Governor Reynolds is a moron and unfit to judge anybody smarter. That's the problem with democratic elections: All the morons are just as likely to vote for a moron as for a smart person, if the moron has a nice speaking voice and looks good on TV. (And she does.) Politicians should not be making medical or epidemiology decisions, unless they actually are MDs or qualified epidemiologists. This is Trump's lack of respect for expertise biting us in the ass.

Dr. Fauci understands the simple fact that when a virus doubles infections every three days, a few scattered cases of asymptomatic infection turn into Italy withing a few weeks. He wants to spare Iowa that experience. Well, it's Governor Reynolds' political funeral if that's what she wants.
