Politicians, mostly Democrats, journalists, public figures, judges. We are seeing sanity trying to assert itself, and I think we have a solid ignition. There just is no comeback to what they are saying. These crazies must be silenced back to their toadstools to stew in their own juices. Even Arizona Maricopa county officials turned out the lights on them this week!

and is one that he has been using for the past 18 months, while he was furiously opening up the state like mad, sending cases soaring as idiots from here in PA, ran across the bridges to party, got infected, and then brought it back here. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Based on a quick look at the NYT tracker, NJ had 1.04 million cases and PA had 1.24 million. NJ has about 70% of PA's population (8.9 million vs 12,8 million), but have almost 186,000 more cases for their population (in relative terms) than PA. And knowing that they are the bedroom community for NYC to the north and Philly to the south, one would think they would have operated with more prudence.
