“Don’t Disrupt The Supply Chain”: The 9 States Still Resisting Stay-At-Home Orders  | Zero Hedge

Meanwhile much of the mainstream media has directed its ire at the last “hold-out” states which have “dragged their feet” on the issue. Many governors have expressed that they don’t see the need to take such a drastic step that could decimate their local economies, leaving social distancing to the ‘good judgments’ of counties, towns, and individuals.

It will be interesting to see how Utah and the other hold out states do. I suspect at least some of them will suffer less. Shutting down whole economies will turn out to be painful and costly in unanticipated ways. OTOH I don’t think most of our present states are capable of enforcing anything more nuanced than this blunt rule.
