80% of Wyoming's voters won't hear about that, including 90% of Republican voters. Of the 10% of GOP voters who do, over half will agree that while the state GOP is corrupt, they are better than socialist Democrats.

 

This is why Biden shouldn't implement a mandatory mask mandate or anything of that nature. He should, instead, create a program that states have to qualify to join in order to receive any federal relief money. The qualifications for the program should then be set by the CDC, directly, and still include some combination of a mask mandate, social distancing/indoor gathering restrictions. Labling it a program states can join would be more politically palatable than a broad mandate that everyone is just going to ignore. It also allows Biden to avoid states just giving COVID-19 money to big business or going back on his promise help every state regardless of who they voted for.

There won't be federal relief money

 

Probably not, but if there were that's how it should be doled out. There likely won't be actual stimulus money, but red states are going to need money soon, especially with all the evictions coming and local hospitals being overrun.

The entire state is locking down starting on Wednesday. The whole state for at least 2 weeks, Multnomah/Washington/Clackamas counties (Portland) for at least 4 weeks. Restaurants are back to take-out only (the bar I work at will likely just close temporarily), gyms/salons/barbers are closed, church gatherings are limited to 25 indoors/50 outdoors, grocery stores are limited to 75% capacity

 

Unemployment is hopefully not going to be as big of a shit show this time. Maybe that's why they aren't putting the measures in place until Wednesday.

 

edit: The fucked up thing is that you KNOW restaurants and bars will be packed as much as possible for the next few days. Yay.

Illinois is likely trending the same way. Restaurants already closed to indoor eating, though some have defied the governor's orders.

 

Wonder what happened between the start of November and now. Seems like things had at least held somewhat steady from August-October with limited indoor eating and gyms and such. Shit spiked hard and fast. Wonder if in-person voting was a trigger.

For the states that are just NOW starting a 10pm curfew for restaurants/etc, mask requirements, et al

 

In oregon, we've had mandatory masks indoors for months, and restaurants/bars have had to close at 10 since we reopened in June or whenever that was. It didn't seem to be enough.

I think it's something about vaccines.

 

 

 

Hopefully forcibly vaccinate the Trump family and his circle of bootlickers then let Mark Meadows or whoever else is currently infected go around and start coughing on all of them for a live test.

Up until a few weeks ago, my wife was entertaining the idea of driving up to Washington to see my side of the family for Thanksgiving.  Even if WA didn't institute this quarantine policy, given the recent spike in cases, she changed her mind, thankfully.

 

I feel bad for our daughter though.  She hasn't gotten to see her grandparents or cousins since last Christmas.

I'll find it kind of funny the last couple days before lockdown at the restaurant (assuming we close outright and don't do takeout). The reason the governor delayed lockdown until wed. was so restaurants could burn through their inventory.

 

"Can I get a salad?"

"Nope."

"Can I get a chicken sandwich?"

"Nah, but popeyes has some."

"What CAN I get?"

"You can get the fuck out of here so I can go home and not get covid from your bitch ass "

The problem with these stories is so few of these guys end up like Herman Cain.
