I see journalists going a bit bonkers about pestering governors that don't have state-wide stay-at-home orders.

They should note, however, that even in those states, all schools are closed, all nonessential business are closed, and gatherings of more than ten people are banned.

Like, sure, get all huffy about no stay-at-home. But let's not make the opposite error of portraying these places as simply ignoring the outbreak.

I'm talking mostly about political journalists, who are being pretty sloppy about this.

Just because there isn't a stay-at-home order doesn't mean it's business as usual. Your readers deserve better than this, journos.

I failed to properly thread these tweets, but here's the end. https://twitter.com/gabrielmalor/status/1246569346840825858
