I opened my email this morning to read an article by none other than the New York Times regarding the wisdom of “coronavirus absolutism.” Their lead on the article is:

Rep. Keith Goehner, R-Dryden, represents the 12th Legislative District in the Washington State Legislature.
To say 2020 was a tough year would be an underestimate. If you had to rely on the Washington State Employment Security Department (ESD) it may have been exceptionally difficult.
