But I also think that if I'm trying to do my part and the government is dragging their feet on everything, then I/general public will still be screwed and we are all essentially victims. I understand this is a first-time/unknown situation, but common sense should come into play and there are certain things that should go without saying, such as this statewide shut down. Should have happened from the get-go, not AFTER on the verge of becoming of hot spot, if we aren't one already. Also, our neighboring continents have gone through this virus before it broke out in the US, so we knew about it and had time to prepare, but the government downplayed it and look at the mess we're in now as a city/state/nation.
