More crap from our RadDem governor.

BUT the NM Dept. of Health just announced this afternoon another 2,897 new cases, up from 2,112 on Wednesday. (New Mexico COVID-19 update: 2,897 new cases, totaling 70,451, 26 deaths). At this rate, we'll all have herd immunity in a couple of weeks!

Where are these numbers coming from? Are they being generated by Dominion software after reporting from counties and hospitals? The numbers are too staggering to be believed on their face!

Oh yeah; sure.

If history is willing to repeat, this kind of situation usually leads to mobs tearing down the walls that keep them from what THEY decide they need.

Because, in New Mexico’s [mental] case, Gov. PollyAnna’s harsh measures will expire, while SARS-2-CoV will not; and all she will have achieved, is creating misery, or trouble, or both, for a couple weeks.

Given that, with cooler weather, mucus and sinus flows increase, and are more easily spread - from October thru April.

I am suggesting that a lighter touch, by her highness, has the better chance of some improvement.

She excluded gun stores AGAIN. Illegal.

And a positive on a PCR test is being called “a case”. Nothing is further from the truth.

[PGalt]

Any “essentials” / troops could easily be transported around to a neighborhood near you in Amazon Prime trucks to take care of us “non-essentials”.

How much risk can there be from Animal Grooming Services?

This is just stooped.

None of those things will help I think—covid spreads easily within Hispanic households which are often more than 6 people per household which is very correlated with spread.

The city in my county with the most cases per 100,000 (400 cases) is also the most Hispanic. My city has only 80 cases and is one of the least Hispanic in my county (and slightly rural which also helps).

[LegendHasIt]

No kidding.

I ran into town for a bit, and every ten minutes on the radio, they were running the 'emergency alert sirens' like the Russian Nukes or tornadoes are coming. and announcing "Shelter in place! wear your mask everywhere, No travel unless absolute emergency..... Etc.."

If the entire Chinese Air Force was flying over NM spraying Anthrax I doubt they would be trying to induce panic as much as they are now.

On the bright side, no one in town seemed the slightest bit concerned, everyone calm, friendly and not giving a damn what Governorlissima Lujan and her media minions say.

I even got more compliments than usual on my

mask.

Whatever a “lockdown” is supposed to accomplish will not happen if there are all sorts of exceptions to it. As long as people can go to Walmart or the hardware store whenever they want, it’s not a lockdown at all.

Even if one state were to do a true lockdown, the virus will still be present everywhere else, and will return to that state as soon as the lockdown is lifted. Virus gonna virus.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They lie about the numbers and then use their lies as justification for more crackdowns.

[FlyingEagle]

Gosh, much empathy for the New Mexico residents. This is just awful.

Is anyone else getting Gov L-G’s stupid text alerts on their phone? “Shelter in place except for emergency needs. EXTREME virus risk.” And I’m getting them literally every 5mins of the day! Once is enough, thanks. We’re leaving our East Mountains abode this weekend & heading about 1300 miles east until the lockdown is over. And I’ll be sure to keep my phone off so L-G can’t track me...
