Some people aren't as fortunate as you. But now you got a President who cares about these other people. I reckon if you don't like the attitude adjustment, you can leave and move elsewhere. Just giving you the same advice you have given us - though some did leave once and the conservatives begged us to come back. Yeah, many of us did community service tutoring youngsters and helping out in the Parks

Even the hard right states are being forced to 'see the light'. Interesting that the Governor of Wyoming is specifically referencing patients being sent from South Dakota, where Governor Kristi Noem has made a big point about 'freedom' and 'masking'.... This is an excerpt from an article about the impact of the virus in today's NY Times.

"A visibly angry Gov. Mark Gordon of Wyoming, speaking at a news conference, said that hospitals have set up tents because they are overrun, that patients from crowded facilities in South Dakota have been sent into Wyoming, and that misinformation about the virus was running rampant. He said he was considering a mask mandate and other restrictions after months of hesitation. People in Wyoming have been “knuckleheads” about the virus, he said.
“We’ve relied on people to be responsible and they’re being irresponsible,” Mr. Gordon said. “If I can’t rely on you, we’re going to have to do something else.”

Edit - This also really reminds of how the R Governors outside the east coast were boasting about their handling of the virus this past spring. They are getting to eat their words now.
