Julianne Murray: COVID: Reopen the state, focus on nursing homes

Ms. Murray sought on several occasions to portray Gov. Carney as out-of-touch, attacking his handling of the pandemic. Ms. Murray called for reopening the state, saying officials should concentrate their efforts on nursing homes, which have seen a disproportionate share of COVID-related deaths.

John Carney: COVID: We'll follow the science and wear masks

On COVID: "We'll continue to follow the science and wear masks. It's a small sacrifice to protect our neighbors. This is not a partisan political issue. It's a public health crisis," said Gov. John Carney, who is running for a second term in office. "[We'll] stay focused on a healthy community and a strong economy. You can't be either/or; we have to have both."

Julianne Murray more information is needed on the acuity of the disease and who is really at risk instead of a general fearmongering throughout the greater population. "Mask wearing should be voluntary," she said. "Who we need to be concerned about here is our vulnerable population, and our vulnerable population is people with pre-existing conditions and the elderly."
