When I spoke with people here, they seemed shellshocked. It happened so fast. The virus, the media panic, the shutdown. Two months later, Kitsap County has had only two coronavirus deaths, but its economy has collapsed. Rural cities have been held hostage by urban politics.
The businesses and citizens here don't "want people to die." They don't want to "kill grandma so they can get a haircut." They want to survive. They want their sandwich shop or comic store to be there when this ends. Rural counties should be able to calculate their own risk.
Why should rural Washington be hostage to the work-from-home modelers and shut-it-down-forever politicians? Why should rural New York be hostage to De Blasio and Cuomo, who botched the response in New York City so badly? Small communities need representation. They need choice.
Here's the bottom line: the virus has hit different places with varying intensity. Those places have different needs, cultures, and risk profiles. They deserve to set their own policy. They deserve to calculate their own risks and rewards. They deserve that freedom.
