“As of Thursday, McKinley County had 1,027 reported cases of COVID-19.”
Roughly 1 in 70 people in that county are infected. Roughly 1 in 50 in NYC.
So why the martial law in Gallup?
Because the short little SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer gubbner says so. She's calling out the National Guard to enforce the closure.
As usual the entire city will suffer because the problem as plain as her buckteeth is the Navajo tribal members, BUT instead of closing access to the city by reservation road, she shuts all the citizens in.
The Navajo President this week asked all reservation members to stay on the rez, which is ignored as they all need to shop. The navajos have closed the reservation completely for 4 weekends and have had a nightly curfew for 4 weeks, but the positive tests are still skyrocketing. The tribal closure affected rez land in 3 states without abating, but this fool of a guvner cannot see closures haven't worked and is screeching that "social distancing is not being done so I will force it". What a democrat putz.
Just read another article here on FR. Apparently the death rate is very high. The article was about a family of three dying from China flu in that county.
If Wikipedia is right the population of Gallup New Mexico is 21,678... seems odd. Then again NM’s Governor would need 60 IQ points to reach ‘retarded’.
In my county outside of NYC, it's about 1 in 35.
Is that based on current testing? The testing did not represent the population who had it. I believe NYC is something like 25 percent on the population based on the antibody studies. Thus it is more like 1 in 4 or 1 in 5.
I suspect the same could be said for this area too.
Further, as this is a highly contagious virus, things can get out of control extremely quick and the limited hospital resources the area had would be smoked of they aren’t already.
Cause NYC didn’t have the balls. Really once you’re getting below 1 in 100 that’s bad, that probably needs a little extra oomph.
“So why the martial law in Gallup?”
Because Gallup has a population of morons.
I’ve driven through it 1000 times in my life, and stopped only when I had little kids that had to pee.
