    Preventable deaths from covid. Which is where we got when trump REFUSED to take any action for the health of this countries citizens.

    In Ohio we have/had Mike DeWine as govenor. Now, DeWine is a republican. And if covid never happened, I wouldn’t like DeWine in any way. I don’t agree with his politics. I don’t agree with his policies. In general I don’t support him.

    However, for the duration of covid, he listened to health experts. He put in place safety regulations and lockdowns designed to help every single citizen in the face of an at the time uncurable deadly pandemic.

    He put aside his ego. He put aside his political party. He put aside all the bullshit and did what was right WHILE HIS OWN PARTY MEMBERS THREW HIM UNDER THE BUS FOR IT.

    For that, I have to begrudgingly respect him for what he did. He put the human first at the cost of his own career.

    Meanwhile, trump let 1 million plus people die, and shrugged.

      Same with Cuomo in NYC. Can’t stand the guy, but he took covid as seriously as Fauci suggested. It was rough, since the first hot spot was in New Rochelle and we didn’t know much about it at first. Nevertheless, people bitched and moaned about lost business while refrigerated trucks full of corpses were lining the streets.
