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.
