1. Why aren't they praying to Jesus

Isn’t this a mf45 controlled state?

That said I’m impressed they are recognizing it’s not a hoax. I wonder if Lindsey is one of those reported cases?

Maybe the Democrats can flip this state blue, the Democratic candidate is impressive.

2. OK, so will the GOPee lose any credibility there

given that the puke gov said this just a few days ago (bolding mine):

It had to happen sooner or later. Some wingnut poser had to adopt the role of COVID-19 Tough Guy. Come on down, Henry McMaster, governor of the home office of American sedition. From the Charlotte Observer:

Schools and government offices across the state should stay open, and large events should not be canceled, McMaster said during a press conference with reporters Wednesday, adding that he himself will be participating in a Saint Patrick’s Day parade in Greenville this weekend. “There remains no cause for public alarm in South Carolina,” McMaster said. South Carolina had two confirmed and eight presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 as of Wednesday afternoon. Most of those cases are concentrated in Camden. “We’re following the advice, instructions and leadership of health authorities in our state,” McMaster said. “The World Health Organization deals with the world as a whole, not individual countries. The CDC has declared no such thing in the United States.”

McMaster said he also would not be asking officials to take any additional precautions — such has putting up signs warning about the coronavirus or increasing the amount of hand sanitizer available — at the S.C. State House, which sees traffic from hundreds of staff members, legislators, lobbyists and visitors every say. “At this point, I don’t think signs need to go up,” McMaster said. “I think everybody knows the coronavirus is in our state as it is in other states.”

You’d be excused if you think that Governor McMaster is something of a dunce. South Carolina: too small for a republic, too large for an insane asylum, but just the right size for a chronic ward.

Anyone that out of touch with empirical reality and with such catastrophically poor judgement shouldn't be governing anyone.
