“Take this virus seriously … Don’t wait for the illness and death it delivers to arrive on your doorstep.” –Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham
SANTA FE – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered state flags to half-staff this afternoon for a week of mourning in recognition of the state of New Mexico recording 1,000 COVID-19 fatalities.
The state Department of Health today reported 13 additional COVID-19 fatalities, the most deaths reported in the state in a single day of the pandemic, bringing the state’s total to 1,007.
The state reported its first COVID-19 fatality March 25.
The state of New Mexico today also reported 334 individuals are hospitalized in the state with COVID-19, the eighth consecutive day the state set a new record for total COVID-19 hospitalizations.
According to the Department of Health’s latest epidemiology report on COVID-19 hospitalizations, more than 17 percent of all COVID-19 patients in New Mexico who have been hospitalized did not survive.
Per the governor’s order, state flags will be lowered Monday, Nov. 2, to sundown Friday, Nov. 6.
The governor issued the following statement:
“One thousand New Mexican lives lost is an unfathomable tragedy. For many months now, the daily drumbeat of a few more deaths, a few more deaths has served to diminish the acute feeling of loss. But it is tragic and real for me, every single day, because it is tragic and real for the New Mexican families with an empty seat at the table, a hole in their hearts that will never be filled. I pray for these families every single day. I ask you to please join me in praying for them – and acting to prevent any more needless loss.
“We cannot allow ourselves to become numb. These are not numbers, they are not merely data points. They are mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, neighbors, educators, first responders, nurses, doctors, business-owners, entrepreneurs. Every one of these 1,000 New Mexicans was loved by someone. Every one of these 1,000 lost New Mexicans leaves a hole in a family, a community, our state. I grieve with them. New Mexico grieves with them.
“We can and will rebuild our mainstreets. We can and will restore our economy. We can and will recover the jobs and livelihoods that have been lost in the economic turmoil unleashed by the virus. But we cannot replace these souls, these lives, these loved ones. We cannot replace you. And the risk our state, our hospitals and our communities face has never, ever been greater than it is right now.
“I plead with New Mexicans: Take this virus seriously. Don’t wait for the illness and death it delivers to arrive on your doorstep, within your family, to take the precautions we know work. Recommit to the mindset we all had in March and April and May: No errand is worth your life, no visit with friends and family is worth their lives. Please, fight through the impulse to surrender to the virus, to fatigue, to whatever it might be. Please, honor the 1,000 lives we have already lost in our state, honor their grieving loved ones by recommitting to common-sense, life-saving public health practices. Stay home. Wear your mask when you must go out. Wash and sanitize your hands. You will save a life. You will have done your part to protect our state.”
And actually that article is full of lies. The numbers they quote don’t match with official releases.
My daughter lives in Albuquerque. She is so disgusted because they have been on lock down for sooo long. Evidently it’s not working.
Whose bright idea was it to give women the right to vote?

BREAKING:
Chinese Communist Newspaper ENDORSES JOE BIDEN
24News ^ | 08-20-2020 | Joe Callen
by Joe Callen No folks, this is NOT ‘The Onion.’ The Global Times is a daily tabloid newspaper and voice of the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing.On Thursday (China time), on the same day as Joe Biden’s much anticipated Democrat Party convention speech, the Chinese Communist newspaper endorsed Joe Biden for President of the United States.
The Global Times says Joe Biden may reactivate the job-killing TPP and the Iran nuclear deals pushed by the Obama administration. China is rooting for a weak America. Trump is rooting for a strong America.
This was quite an endorsement.
Via The Global Times:
In political campaigns while the use of Social Electronic Formats are useful in presenting political positions. Relying solely on using those venues is a mistake because of their SEF content limitations and media bias .
Consideration of the use of reprinted material including handouts and flyers such as of articles in FR and the planning of area saturation distribution known as “blitzing” in the targeted area is essential of one wants to win.

It’s political.
That question was asked by a number of state senators in an extensive letter to the heads of the NM Health Dept and NM Environment Department. The answer was that the treatment wasn't approved by the FDA (emergency authorization rescinded?) and evidence of efficacy hasn't been proven. They then withdrew use of it's approval for treatment. In other words, according to them it's about as useful as a placebo. But they are using remisovir (sp) which is an expensive drug and recently its efficacy has been questioned also.
Posturing fools
Good comment and true. Thanks.
Explain this to GOD
Nice to have political hacks and drama queens in power. These libs are nuts. Let’s cut the poles in half since the flag goes down for everything now.
