Arkansas, Iowa, South Carolina! What are you thinking? Shut down now! You do not see a single Democrat acting this Recklessly.

I’ve got some words for the governors of Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri and the eight other states that have yet to adopt statewide stay-at-home orders to stop the spread of the c****av***s p******c. And they’re not nice words.

What the #@*& are you waiting for?

As I was writing this, the confirmed cases of C****-** across the globe topped 1 million. Nearly a quarter of them in the United States. Every state has cases. Every. State.

So far, 39 U.S. states have followed the recommendations of public health experts and told all their residents to stay at home and shut down nonessential businesses to make it harder for the v***s to spread. A few states have localized shutdowns and way too many have no restrictions at all. That's dangerous for their residents and for all of us. V***ses don't respect borders. All states need to take the same measures to create an effective barrier against community spread.

And do so immediately.

In this p******c, time matters. There's mounting evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 v***s can be spread by people without symptoms, which makes early intervention important. Waiting until hospitals are overrun is costly and deadly.

Those states that took steps early will probably fare better than those that waited until just the last few days to take action. California and Washington were among the first wave, and there are signs that their social distancing measures are working.

States that moved slowly, such as Florida and Georgia, might not be so fortunate. It wasn't until his state had about 8,000 confirmed cases that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday finally relented to pressure to issue a statewide order. He had resisted doing so, he said, because President Trump hadn't told him to. Way to show leadership, governor! Who knows how many people have been or will be hurt by this foot-d**gging.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp wasn't just boneheadly stubborn, his staff went to far as to chastise local governments for issuing their own stay-at-home orders to quell surges in C****-** cases. On Wednesday he, too, gave in and ordered statewide social distancing measures.

Why had it taken him so long to reach this sensible conclusion? Kemp explained that he didn't realize until then that people without symptoms could spread the v***s. Despite the fact that health officials have been making that very point practically since the day the outbreak reached the United States in January.

Well, now he knows. And so do the holdout governors of Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming.

Stop stalling. Do the right thing. Protect your people and tell them to stay at home.

Here's how Arkansas politicians are rationalizing waiting; while all other States businesses are shuttered, we'll take over and make billions. We can get away with it too, because we know that if we don't test very much, we don't have many positive cases. Our fearless leaders are testing non at risk folks vs. at risk folk at a ratio of 8:1..............................so that they can report our infection rate at less than 10%.

When this is over, I hope the survivors beat their asses plumb out of the State..................or to prison for felony negligent homicide.

If a Mexican comes on the forum and becomes critical of the US for managing THEIR v***s, I will be sure to let them know you were unhappy about them letting the v***s spread to almost become a p******c.

And gifts from China, would that be the same quality of respirators they sold to the Neatherlands that were defective? Or the test kits sold to Spain and the Czech Republic that were useless in detecting their v***s? Or their sales to Australia? Seems that Turkey and Georgia are unhappy with their purchases too. Yes, the US bought 80 tons of medical supplies from Shanghai, we can only hope they are of passable quality. Do you think we can get a refund if there are problems with the purchase?

So, exactly what are we supposed to say thank you for, the v***s, bad information, or questionable equipment that we bought and possibly defective?

sorry my friend....I guess my tone was rather rough.

I don't let that side of me out often...…anger is not my go to emotion.

Many bought supplies from providers that were not licensed.... Rather i***tic...

If it makes you feel better, investigations have been launched into companies that have provided faulty products....

I was talking about the supplies that have been donated to the US and elsewhere... Ones that came from the government and other organizations...

As for H1N1, it was reported by the US and the first cases came from the US... Perhaps you're confusing New Mexico and Mexico.... One is a state in the US... The other is a nation South of y'all...
