By now, it’s become a truth universally acknowledged that the media must continually be in search of a governor and specific political ideology to blame when COVID cases rise.
Well, I’m old enough to remember when it was a truth universally acknowledged.
But that was way back in the summer, when cases were rising in the Southern states, mostly run by Republican governors who refused to acquiesce to demands from the media to mandate masks and vaccine passports.
The seasons have changed, however, and case trends along with it.
The Midwest and the Northeast are now the epicenter of the latest COVID surge.
