Misdirection Play, Covidiot Dept. 0
At The Philadelphia Inquirer, Robert Field explains that the persons protesting for states to “reopen” are misdirected to the wrong culprit. An excerpt (emphasis added):
Individual states are not and were never equipped to defend the nation from a global threat. That’s why the framers of the Constitution created the federal government. Asking the states to lead the fight against COVID-19 is like asking them to defend the country from a military threat. Imagine FDR announcing after Pearl Harbor that each state was on its own to fend off the armies of Germany and Japan.

In related news, The Roanoke Times’s Dan Casey, who is decidedly not an apologist for the Epidemiologist-in-Chief, responds to those who complain that his coverage of Donald Trump has been–er–less than even-handed.
