Ned Lamont, Governor of Connecticut, has done an EXCELLENT job throughout all this.

He jumped on this right away, closed bars, restaurants, gyms, salons, stores, etc. back in the second week of March. At the time there were only 41 cases in the state, but he saw what was coming.

Knock on wood, deaths and hospitalizations have been dropping for a couple of weeks. And today was the first day since March that we haven't had a death and only 83 people are hospitalized.

Yesterday he delayed the next phase for at least a few weeks (bars were due to open next week)

It was also his idea last week for the "big three" (NJ, NY, and CT) to close the state to travelers from a dozen or so states, adding three more today.

For perspective, there are 3.6 million people in Connecticut.

Let's hope they don't reopen too fast as many other states have done.

2. It's so comforting to have a Gov who cares about

our lives & works to Flattened the curve instead of being a slave to trump & the so-called "economy First".. like desantis & ducy.

Good on Gov Lamont.. lookin' OUT!

3. He often gets overlooked with Cuomo, Baker and the NJ Gov getting the press. But Lamont deserves as

much if not more credit. Maybe the RI Gov too.

The Trump lovers criticized Lamont for the way he handled the virus, on the day the national map showed CT as the only state colored in green, in other words, they criticized him for being the best.

Figures, they applaud the guy who's the worst.

4. He Has Turned Up The Winner

after that dreadful debacle with Lieberman

5. Absolutely!

I am extremely proud that he did the right thing while the fascists whined. We are winning this fight when many other states are not.

6. Is it any coincidence that the states that were proactive from the beginning....

....all have Democratic governors?
