Duh GOP, on the wrong side of science.....always in all ways.
Mayors are pleading with their Republican governors to follow the science and shut down states over the coronavirus

Mayors across the US are on the front lines of fighting the spread of the coronavirus in vulnerable urban areas.
But the Republican governors of some of the largest states, including Arizona, Texas, and Florida, are largely leaving local officials to fight their own battles or usurping local authority.
Mayor Kate Gallego of Phoenix told Insider that Gov. Doug Ducey had largely stripped her power to respond to the crisis. The governor issued a "stay at home" order only after Gallego and eight other Arizona mayors signed a letter demanding he do so.
Mayor Sylvester Turner of Houston said Texas had to work together to keep people home and slow the virus' spread. He called Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's comments that older Americans would gladly sacrifice their lives to reopen the economy more quickly "a false choice."
At the same time, several other red-state governors, including Mike DeWine of Ohio and Larry Hogan of Maryland, have pushed back on President Donald Trump's downplaying of the crisis and acted quickly to crack down on the virus' spread.
