Cape Cod’s year-round residents, alarmed by an influx of out-of-state license plates amid the coronavirus outbreak, are petitioning for the shutdown of the Bourne and Sagamore bridges — to keep out vacation homeowners and avoid overwhelming their small hospitals.

A Change.org petition to close the bridges, which had nearly 5,000 signatures by Monday afternoon, states: “Stop the spread of covid-19 close the bridges. only year round residence, medical personnel. Trucks that deliver essential supplies. While we love our tourists and summer residents this is not the time to come to the cape, out hospital can’t handle it. We only have 2 small hospitals here on cape, and limited medical staff. keep the residences and elderly safe on cape.”

How about finish the wall on the border. You know so we can prevent the influx of illegal occupiers with possible known or unknown viruses?

The cape is a nice place. In 1985, I was vacationing on the cape. We (ex girlfriend, my friend, his now wife and myself) were spending a day in Provincetown, when a limo of transvestites pulled up to the city hall. My friend said, I guess there's a city council meeting tonight. We all cracked up. 😋

Meanwhile out West, the Navajo tribe is telling the white man to stay out of their sovereign lands.

All the New Yorkers fleeing to lovely places where there’s inadequate health care for a pandemic and less reliable delivery of food and other necessities reminds me of the guy who went to Guam or Guadalcanal (I can never remember which one) to avoid World War II. Anyone remember that story? I tried to look it up but no luck.

This telling them to respect the sovereign stats as they stream off the reservation crowding into reservation border towns, emptying store shelves so locals have nothing left to buy. It’s nothing to see 4 different states plates in a market parking lot as vehicles are filled to the brim leaving bare shelves behind. They exhibit no cognizance as to what social distancing is as they crowd and push their way in their crowds. Now they wonder why the tribal virus stats rival some entire states stats. The wonder of it all.
