God love Dr. Birx for her military service, but granting commissary punchcard passes probably isn’t going to translate well to civilian shoppers.
In Guatemala they are limiting traffic by license plates. No word on what happens if you don’t own a car - maybe by city block? India goes by curfew, foreigners looking for food not exempted from caning. Papers please.
I guess I could see it in hotspots, for a week, but nation-wide, eh, not. And it kind of goes against the whole social distancing, stay out of lines and groups, thing.
I stopped in at the MCEX at Miramar back when they had all the quarantined folks there. Half the customers in the Exchange were CDC folks and the one in front of me at the cashier was buying at least a dozen pairs of designer sunglasses and the one behind me was buying a Coach purse and perfume. I’m pretty sure that’s wasn’t the purpose of giving them commissary privileges. Rather than give people access to the commissary, and push out those who earned that privileged, just use some part of that 2 Trillion $ bill to buy them bags of essential food items.
