“I never thought about it that way, but you may very well be correct. Fear of the voters is a powerful motivator for recalcitrant elected officials”
Yeah; we talk about how dumb and passive American are, but I never believed it. Americans are now more galvanized and energetic and I do believe that the minute NY was alerted, the governor of Jersey and mainly NY had visions of a citizenry marching on the mansion of the governor and either ordering a full impeachment or literally dragging the entire Gubernatorial family out and frogmarching them to a spot where they would be tarred and feathered.
People in New York are not passive types and are fully aware of the reality of a full blown epidemic, what it would do to the entire population and business environment. Also, right now history is being made and no governor or politician wants to go down in history as a man who was in charge and failed to do the right thing.

Uh, except of course that fool Obama who’s apparently drive exclusively by ideology.
