Gov. Beshear was doing a good job of managing outbreak and restrictions.

Until:

"FRANKFORT, Ky. —
In a stinging rebuke of the Democratic governor’s response to COVID-19, Republican lawmakers on Saturday gave final passage to bills limiting his emergency powers to impose restrictions meant to contain the coronavirus.

After months of fuming from the sidelines as Beshear restricted some business activities, GOP lawmakers completed fast-track work on measures reining in his emergency authority. The bills taken up in a rare weekend session now head to Beshear, but the GOP has the numbers to override any vetoes.

Republicans said the measures will counter Beshear’s overreach in combating the pandemic."

1. Current trajectories in the southern half of the 48 states are consistently higher than in the north.

2. New protests at state capitols will be super spreaders.

3. New strains of the virus are kicking into gear and vaccination rates are lagging.

Masks, wash hands, keep the windows open from time to time, change your clothes after shopping.
