But place the blame where it belongs: the Trump administration. If COVID-45 and his cronies hadn't decided that 200,000 lives were a fair trade-off for a good Dow Jones average, and thus turned "re-open now" into a vital part of the Trumpublican platform, don't you think many of those governors might have chosen to act with common sense instead of politicizing the crisis?
