• Keep voting blue, Delaware. — Mike Schwander
• Great job, Joe, and we lose more jobs than we gain yearly, too! — Matty Cerillo
• So we went straight to blaming Biden before his inauguration? Interesting that the current POTUS is not held accountable. — Dana Theresa Mazzetti
• Guess we blame Delaware’s problems on a guy in politics four years, not the guy in for 47-plus years. We lost all our factories on Joe’s watch as our senator.— Matty Cerillo
• You would think with national issues like this, someone might mention the failures of the leader of the free world. — William Mazzariello
• Get us out of this state of emergency and let people earn their money, so they don’t have to rely on handouts. We’re tired of scraping by because of Democrats’ ineptitude.— Daniel Korup

• Meanwhile, the neighbor to the north is cranking up testing. People who complain about Gov. Carney need to experience life under Gov. Wolf to appreciate what they have. — Steven Robert
• All my old friends in Florida have already received their vaccinations if they wanted it. — Bob Beckman
• My point was in Pennsylvania, they made a big announcement that a local TV station carried that said they were ramping up testing, while everyone else is doing vaccinations. — Steven Robert
• I was able to get my vaccine yesterday. I cannot say enough about how well this event was run. It was as efficient as the Chick-fil-A drive-thru. And I can’t think of a compliment higher than that. Thank you to everyone working out there. All the workers were friendly, knowledgeable and knew how to get the job done. Way to go, Delaware! — Melissa Reinsfelder Yoder
• Totally agree. It was so well-organized. We were very impressed. —Laurel Sadusky Nash
