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

AND D'Souza is a Trumpster. Geez, humblegunner.
Somebody's gotta educate you, HG. Might as well be Hadji.
Just think of yourself as Johnny Quest. It'll be fun and you still get to be the white man.
Catholic, as a matter of fact.
You are unbelievably ignorant , and a racist as well.

2020 - COVID Deaths - 138
2018 - Influenza Deaths - 365
Michelle Lujan Grisham served as Secretary of Health of New Mexico from 2004 to 2007.
Michelle Lujan Grisham was elected Governor in 2018.
During her 2018 campaign, she never indicated that influenza deaths required a state wide or regional lock down.
COVID deaths - existential threat.
Twice as many Influenza deaths - yawn.
I’ll give Gov Lujan Grishan a pass on this one. First off, it was the new and previous mayor, plus other city, county and state elected officals from that area that requested this. Second, with the town being a hot bed of the virus, think of the people on I-40 stopping for gas, supplies or even overnight. When they leave they would very likely carry the virus with them, including the Indians who come to shop and carry it back to the reservation.
On the other hand, the rest of the state continues to be locked down tight with only golf courses, some parks opened and some restrictions on non-essential services being lifted. Most counties aside from ABQ, Santa Fe, the Rio Grande corridor and the pueblo and Navajo reservation areas in the west central and northwest parts of the state have less than a dozen total cases of the virus and a couple still have none. She needs to open up these areas while focusing on those counties with heavy virus infection.
And Q is white. Maybe.

Politically Incorrect
One of the guests on the show, in which actors, pundits and the like engage in a kind of town meeting moderated by Maher, was Dinesh DSouza, an author and former policy analyst during the Reagan administration.
Bill, theres another piece of political correctness I want to mention, DSouza said at one point. And, although I think Bush has been doing a great job, one of the themes we hear constantly is that the people who did this are cowards.
Maher: Not true.
DSouza: Not true. Look at what they did. First of all, you have a whole bunch of guys who are willing to give their life. None of them backed out. All of them slammed themselves into pieces of concrete.
Maher: Exactly.
DSouza: These are warriors. And we have to realize that the principles of our way of life are in conflict with people in the world. And so--I mean, Im all for understanding the sociological causes of this, but we should not blame the victim. Americans shouldnt blame themselves because other people want to bomb them.
Maher: But also, we should--we have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. Thats cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, its not cowardly. Youre right.

Plus he's a fag. Check out the vest.
Here is the definition in New Mexico statutes from the “All Hazard Emergency Management” article:
“Upon request of the mayor of a municipality or the sheriff of a county or a majority of the members of the governing body of the municipality or county having jurisdiction and after finding that a public disorder, disaster or emergency which affects life or property exists in the state, the governor may proclaim a state of emergency in the area affected. The proclamation becomes effective immediately upon its signing by the governor, but the governor shall give public notice of its contents through the public press and other news media.”

The short title is “The Riot Control Act.”
Cause that one time you f'd up and got it wrong negates everything else you've ever thought, said, or written no matter how right it was.
I see how that works.
You are wise.
When working as an environmental technician for the state I spent time there in July 1979 and later following the radiological disaster at Church Rock a few miles away. That incident was the largest in the US exceeding Three Mile Island and probably the third largest known release of radiation (except for bomb tests) after Chernobyl in Russia and the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

I posted this information after watching the video of the doctors discussing how the Covid-19 death reportage is artificially inflated by listing patients WITH Covid, along with things like COPD and heart failure, as dying FROM Covid. I listened to Dr. Brix say on video, "...we don't have flu anymore". Yes - that's right, we stopped reporting ANY flu in her little talk. I've seen the distortions and along comes news at Gateway Pundit and several other twitter accounts including D'Souza starting to leak out the corrected data.

A strange area as Tony Hillerman wrote about.
Gallup, NM? Stayed there for 3 or 4 nights on a business trip. September, I think. Remember it snowing one morning.
(I'm not talking about Maher's last remark.)
D'Souza sure didn't come out pro-jihad. He just pointed out that the most inflamed, fanatical jihadis are not afraid to die. In fact they court death for the sake of their bogus booty reward in Islam Eternity.)
That doesn't make him sympathetic to jihadis. Quite the contrary. He said this: "Americans shouldnt blame themselves because other people want to bomb them.
