10. While my NY was in the throes of it, I did see some disgusting comments in the media on why

this plague was being visited on the NE rather than other areas.

So when it started to climb in the south and west, I did have a moment of "Ha!"

But I'm over that now. I have many disagreements with my governor, but I knew he had my back on this. I knew we were doing everything we could to stop it. And I knew our efforts were working. I knew I had a part to play and it was important.

I think the states that are being hit now are the saddest thing I have ever seen. First, it was entirely preventable. Second, these people are sheep, and they have been so misled. Yes, they are adults and they allowed themselves to be led, but by their actions we can see they are just ignorant beyond belief. Having seen what this virus can do to a community, I just am heartbroken about the pain and suffering they are running toward with open arms. And it won't be just a season for them. They are not doing what they need to do to stop it. It will go on and on and on.

We had weeks of heartache. But even at the worst, we could see that we had caught it and it was beginning to move in the right direction.

They will have months. I cannot imagine. I could cry thinking about the agony those poor, stupid people will go through.
