For months, Governor Jared Polis and other state officials have been accused of picking winners and losers through public-health orders announced to stop the spread of COVID-19. Polis's decision to shut down bars and clubs statewide mere weeks after their limited reopenings has renewed that criticism — and it's likely to continue with news that he's now extended Colorado's emergency order to thirty days from July 6
...
Now comes more fuel for the fire: a just-released study that found Colorado has the second-most restrictive COVID-19 rules among the fifty states and the District of Columbia.
...
Colorado's current overall ranking of 50 out of 51 is based on a complex methodology (more on that below). The latest data shows the state to be above average for restrictions in four of the six major categories:
...
the state is putting undue burdens on citizens and businesses
...
Requirement to Wear a Face Mask in Public
...
Travel Restrictions:
...
Large Gatherings Restrictions
...
Statewide School Restart
...
Reopening of Restaurants and Bars
...
State Guidance on Customer Health Checks at Restaurants
...
Reopening of Non-Essential Businesses:

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
There are a lot of Colorado people who are outdoors and are not wearing masks. Indoors, there are lots of small businesses where people either are or are not wearing masks. Metro Denver is a checker board pattern of masks or non-masks. Grocery Stores are at about 99.9 % mask wearing.
Very helpful link.
Thank you!
Not too much hassle out here in the toolies, but I’m about done with this.
They don’t care if you are oxygen compromised such as asthma, copd, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis or atherosclerosis/heart disease...no mask..get out.
And if you look at the boxes of masks...made in china...it tells you that the mask is for dust or moisture and doesn’t filter out virusis.
I spoke with a nurse yesterday after my surgery and she is aware of he inadequacies of the masks. But she said also that some nurses had to wear n95 respirators 12 hours a day and they were having severe bruising and other injuries from them.
When i go into the hospital/clinics, i just hold the mask in my hands and nobody says anything. If they do, i just tell them i was just leaving and thhey go about their business.
Kansas has reinstated more restrictive policies again also. The ADA is out the window.
How are things at Denver’s airport?
So ... now it’s a contest to see who is the least American ?
“Not too much hassle out here in the toolies, but I’m about done with this.”
Yep, same here. I wear a tube around my neck in the ‘mask’ places and that has done the trick so far. I really thought Abbott would be better than this.
I was the only one in the grocery store without a mask today. No one said anything. I also talked to a local gendarme day before yesterday, me without a mask, at the local creek and park, where the signs say a mask is required. We just talked about how hot it was.
“he’s now extended Colorado’s emergency order to thirty days from July 6”
Seriously, what should the governor do once he saw the sudden huge spike in economic activity?
“Isn’t the Westword on the level of the Babylon bee?”
No, the Bee is brilliant.
Westword is an fake Village Voice with cowboy boots on.
Polis figures he needs the tightest rules because we don’t follow stupid rules very well.
We’ve got so much public land and water around here things aren’t bad. Our case load doesn’t look that bad to me. Colorado latest 3 day average of daily deaths was zero. I wish Polis would defer to the counties on restrictions, but Democrats love that centralized planning.
Polllis predicted 8,000+ deaths in CO from COVID. Actual to date under 1,000.
Lord Polis has scraped the bottom of the barrel counting people that came in contact with a positive covis as a positive and anyone have some of the symptoms as a positive. Colds and regular flue seem to be counted as having the plandemic. A local talk show got a fake news rating form fakebook for posting a CDC article. CDC is now fake news in Polus Colorado.
I wrote “THIS IS BULLSHIT” on my mask and wear it where they insist.
Hope yer good!
Moving the goal line / bullies never stop on their own.
You are welcome.
Hopefully, more people will revolt from the unconstitutional orders.
