Anna Hagele typically shops for groceries for her and her four children at the Walmart Supercenter on Herrera Drive in Santa Fe because she likes the prices.
However, on Friday, Hagele found herself waiting in a line of 40 people outside a local Albertsons, after the state announced Wednesday the Herrera Drive Walmart would be closed for the next two weeks – one of a dozen grocery stores in New Mexico closed in recent weeks due to multiple cases of COVID-19 among workers.
The Herrera Drive Walmart is one of three grocery stores currently closed in Santa Fe under an edict that allows the New Mexico Department of Health to close workplaces down for two weeks if they have four or more COVID-19 rapid responses in a 14-day period.
Each of the three groceries closed in Santa Fe serves residents on the city’s Southside, leaving fewer choices for food in an area already starving for options.

You might be onto something. Genius heh.
Pretty sure our buddy former super spy valerie plame doesn’t have a problem getting her groceries.
I did read something earlier about that.

Yup. Currently 300+ million US citizens haven’t died or contracted CV19.
And it is not working.
Recent immigration is a net drain on the economy due to very high participation rates in the welfare system.
The oligarchy benefits from suppressing wages and undermining the job market. It is very much at the expense of the former middle-class wage earners. This is a "liquidating economy" which ends with an impoverished peasantry ruled by a small and fabulously wealthy aristocracy.
We have seen this movie before.
Yup. Moved to ABQ in ‘63. Left in ‘67 after I joined the Navy. Lived there a few years after I got out of the Navy but couldn’t go there now if I wanted to.
They’ve managed to make so many people hysterical about this.
The PCR testing is wildly inaccurate, but everybody insists on testing asymptomatic people. So a whole bunch of people test “positive”, and the critical businesses are forced to shut down.
Now people are in a panic and will start hoarding Beanie Weenies and Funions all over again (and probably induce Diabetes sitting at home stuffing their face).
We’re now 6 months or so into a “2 Week Flatten The Curve”. To prevent the hospitals from being overwhelmed.
We also went from “Don’t Wear A Mask, They Don’t Work, You’re Scaring People” and “Go To Parades, Go To Restaurants, Hug A Chinaman” to “Wear a Mask Or We’ll Throw You In Jail And Maybe Shoot You.”
It is deadly, but this is just insanity fueled by ignorance wrapped around authoritarian control freak twatwaffles. About half of America will get the bug, there’s no way around this. Government can not stop a virus. It isn’t a death sentence for most people.
Sometime in the last few months people have somehow been persuaded or convinced that they have to avoid this particularl virus or they will die, that it is possible to avoid this virus, and further, that a vaccine will protect them, and should be required, lockdowns work, the economy doesn’t matter, and herd immunity, what’s that?
We don’t hear anything about other strategies to be employed, or the proximate cause of this to begin with, just endless passive aggressive twaddle from the usual fake news outlets.
A re-arrangment of property ownership, sponsored by associations of realtors, lawyers (invested), judges (invested), political party bosses (invested), China (invested), liberal suburbia for Biden (invested), etc.
More debt means more failures and thus, a flow of properties to those vested interests.
IOW, get property, cheap.
Like under Saddam Hussien.
One months supply of food per family and heaven help you if you were found with more.
Control the food supply and you control the masses.
I am staggered that they are doing this right before the holidays.
I am praying that the media gets held accountable when the fur flies. I do strongly think the fur will fly.
So I’ll assume you live in Lower Slobovia.
Don’t forget to stock up on toilet paper. Remember what happened last time. ;D
We had to have TB tests and health cards, where I worked my first job as a teenager for a big company. That was back in the Stone Age, when dinosaurs walked the earth.
Then, why did they test positive?
Alabama
There is no reason to close the store. It is very unlikely that any customers became infected by the workers. I am gonna assume the health police have been unable to track the grocery workers as a source for infections of customers.
It is not a matter of the store being more hazardous. It is a matter of a store of that size has a lot of workers a certain percentage of whom will test positive. As would probably a certain percentage of shoppers.
Grocery stores take multiple precautions to prevent contamination. They are also an essential service. I would consider them low risk environments as far as getting the virus from the store or workers. The risk would be from getting it from other customers. But that risk must be weighed against having an essential service available to those who depend on its products.
A better idea would be to limit occupancy and to offer special shopping hours for certain at risk persons.
You stay open, your employees get paid, people can shop, and you stick a finger in the eye of the New Mexico regime. Gotta stay open, it ain't like these half these people are paying with anything other than SNAP.
Thanks!
