4. Gov. Baker HAS done a very good job.

He has been cautious all the way through. Mass. was one of the hardest-hit states starting right off at the outset. Baker made all the right decisions, closing schools, businesses and government offices in mid-March, and announcing a stay-home advisory for nonessential workers. It's been a long haul getting it under control and it's still trickling along. Massachusetts engaged in a regional approach with New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, and like those states is now going through phased reopenings with certain restrictions.

Baker deserves a lot of credit. I am especially impressed with the resourceful way he enlisted the New England Patriots to use their aircraft to fly to China and pick up an order of face masks for medical workers after the Trump administration seized Massachusett's incoming PPE order from the docks.
