical.

Now, have some possibly overreached? Yeah sure...but is RIGHT NOW the time to gather in close quarters and to protest the possible overreach? I would say no...stay the hell home and follow the common sense distancing guildelines and expend your energy voting their a$$es out in the fall or in the next election cycle. I personally don't like the optics of this either...it gives the appearance that WE are the lawbreakers here. Like I said...its the wrong battle wrong time. Trumps tweets egging them on follow the same notion.

I am biased in this sense as my career has been in healthcare for the last 20+ years. I also believe (as Rumsfeld would put it) that there are still a lot of unknown unknowns here.
