Low death count doesn’t always mean the governor is doing a great job. Maine has a low case and death count. Not one healthy person has died. It’s been all elderly and people with other heath issues. The governor refuses to reopen the state.
She keeps saying she’s afraid if she opens the state Massachusetts people will flock here. Outside of Boston Massachusetts is opening tomorrow.
She’s abdicated almost all authority to the state CDC person. Of course, a health person wants to keep the state shut down. A third of the states jobs are hospitality or dependent on hospitality. Unemployment in Maine will be high for a long time.
As I read in an article government makes economic versus health decisions all the time. If they didn’t the speed limit would be 15 mph. As it is when this ends there will have been twice as many vehicle deaths in the state last year as COVID deaths this year. Do all vehicles need to be removed from the road until it’s safe to drive?
