> shutting down the state economy for nearly 2 years

My dear sweet summer child. We had a deadly, highly contagious, global pandemic going on. Was she supposed to simply ignore it? Silly child. If she'd done that, you would have been upset when everyone around you died from Covid because she didn't do enough. Governor Mills was in an impossible situation. She still is as people blame her for things that are not in her control.

Did we even shut down the economy? I feel like things went back to a little below normal in about a year or so.

Indeed. We hit the pause button, tried to minimize loss of life (Gods forbid)... But the economy chugged along.
