Listen, we've got an extraordinary state. And we've got as big a heart as any state in America. There's a lot of anxiety, understandably, and our job is to be straight with people, to make sure they know we're going to get through this…
We've got to break the back of this curve. We've got to flatten it. If we do that, we take pressure off our health care system. While this may be painful, the alternative is a lot more painful.
We need boots on the ground. That's part of the reason we called up the National Guard.
We simply don't need to risk the health and vitality of our coastal communities for the sake of putting more fossil fuels into our energy mix.
