Forrest Gump’s Mother told him “Stupid is as stupid does.” And today is no different. Several Republican governors and Trump criticized Democrats and the administration’s scientists for pushing mask wearing. Now those governors are pleading and mandating masks. When their stupid supporters are lying dead in hospital hallways, morgues, and refrigerator trailers, they decided it was time to stop being stupid.

            People are criticizing Governor Pritzker for his efforts to save Illinois citizens, but he has been where Republican governors are now going. Now Republican governors are telling people to wear a mask to save not only themselves, but their families, friends, co-workers, and people they just pass by. Healthy people of all ages are going into hospitals one day and dying the next with their families dying in the next few days. Imagine not showing symptoms and infecting your parents, siblings, and children, then having to plan funerals for all of them. It has happened hundreds of times. “Stupid is as stupid does.”
