COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

I mean, if she cancelled Mardi Gras while the president was telling everyone it's just the flu and the threat to Americans is low, there were no cases in New Orleans at the time because no testing was made available. If she cancelled, she would have had her head rolled. Not that NOLA ever needs an excuse to screw the pooch.
Is she elected and paid to lead or follow? Ultimately who is responsible for the citizens she was elected to serve? I get it....people want to blame the feds but there's enough responsibility and blame to go around. I'm never a fan of someone not taking self responsibility.
