Without a doubt one of the dumbest things I have ever seen a politician do.

Wolf announced they would be closing in 2 days, which set off an absolute STAMPEDE of booze hoarders. Likely far more virus was spread in those 2 days than if they had just remained open with normal traffic levels.

If you are going to ask people to sit at home and stare at the walls it would help some of them to be a bit sedated.

I absolutely agree and can’t wrap my head around that sort of thinking. It reminds me of Walmart going from a 24/7 operation to having 7-8:30 hours. By having fewer hours that you are opened, wouldn’t that create the likelihood of larger groups shopping at the same time?

which set off an absolute STAMPEDE of booze hoarders

I went to drop off some boxes at local USPS -- which was prudent enough to leave doors open so no need to push/pull door handles -- and also swung by the CPV (Communist Party of Virginia) liquor store. It was about 11:58am, and there was a small crowd of people outside the store. Curios, I asked about, and someone yelled, "opens at noon!"

Okay, whatever, so VA has limited store hours in order to -- uh, concentrate customers? I went back to my car and did some work on my tablet for 20 minutes, awaiting the 20 other people to leave. When I entered, I was the only one, and I was able to grab the two remaining JD 1.75 bottles...
