I wish that I could say that I'm surprised, but I'm not. Many of these states didn't like the "stay at home" orders in the first place. Yes, Ohio seemed to be an outlier, in that it is led by a Republican, yet it was fairly proactive in quickly shutting things down. Still, Republicans are Republicans, and they by and large have decided that the economy comes first no matter what, and if people have to die to keep it going, oh well, too bad, so sad.

The governors who open too early should have their legacies tied to their poor handling of this crisis. I understand the political pressure they may be under, but this is a matter of public health and you can't have an economy if you don't have the people and means to make it work.
