New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham invoked the state's Riot Control Act on Friday to essentially lock down the city of Gallup after its mayor requested that she do so on Thursday. Under the act, all roads leading into Gallup are now closed off "to mitigate the uninhibited spread of COVID-19 in that city."
"Effective at 12 p.m., May 1, all roads into Gallup are closed. Businesses in the city of Gallup will close from 5 p.m. through 8 a.m. Vehicles may only have a maximum of two individuals. Residents of the city should remain at home except for emergency outings and those essential for health, safety and welfare," Grisham's office said in a press release.
Gallup, a city of nearly 22,000 people about 100 miles west of Albuquerque, has been particularly affected by the coronavirus. As of Friday, McKinley County, where Gallup is located, had 1,027 confirmed cases and 19 deaths, according to the New Mexico Department of Health. The county now has the highest number of cases in all of New Mexico, which has 3,411 cases in total.
According to Grisham's press release, McKinley County has "more than 30 percent of the state's total positive COVID-19 cases and the most positive cases in the entire state, outstripping even far more populous counties."
"Its infection trend has shown no sign of flattening," the release said. "The county has reported an additional 207 positive cases in the last two days alone, more than every other county in the state has reported total over the length of the pandemic save three." MORE AT LINK

I think you are off by one order of magnitude. 220 would be 1%.
The link to CDC isn’t foreign and the table was taken from that CDC site today.
People have been arrested for that since the lockdowns began.
See post #1 referencing Dinesh D’Souza.
You posted it, you must have felt it relevant.
Saw post #1. If peeps despise Dinesh, they may skip him and go with the CDC link and table.
Every single one of those names matches exactly with names of places in the United States of America. What are the chances?
Are they welding the Indians into their teepees?
Nothing in or out? No food deliveries for 22,000 people?

“Check my math”
Your math is off. Try .08%.
If it had been 22 people, it would have been 1 in 1000, or 0.1%. It’s just a bit less.
