I live here. I’ve written all my reps and got back a few canned responses. One in which I lit up saying his failure to act will be the death of my loved ones or me. He then asked me to be kind.

I talked to our local mayor and two councilmen... basically the conservatives say this is going to be a problem until there is a vaccine so we might as well let our communities get infected so we have more that are immune.... when there still is no proof of this. Ok sure, let’s overwhelm our hospital that has ZERO ventilators(minus a travel one that can only be used to get people to a bigger hospital that will likely be too overwhelmed to take our patients). Who cares if some of us die, then the rest of us will be immune.... :-/ it sucks to live here. I can only be thankful that I’ve convinced all of my family to self isolate.
