I am also in a red state. Our local government has stepped up with ordinances and closures. Our county hospital is reporting cases and, sadly, at least one death. Yes, there are some idiot leaders out there and there is idiot behavior going on, but there's plenty of that to go around.

Harping on red states serves no constructive purpose; it only stirs bad feelings and pits us against one another when we are all in this together. Please DU, it needs to stop.

eta - mine is not the only post in the thread about red states taking the situation seriously and taking action. The main problem we all have is lack of leadership from the top. Blame the real culprit for this: trump*.
