#8  Competitive pressures will force the blue states to follow, even though by all appearances they seem perfectly content to remain closed indefinitely.

#6  The local (Charlotte, NC) news media went frantic over this last night. They ranted and raved about fatalities and # of cases climbing (well, # of cases can never go down, now, can they?) and produced some poor woman who was terrified that it was too early, citing almost verbatim the rants the anchors had just finished with.

Tonight I expect the lead story to be that someone here in SC has died and it is all the governor's fault because he reopened too early.

Of course, the lead story two nights ago was a woman who died...who was 98...who was in a nursing home...who was on hospice care. But she died!!!!!

I am getting a bit tired of all the panic and hysteria mongering.
