Here’s state senator and progressive candidate for lieutenant governor Cynthia Mendes:

It’s Monday in #RI. Our hospitals are packed. Our teachers are afraid to go to work today because of raging COVID cases in our schools. Our students are terrified of putting their families in danger by going to school. Teaching & learning shouldn’t be this risky or traumatic!

Are people really living like this?  Honestly, I haven’t seen it.  As fearmongers like Mendes insinuate themselves into government offices, we really do undermine the health and prospects of our state and nation.
