1. Similar to Oregon and what was just announced there

2. Utah is doing the same.

You'll never catch north or south dakota doing the right thing.

4. Utah is not

They issues a mask and social distancing order no stay at home order.

This order doesn’t require any business to close, but businesses and event hosts must require social distancing.

The order does not apply to churches.

It doesn’t require any schools to go online — despite a teachers union pushing for junior high and high schools to go virtual.

9. My bad!

I thought the governor had lowered the boom on everything and everybody. I guess that's too much to ask for them.

11. Yeah its the least the state could do

But apparently those two fasts by the predominate church turned out really well /sarcasm. I'm just glad I no longer live there!

3. Coronazona will probably be fully open for business.

Maybe Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico will limit interstate travel from Arizona.

5. Why don't these states mandate masks to begin with? It seems to me that

if everyone was wearing masks we wouldn't be in this frigging mess. And wearing masks is a lot easier than shutting everything down.

I agree masks in a bar are hard but perhaps they could serve drinks with the little straws and people could just move their masks to sip from glasses? That's what I do.

6. NM has mandated that. But too many people flaunt it. Too difficult to strictly enforce.

7. I wish we got text alerts - we get road closure texts sometimes

I think this is a little more important.

8. Excellent suggestion.

10. You might be able to check your county to see if they are sending them out

(apparently some counties in NM are doing that based on a quick search)

I am signed up here in Philly to both the PA and Philadelphia "Ready.gov" system and get text messages daily with the latest info!

12. Proud of our Governor.

Unfortunately, we have a lot of red leaning folks here who bash her every chance they get. They cannot seem to understand that the better we are at decreasing the spread of this virus and saving lives, the sooner we can return to full economic activity. I can understand their concern about paying rent and getting food on the table. That is why Moscow Mitch is will go down in history as the reason people's lives and businesses were upended, and our nation took the economic hit we did. He did not cause this virus but his unwillingness to pass the Hero's Act is indefensible. Shame on him and every Republican enabler in the Senate.
