    Well, the state of NM disagrees. I'll take their word for it, and it only stands to reason.

    We're not prepared to depend on testing. Biden will fix that.

    I take little solace knowing that only 54.3%-57.2% of the passengers were useful idiots, when a state's (or country's) entire ship sinks.

    Kind of ironic when Trump supporters call out blight in the inner cities. I've been to ft huachuca, yeah there are some very poor people out there.

    Well food apparently isn't "essential" in New Mexico now.

    The Democrats are a **** show for this nation. People are going to have to learn the hard way, like there in New Mexico and here in California, if you elect Democrats, expect your life to suck. They are about power and control.

    I can't believe that stupid Democrat did this the week of Thanksgiving. It's insane, but the Democrat voters have went so far off the deep end already that they don't recognize insane. They love being told what to do in their lives. They hate personal responsibility.

    It is nice to be comfortably numb to the predicament of others.

    You don't know what you are talking about. The locals are freaking out. They have ENORMOUS lines to get into a Grocery Store now. People are taking in multiple baskets and the shelves are being emptied. Way to strike fear in peoples' hearts and ruin Thanksgiving.

    I can't believe anyone is defending it.

    OMG! People may have a 99.96% chance of dying!!!! OMG!!! CLOSE IT ALL DOWN!!!!

    You don't mind someone else picking out your apples, avocados, lettuce, etc? All I can think about when I see those people waiting for their grocery slave to come out with their order, is lazy. I walked inside Kroger one time, passed my sister who didn't feel like walking around and getting her own groceries, said hey to her and then went shopping. I came out with a cart full of groceries and she was still sitting there waiting for the grocery slave to pick her order and bring it out.

    Perhaps you could now answer the questions?
    12 grocery stores our of how many in New Mexico?

    If the customers are not mobile then how are they getting to those stores that are to be closed?

    I will use the same excuse Trump supporting cons used to try and stop people voting by mail.

    If these folks have cars and are capable of walking in grocery store aisles, they can take themselves to another store that is not closed for Covid outbreak.

    My folks live in a small town and drive 30 miles one way to choose to shop at larger stores then the local grocery where they live. These folks can do the same. This is not the end of the world.

    What would you do with irresponsible businesses--leave them open to make people sick?

    Exposed to infection and "infected" are not the same. Everyone gets exposed. Not everyone gets infected, especially in socially-distanced, face-to-face interactions under 15 minutes.

    NM's test positivity rate is under 6%. That's relatively low compared to some states whose governors still consider provision of food to be "essential business".

    I don't thin you get it. Perhaps if you read the words from people actually living through it.

    Democrat leaders are ****ing evil.

    Get what? 12 grocery stores out of thousands closed for two weeks is hardly a major catastrophe. People like moaning especially those with an agenda

    If Blue Governors are a prediction of things to come, Biden will "fix things," by driving millions more Americans into poverty, joblessness, and food insecurity to save them from a virus with a 99.8% survival rate. Good plan. Creating dependence appears to be the globalist plan so buckle up.

    Why are you assuming customers were the culprits? More likely it was someone who workers there spreading it.

    Keep the stores open. You can go through them at night with a steamer and 222 UV Lights to kill any virus.

    She needs to change stores.
    I order on the net, set a time for the next day, pick them up.
    Whole thing including the order takes about 20 minutes. I never wait more than about 5 minutes for my order.
    Probably 9 of 10 things I buy are the same every time.
    The nice program keeps track of those things for me.
    PS.
    You should wash your produce before you eat it. Especially the lettuce. Otherwise you might get sammy nilla.
