Gov. Jared Polis urged Coloradans to “please don’t be stupid” at a news conference Wednesday.
“Engage in social distancing,” Polis said. “What you're doing is you're jeopardizing the lives of your friends and their families and their relatives. So be smart here."
Polis also nodded at the possibility of longer closures for K-12 schools, many of which are currently on extended springs breaks. He suggested schools could be closed through the scheduled end of the school year. No final decision has been made, and no order issued, but such an extended statewide shutdown would be unprecedented in the state.
“We want to set expectations again with the schools. There will be additional actions in that area,” Polis said. “And while it's possible that school might return this year, it's increasingly unlikely.”
Polis expressed frustration with reports that some Coloradans are ignoring the “social distancing” guidelines which recommend that people remain six feet apart in social settings to prevent spread of the virus. He urged people to find other ways to connect.
“Again, socialize but socialize virtually on FaceTime," he said. "Call your friends on conference calls. Use the online applications that allow for groups of people to talk. Don't, don't be dumb here and think you're getting away with something just because the cops aren't able to shut you down.”

He’s interfering with our lifestyle choices. Bigot.
Polis is a weirdo, but drugged libertarianism has become the Calirado way, too.
Colo. looks like a Hot Spot.
Has a single Mayor in the USA attacked the risks of the drug addicted homeless people that fill the streets of our cities?
Talk about Stupid....
Does polispolesmoker ride bareback with his “wife”? He should social distance himself from decent people.
“About the same time Polis was speaking, Boulder County health officials provided evidence of the need for social distancing, releasing details of a University of Colorado student who tested positive for COVID-19 after attending several St. Patrick’s Day parties in the town. Photos posted online showed students pressed in closely at events, ignoring the widely disseminated guidelines to avoid crowds and maintain distance.”
For people who can see the map, it shows over 200 cases in Colorado so far. The Brave browser works for me.

FUBAR the world....
The more these communist democrat pieces of used food open the word holes on their faces, the happier I am knowing that they are hopelessly outnumbered by people like us.
They’re just giving up their positions.
Making it easy.
Not much longer now.
The stupid people created the shutdown stampede.
Colorado PING!
Not only is it in the Front Range, it looks like it wraps around through Ski Country to Pitkin County and maybe Crested Butte.
They voted him into office so yeah they’re stupid
Governor, if they were smart, they would never have voted for you.
It started in the ski areas here.
Really?
Do you have any links to the time line?
Yes. Did you see the news about the ski resorts being closed? I don’t remember what day it was.
I saw it. Governator driven.
Then Aspen and Vail co’s shut down their out of State resorts.
