New Mexico Gov Shuts Down Grocery Stores ...

[StitchJones]

There are still plenty of places to buy food in New Mexico. A relatively few Covid soaked places have been closed down for a couple weeks so they can decontaminate themselves.
What's the big deal?

Not sure what you're talking about. I am in Carlsbad two weeks a month and I can assure you this is having drastic affects on many of the locals.

People are waiting in lines hours and there is little available when they get inside.

Are you in character and this is satire?.... or are you honestly apologizing for this? Hard to tell.

They did this in Lawton back in April and May. We had a field day with the mayor/city council. They issued a mask order with instructions how to make one with a bandana, but their essentials only mandate made bandanas off-limits because they're 'apparel'.

Maybe a little of both. I'm not convinced that people are starving because the Walmart in Albuquerque is closed for a couple of weeks. I may be wrong, and I'm not saying that I'm unequivocally hand-on-the-Bible right. I'm just posting on OSA.

The cognitive dissonance is strong in this thread. Maybe we can find some live webcam feeds to determine what is really happening.

Are the taco trucks still functioning in Las Cruces? That's really all I need to know.

Shutting down a food distribution warehouse is a big issue.

They've closed the buffet in area 51.
The situation is dire.

From what I've seen in New Mexico and in Oklahoma, most of the residents have plenty of reserves to fall back on for a good while. A calorie deficit might even reduce the diabetes rates.
