Is there a report that shows which governors used drastic measures and which party they are from? Someone said that the democrat governors want this to be a mess until the election. Any support to that statement?

Every politician wants this become an election issue. They want to be able to show how strong their leadership was during this crisis to show they're needed to stay in power. Or they want to be able to point to every failure of their opponent so that they can be given power.

Our governor, who is republican, has ordered a shut down of non essential things. We can still get food as far as I know but not much more than that. I think the Montana governor, who is democrat, has also ordered a shutdown. Those who are using this for political or any other kind of gain should be thrown out. I doubt that will happen however.

A few days ago I tried to look at it. It was mostly Democrat governors who ordered shutdowns.

Our Idaho Governor is quite conservative but ordered a state wide shelter in place order. This virus is not partisan and I think the reactions to it, as the infection continues to spread, will be less partisan as well.
