1. I don't know this guy, but he probably means well.

I can't imagine he'd put his kids in danger to make a political point. He needs to travel to WA and NY to get a personal update on the situation.

4. He's a Republican so he definitely is stupid enough to endanger his family and his constituents.

6. He's basically Chet from Weird Science

10. The previous governor of Kentucky

Republican Matt Bevin exposed his NINE kids to chickenpox instead of having them vaccinated.

12. That's the Governor of the state. He does not mean well. He has to keep the Trump line.

The idea that this virus is a hoax is so ingrained in the crazy red states that no politician can do what needs to be done.

Do not assume that trump believers or religious nuts are just being cynical. Trump is for sure. But lots of the rubes following him are true believers.

13. A top Ala. official got mad at a reporter for asking about preparations last week.

But today I see people have sprung into action.

Ammo sales surge at Alabama gun shops
“People are panicking.”
the hot sellers are ammunition, small handguns and “AR-15 type” of guns.

“The nationwide run on ammunition is real … very, very real,”

So, we can expect some stupid shooting deaths soon. " I thought they were after my toilet paper..."

Thing is, in their minds, tho not said aloud in public, they have a very specific group of people they fear are gonna rob them. and it is not the neo-nazi, KKK members.

5. How about #MakeOklaItaly

7. He picked a fight with the Tribes.

So you know he’s a moron.

8. My OK fam says he won't close schools cuz of nurses

Saying if schools are closed, nurses w/ kids will have to stay home and it will cause a nursing shortage.
Newsflash, guy, if the spreading continues, half of your very sick residents won’t be able to get a BED in the hospitals!
As a nurse myself, tho not living in OK, his ignorance makes me 😡😡🤯🤬

#flattenthecurve Save the healthcare system so it doesn’t implode!

9. another science denier

11. This is going to be awful

People are still out in crowds because FOX and the White House cast doing on the seriousness of this until very recently. The whole country is going to suffer so much more because they just couldn’t admit it was a crisis.

This is not a joke, stay in your homes if at all possible. Any crowd gathering is going to make it worse for so many.
