What can one say?  John’s questions are exactly on point, but nobody is surprised about what’s going on:

Why is an unelected official making all the Covid decisions?  Governor Dan McKee seems content to allow Dr. Nicole Alexander Scott to make all Covid decisions including decisions that are different than Massachusetts. Why is testing so slow? Why does the state now have different mandates than Massachusetts and Connecticut?  Governor McKee seems to want to distance himself from decisions made by the RIDOH,  but they are supposed to report to him. Why isn’t LT. Governor Matos in-charge of the Covid task force, which has the power to create problems for businesses?
