[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just listened to the weekly MoCo Covid press briefing and this is why I like Marc Elrich:

He KNOWS people want an "everything back to normal, hooray!" date and he KNOWS that's not how it works. The politician-y thing to do would be to make a promise and give an arbitrary date, and then either sweep risks under the rug, or renege on the promise and push it back. So he'll take the mud people sling at him for not providing a date on certain things, deferring to the data and trends. This also provides an incentive for people to keep wearing masks, etc and following the rules so that the trends continue to go in the right direction so that we CAN open up.

Elrich, at age 70, has been there/done that when it comes to politics, he has no future aspirations so he just makes the right decisions, not the political decisions.

+1 I like it when I know someone else is making the right decisions for us so we don't have to worry about it, or about their motivations. The virus is a huge inconvenience. Let those in charge decide when and how to open up based on what's best for us, not based on reelection chances (like the orange you-know-who, who clearly doesn't care about the health of others, not even his own base).[/quote]
