Left to Die

I was looking at a map that showed which states adopted shelter-in-place early and which did not. As of today, April 2,  eleven governors have not issued stay-at-home orders, our main defense against the pandemic.

As you know, the White House dithered for months and lost months of preparation and still has not stepped up. There's a penalty when you elect scum to lead western civilization.

It's not hard to identify the states with useless governors. They are too stupid, too uncaring or too ideologically bent to avoid the unnecessary deaths that are going to pile up in places like Florida. 

Some of my ancestors began life in a border state. But in the 1870s they decided they "wanted to live" (according to one of my great-grandfathers, related to the Hatfields). The family headed west with a herd of horses and a covered wagon.

Since then huge numbers of people have decided to go someplace better. It's too late to move during the current pandemic. But when things settle down, intelligent people might consider getting out of a place where the voters elect leaders who will leave you to die.
