Has Jay handled Covid perfectly? No. But I think he got it mostly right, which makes it the highlight of his governorship.

When uncertainty is great, smart people exercise the cautionary principle. Inslee has done that. Did he get it wrong sometimes? Heck yeah, but a lot of that was when far, far less was known about the virus than is now, in addition to some choices that appear to have been purely or mostly political. I expect new shutdowns to be more and better targeted than they were last spring.
