Colorado Public Radio: In this pandemic, it seems no one wants to be the villain.

Not Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who has resisted issuing a new lockdown order even as infections, hospitalizations and deaths rise to record or near-record levels.

Not state public health officials, who created a new half-step of restrictions rather than impose new “stay-at-home” orders.

And definitely not the leaders of local governments, whose own actions are under intense scrutiny, and who hear directly from voters anytime they advocate for tougher rules — or resist them.
