I've seen a chart where least new infections since Jun 1 tended towards blue states, and most tended towards red states. A lot can change, but if that trend continues hopefully the northern states can avoid the worst of it.
I wonder what other regretful Republican statements we can expect out of some of these governors. If DeSantis becomes too introspective, he can kiss vice presidency goodbye for when Trump conquers the White House before 2022.
When the northeast freezes up in the winter and everyone is forced into buses and subways, there is going to be an explosion of cases among our unvaccinated dummy urban poor. Hmm, maybe I should think up a nickname for them now.
I saw an article about how Ron D. backtracked on taking away the salary's of superintendents who enforced mask mandates in schools. He didn't have the power to do it which you think would be the end of the story but they floated an alternative plan to take the equivalent of a superintendent's salary out of the school's budget to collectively punish the district. When people looked sideways at that idea the Ron D. admin quietly shelved the whole thing.
The interesting thing about the aforementioned episode is this is the first time I can recall him backing down. Not sure what lesson to take away from this though. Maybe he is smart enough to know when to cut his losses or maybe he is going to blunder himself deeper into this culture war stuff until everyone from both sides hate him. Dude, might not even win reelection.
