>partisan First point: Do you really think it's partisan to point out that governors from the same political party tend to follow similar courses of action? Second point: let's use your own data against you [1][2]. According to you, overall cases are "flat or slightly increasing" but actually your chart is about deaths. The overall cases have doubled in the last week. Which means, all things being equal, that over the next two weeks or so, we'll be seeing a doubling of deaths follow suit.

It is absolutely partisan to characterize their actions with the phrase "in complete denial", without acknowledging that there are serious and fatal consequences of any lockdown that must be weighed against the benefits. These governors are probably making a good-faith judgement call which (while perhaps in error) is about as far from "denial" as it is possible to be. What else but partisanship could motivate the ridiculous claim that governors belonging to one political party are flatly ignoring the risk of additional infection? To me personally, the tone comes across as way beyond partisan. It is smug, disgusting bullying.

  I doubt they feel bullied. If they don’t even notice, how can it be called bullying?
