I am personally particularly grateful to @GovAndyBeshear, the leader in the state where I and my family live, for taking this virus very seriously from the beginning. — PolitiTweet.org

Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr

I mentioned some political leaders (@JayInslee, @MikeDeWine, @WHCOS, @JoeBiden), public health leaders (Anthony Fauci, @DrKhaldun, Lisa Pivec, Amy Acton, @nirav_mainecdc), scientists (@BarneyGrahamMD, @KizzyPhD) and Adam Silver. But a lot of other people deserve praise too. — PolitiTweet.org

Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr

Also, the nation’s governors deserve a lot of praise. They have generally overseen the vaccine process, which as my colleague @MaxBoot wrote recently, is perhaps the most important achievement of American governance in recent memory. — PolitiTweet.org

Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr

I want to particularly highlight America’s health care professionals. More health care workers died of COVID (around 3600) over the last year than American service people in Afghanistan since 2001 (around 2300.) This has been a kind of war and they are on the frontlines. — PolitiTweet.org

I wrote up a list of leaders and institutions that have done an exemplary job during the pandemic---”all-stars” if you will. Obviously, this is not a full compilation of everyone who has done great work. https://t.co/v68o2tk8Zb — PolitiTweet.org
