There have been numerous reports about a new wave of COVID-19 compliance dictates from the state ministry of social conformity. Specifically, there are reports of rules about not allowing your family to gather for Thanksgiving, and/or limiting the number of guests; and/or requiring masks to be worn inside; and/or even forcing guests to bring their food.
All of this sounds like abject nonsense; however, there are also reports of local police and law enforcement being empowered to “enforce” the COVID Compliance dictates. However, as with California Governor Gavin Newsom, do not expect the COVID tyrants to adhere to their own dictates. [STORY] Rules are for the proles comrades.
So with all of that said, what is the current state of COVID compliance dictatorship in your state, county, city, town or neighborhood?
What are the rules around you for this holiday season?
There is a good argument to be made that forcing people to stay apart is one outcome of purpose for COVID-19. The enforced non-assembly rules are historically a part of all totalitarian states, and given the severity of the recent election manipulation we can find a good reason for the ruling class to want to avoid talking to each-other.
73 million people voted for President Donald Trump. No amount of manipulation by the ruling class is going to change that. Their effort to destroy populism will not succeed. Even as we are currently blocking the avalanche of their lies, internally there is a growing resolve.
Don’t forget to provide citations to local articles about the rules being proposed or announced by the Ministry of COVID compliance in your area. Despite our current tenuous status, CTH is still assembling the library of truth.
Live your best life.
Freedom…


Going to South Ga from N Fl to join family for a large family Thanksgiving Dinner.
Incidentally, should mention that I attended a High School Football game in Waycross, Ga 3 weeks ago and the stadium was packed, capacity crowd, minimal mask wearing. No spacing, everyone packed in, fans, marching bands, etc. Its “business as usual” when there is a border war regional showdown.
I had the China virus before we knew anything about the China virus. I have worn a mask once. That was to vote for MY PRESIDENT, President TRUMP. I will not wear one again, unless it is to recast my vote. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I live in a VERY ACTIVE neighborhood, in a small-ish midwest town, on the edge of a large metro city. It is not a typical through street. It’s like a horseshoe attached at the top to a straight through street. There are two ways in and two ways out. There are beautiful children of all ages playing in our streets at all hours of the day and night, with all sorts of moving vehicles. Bikes, trikes, scooters, golf carts, mini bikes, wagons, the list is endless. It you can dream it, they have it.
People walk here, run here, the local schools use our block for their teams to run on, people walk their dogs here, take them for rides on their golf carts, etc. The only thing we generally worry about here is the kids getting run over by speeding buses, delivery trucks, garbage trucks and idiot drivers who think this is the Brickyard 400. The speed limit is 15, and observed by almost none, except those who live on these two differently named streets, that meet in the middle where I live.
I have NEVER seen ANYONE wearing a mask here since the “virus” was announced. Not a human. Not an animal. Not a delivery driver, and there are MANY. Not on the garbage trucks. Nothing.
I don’t care what the mandates are. I don’t care who spouts them. I don’t care what the CDC says. They are dirty, rotten, filthy with outside $$$, which should trigger an immediate and independent investigation, but we have no law and order at the top.
It is life as usual here in Mayberry.
P.S. I see the evil doers have crashed the market again with their lockdowns. They should all be rounded up and put in the gulag to rot for life.
I can tell you this much: More and more people in my circle are getting pretty damn tired of this pandemic nonsense, especially as more and more either have had or know people who got The Rona and experienced at worst a nasty cold. This is all a bunch of nonsense.
Boston, MA – restrictions for indoor gatherings 10 people, outside 25. Mask mandate in public regardless of social distancing. I refuse to wear a mask in my car but see a lot of it. Hilarious. The average age of those dying of covid? 81. 81! let that sink in. So obvious we should protect the vulnerable while keeping the state open. This is tyranny at the most basic form. Sometimes I wish I could throw the governor into the harbor in protest…
Savannah, GA
I work in the hospitality industry. With the C19 keeping people at home, it’s been difficult to gage how business has been affected since late summer (of course, our busy spring was nonexistent) Summer is usually slow; that continues right up until mid November. Then the flood gates open for the holidays. We are on the cusp, right now. Thanksgiving weekend will be the moment of truth.
While we don’t have the usual holiday party bookings, there are groups/businesses that are having Christmas parties. Smaller and more spread out, but we are accommodating as much as we can. Several of our cliental have alluded to the fact that we offer a space and atmosphere where they feel safe. Safety precautions are visible, but subtle. I think this helps put people at ease.
Our mayor has extended a mask ordinance, but I don’t recall the new date for ending this. He’s a true believer. Some may remember that Gov. Cuomo came to Savannah, met with our mayor in a televised press conference, and shared his story of success. I’m not sure what was gained from that meeting, but supposedly there are mask ordinance Karens, working on behalf of the city, enforcing mask codes. My guess is they operate in the City Market/River Street restaurant and bar area. People are waiting for things to be fully reopened. I don’t think that most people care about masks or the overall threat of getting sick. Any reference to C19 is accompanied with eye rolls and snarky comments.
JJ, I live in Savannah, too.
I am somewhat disabled, I don’t shop very much.
I went to Bass Pro and a small chain hardware store, I was glad to see hardly anyone wearing masks except the employees!!!
Daughter is living in Chicago working from home, she has been shunned by co-workers and threatened by her boss (not in writing) for visiting us in Florida for Thanksgiving. Of course the mayor in Chicago rushed to the crowds and screamed through a bullhorn to proclaim a Biden win. If you look at the thread about the two who were threatened in Michigan you get the idea. Everyday the woke populace cancel ordinary citizens at the bequest of their masters. In Florida I don’t expect the police coming for Thanksgiving. Don’t tell anyone but we will gather in a group a tad over 10. WordPress will report me but F them.
Here In Kansas Governor Kelly Doesn’t Have Support For The Statewide Mask Mandate.. She’s Trying To Demonize Local Businesses To “Do The Right Thing” Or They Get “Doxed” In The Local Paper… The “Lab-Coat” Propaganda Is Thick And People Are Driving With Masks On.. The Store Shelves Look Like People Are Stockpiling Again… The “Stop The Wheels” Trucked Strike Begins Again Next Week So We Will See… Fear Is A Powerful Tool The Left Exploits…
That is what Doug Ducey, in AZ is doing. I hear they ste starting a recall petition on him.
Ducey is such a mealy mouthed RINO. I’ll have to look for that petition.
If I see that petition I am signing. Ducey is ridiculous. Our Tucson mayor and city council are worse though. Now the rodeo is cancelled as is the Gem and Mineral show, so another 50mil or more just dropped out of our local economy. Lockdown 1.0 dang near killed our 30+ year business, and this put the final nail in it. So we are basically out of business. Oh, well.
The tyrant here in the people’s republic of MN has just put new stay at home orders in place. Restaurants, health clubs, etc will all have to close for ‘4’ weeks starting friday or saturday – the dining places can only do carryout. I believe there are some bs limits now imposed via mandates about how many people you can have in your home (which of course no libs in power will follow).
And of course, all of the covidiots are happy and celebrating because they do nothing but watch the MSM and so are convinced that covid is the black death.
I am still shocked that there is no louder outcry here about the gov keeping his dictatorial ’emergency’ powers 9 months into a non-emergency.
We are the poster child for why the R party should be cleansed. Do not vote for liberal R’s because of fear mongering. They simply side with the libs and passive aggressively kill you off.
NH
I have been reading this site for three years now, but only one “wolverine” response previously, as I do not find the time to get everything done as it is! And, that one time I checked both notify boxes and blew up my e-mail as there were a lot of reply’s! So I just enjoy reading the site and continuing my on line education from both Sundance and all the knowledgeable persons that do reply. Thank you both……..
Having said that and knowing this is probably not going to go over well, I have been wearing a mask pretty much since the beginning due to medical (just went through cancer treatment during COVID) and my wife and I care for my elderly parents. I have felt more comfortable, regardless if it was mandated or not (it is now in NH) and I would hope people would respect that.
Other than that our lives are pretty normal. We get out, my wife is a nurse manager at a large regional hospital and has not missed a day of work. I work from home but we have people over, contractors working on house etc. We try to do all we can to protect ourselves so five nights a week we can feel relatively comfortable being with my parents, and we do not wear masks there (at their insistence !). We try to make their lives as normal as possible. We were actually looking into nursing homes last fall….you don’t know how many times they have said “thank god we didn’t go into a nursing home”.
I would say NH has been very lucky in that we have not seen a lot of cases especially in the area we are in. Most deaths have been associated with nursing homes thorough out the state. That is until recently, for some reason the cases are picking up significantly in recent weeks. We have doubled cases per day in last four weeks and they think that will double again within another four weeks.
Having said all that, we will be doing our typical thanksgiving dinner with Mom and Dad along with a sister and husband who live close by. Rest of the family is not traveling but 50-50 whether they do in any particular Thanksgiving anyway. Much of what we do as a family is to protect our elderly parents and we will celebrate Thanksgiving with the knowledge that we have done so without locking us nor them up completely.
It is a balance which I think is reasonable and I would hope is respected. I takes noting away from the Trump signs on my front lawn I refuse to take down and the feeling I have of being robbed of my vote and potentially the Presidency of DJT. It does not sit well with or without a mask!
Have a great Thanksgiving all.
Steven,
The issue isn’t necessarily wearing masks, but the mandate to do so when not needed or wise. In your case and for many others that may have health concerns, take whatever steps you feel are needed to speed your recovery. People have been doing that for years.
OSHA requires hard hats to be worn on many job sites. It makes sense and many contractors did so before the gov. ordered it. But, what we are now experiencing is the government “mandating” us to wear hard hats all the time just in case something might fall from a tree or from a passing airplane. That makes no sense.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Good morning, Steve from NH. I live in NH, too. Seabrook, on the coast, right over the MA border. (Stated for the benefit of non-NH Treepers).
Can you direct me to the NH state mandate for mask wearing? You stated “regardless if it was mandated or not (it is now in NH)”. I find nothing except “groups over 100”. Thanks.
some nice tweet today from POTUS would be..

I and the AMERICAN PEOPLE see thru you 🙂
Here in Kansas City area the Johnson County, Ks Sheriff Calvin Hayden announced yesterday on Mundo in the Morning that the Sheriff’s Department nor the Local PD’s will enforce any WuHan Flu mandates from the State of Kansas and Liberal Lunatic Gov. Laura Kelly. Apparently the Kansas DA is on board with this as well. According to Sheriff Hayden enforcing these mandates is Civil issue for Cities and Code Nazi’s to enforce, not Law Enforcement. Sheriff Hayden’s announcement confirmed some back channel information I had recently received.
I do see more and more brainwash victims driving with masks on their faces, however during this entire 9 months of paranoia I have only been requested to mask up by 10-12 individuals before I enter their homes. My families Thanksgiving has been cancelled due to WuHan Flu and my Dad believes everywhere is a ‘hot spot’.
NextDoor app is wonderful tool to see the Lunatic Fringe at work in Johnson County. While I have not ventured back on there, my peeps tell me it’s crazier than ever.
how to STEAL AND ELECTION….
Rig the computers that count the votes !!( switch votes to Biden )
But ….THEY THEIR ALGO TOO LOW !!! LOL !!! CLOWNS !!
So , plan B needed !!
Are you aware that this type of election theft was brought to light back in 2006? There is a documentary, its title is Hacking Democracy and was I believe produced by HBO.
https://blackboxvoting.org/stream-hacking-democracy-now-on-amazon-video/
I forgot something…
Lots of Chinese Flu related monkey business going on in the school districts. I know that the Shawnee Mission School District is going back to Zoom Schooling after Thanksgiving. The reason or reasons why is not really known, but my youngest informed me two-three weeks ago there is a shortage of teachers who are wiling to do in school teaching.
Another argument for alternative schooling.
Teachers are among the greatest of cowards. Most of them should never be allowed near children. Our grocery store and convenience store clerks have worked from the start of this as have our brave and invaluable truck drivers, but these worthless teachers have done nothing but moan how afraid they are. They don’t want to work, but are adamant they still deserve and receive their full salaries. I wish we could pull a Reagan on them and fire all of those of refuse to work, but their administrators are just as bad if not worse than them.

Central Maine here. The Karen’s are everywhere. The state keeps pushing more and more edicts (masks everywhere in public now, starting to limit occupancy again) and gearing up for more with the daily press conferences cases cases cases. Meanwhile our hospital parking lots are bare, no pacing family smoking in the rear no life flights. Twilight friggin zone all over again. I am on the road a lot for work and traffic is still heavy, nothing like april may but it does seem to be waning a bit. Skirmishes and arguments with friends and family who wash their groceries and parrot the sicks o clock news sicks feet sicks feet. It’s exhausting but all of my energy and focus is on pushing out news about the steal, contacting my reps and reps of other contested states and trying to be as much help as I can. Still do not know anyone who has had it, though many assault me on FB with “my uncle died a horrible blah blah blah and how dare you make light of this awful virus. “
shut’s em up quick when I say “yeah, well my Mom died at age 36 of cancer and my father died when I was 30 years old from chronic hep B he acquired from my mother and never got sick until he had a month to live.” Na na na boo boo Because Trump!!!!
And CT has 48 states on our quarantine list..So Motel Six won;t be leaving
the light on for most anybody..
yes, but those casino-loving folks from NY, NJ, and RI are all still welcome here sans quarantine…..
According to the rigged metrics, Connecticut should be on its own quarantine list – perhaps that is coming from herr Lamont. Funny how the more people wear masks the more positive cases we have! So the answer? Wear them more often and everywhere. Don’t enjoy yourself. Shut down your family. Comply for the love of everyone else!
I’ve told my kids who live in PA and MA we all need to refuse to obey and practice civil disobedience. I’ve warned them that this is never going away because all of these governors are completely drunk with their new-found power to issue ever new edicts by the day.
I have been lurking here for many a year, all the way back to the Trayvon hoax. This is my first time commenting, and I have a little story that may uplift you some. I live in Southern West Virginia. Our FFFF ( my acronym for what I call him- it’s NSFW) of a Governor recently updated his mask mandate to include “enforcement” of this unconstitutional edict. He stated that those refusing to wear a mask when asked to do so by law enforcement could be charged with obstruction of justice
This made my blood boil. For obstruction of justice to occur, there must be the obstruction of enforcement of some law. There is no mask law. The FFFF admitted such in his public announcements. The Governor can not make law. Period. How then can a LEO legally charge someone with obstruction of justice? If he does so, is he not acting “under color of law” and putting himself at risk both legally and professionally? There are even more considerations.
So I called all my reps, and the State Attorney General. After a little phone tag I was able to speak with someone (they will remain nameless). The person was in agreement with me, and spent a good bit of time answering my questions. It was also implied that the AG’s office was not consulted on this, although some hedging about attorney- client privilege was cited. At the end, I suggested that the the AG should publicly clarify his position on this. 2 days later, this:
https://woay.com/ag-morrisey-on-executive-orders-no-one-is-going-to-send-people-to-jail/
I work the night shift (that’s all I can tell you) and NOBODY on my crew has worn a mask since this foolishness started. Not a single person has been off sick. Most of us don’t wear masks anywhere. I am aware of all the hype and deception that has been foisted on the public, as are all my co-workers.I have a big mouth sometimes, much to the chagrin of my bosses and some lazy employees. Maybe it was useful,for once.
I honestly have no idea if our ‘dear’ Governor Cooper (NC) has issued any new mandates concerning the holidays. Our little town’s police and sheriff’s dept stated months ago that they weren’t enforcing crap since it wasn’t legislated into law. The only thing they have done is say someone goes to Walmart and refuses to put a mask on or leave, they will escort you off the property but they won’t do anything else but even our Walmart has said to hell with the corporate office’s mask rule. Basically wear a mask if you want to, don’t wear one if you don’t want to.
Unless New York locks down and prevents people from leaving the state, our daughter’s long distance boyfriend will be joining us for both Thanksgiving and Christmas and I’m looking forward to it!
Question for anyone in the medical arena. How does ICU utilization this year compare to ICU utilization last year for the Fall months? I keep hearing ICU’s are being “maxed out”. Does that happen every year or just 2020?
Kristi Noem has a excellent press conference, she is a normal person has not lost her common sense.
She can she no advantage to mask mandate therefore she is leaving it up to the people to govern for themselves. Sounds like we gonna be able to Give Thanks within the heritage of America.
Contrary to most of the posts we are having a surge in New Mexico. Governor has us on lock down. Most people are ok with it, though you would not know from the traffic on the road.
Yesterday we had 25 deaths, and a 30% increase in reported cases in our most populated county, Bernalillo, where hospitals are at maximum. Testing is an issue all over the state as the test centers are too full. Some people report going to 5 centers without getting tested, others simply give up and go home. The feds are coming in to help with expanded testing as NM cannot seem to handle it on their own.
My grandson when to visit his in-laws where he and his wife picked up the virus. Both he and his wife went to get tested, she never received the test results. Ultimately 7 members of their family picked up the virus from one member, all are at home with headaches, nausea, and no sense of smell. Unfortunately, one is a nurse so there is concern for the invalid patients she was taking care of.
Yesterday I had a zoom meeting with people from around the state, 5 of the 20 people reported friends that has recently died.
Do not take this virus lightly, it is a grave matter.
FR, I do not take any medical threat lightly and much sympathy for those that have died. One thing that bothers me is the lack of flu statistics in the midst of flu season. Do you have any flu numbers for your area? Just curious.
Rikster, there is no flu or influenza this year. There is only Chinavirus
F R E E D O M !
We must have freedom
(socialism, communism, marxism.)
Must be obliterated and replaced with Kindness,Purity, Unselfishness, and Love.
God bless us all and watch the man who represents
Us all. DONALD J TRUMP.
I just moved out of the liberal cesspool called Massachusetts to the beautiful state of South Carolina
Pretty relaxed down here I don’t wear my mask in any of the stores or restaurants I go to and no one bothers me
If the hoax19 police come to my door they can come in for a beer or they can leave their choice
Not sure what Governor “Hey” Abbott is going to do in Texas. [Look up old time comedians Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.]
Taking two of my daughter’s families to Airport (DFW) next week for their trips to see in-laws, it’s the alternate year thingy.
Wife and I will be loading the car to drive to Bentonville-Rogers, Arkansas to see the other half of the family and grand kids. So far Arkansas is behaving, except for mask nonsense via threatening businesses. Plan to go swimming at Bentonville Rec Center, see Movie Croods III and do Rock Wall Climbing with the grand kids. Dinner is incidental.
doc, I quit listening to the on again off again. I rarely go to town (maybe 2X/mo) I wear a mask if I want to. Although one time I forgot to put my teeth in so I wore a mask that trip. My best friend will be coming for Thanksgiving, some deer hunting and just hanging out time, no masks required.
We will celebrate Thanksgiving in home with 3 generations present.
We will thank and praise God, and ask for the preservation of our Republic, and the end of the scamdemic!
Things have taken a particularly dastardly turn in Manitoba. We now have a COVID tipster line where neighbours can report neighbours violating the law. There is a nearly $300 fine if you are seen out in the public without a mask. The fines for individuals who violate spacing rules are $1276 and any business that does not force customers to observe COVID distancing and spacing rules can be fined $5000. In order to ensure cooperation on a local level, all funds from these fines go directly to the municipality where the offence occurred. Also and most ominous IMHO, the province has hired 90 staff from a private security firm that is used by the UN to do things like provide security to refugee camps, to go around the province and issue the fines. Local police and health officials are now safe from the horrific public censure they have had to endure. Porotestes and even wrong speech about the pandemic can also result in fines. The new “code red” rules include limitations like no shopping except for essential items as designated by the health minister, no gatherings in any home or other location of more than five people, numerous travel restrictions, and many businesses shut down completely. We have also been informed if we do not behave ourselves, the lock down will be adjusted so the big box stores that currently sell anything will be forced to not sell anything outside of an “essentials” list ending any further in person Christmas shopping. Also Christmas itself is being threatened. If we don’t behave we won’t be allowed to have Christmas. There is much grumbling going on and many rumours but a large number of people support snitching on scofflaws. One of the rumours which I am inclined to believe, was that if provinces did not react this way, the Feds under our glorious leader Justin Trudeau (aka Fidel Castro Jr.) would force these measures on us from Ottawa.
In AZ lots of mask wearers. Time for a refresher on Civil Disobedience. I’ve quit wearing a mask in the airport and posted stores. No one has said anything nor asked me to leave.
I am sending your report to friends and family in NC as a reality check. I ask them whenever this topic comes up, how far they would let our marxist governor and his henchmen go before they are willing to take up arms. Most people out here in the country do not pay attention to the orders, and our sheriff said he will not enforce. But in the cities and suburbs, I am dumbfounded by the vast majority of people I talk to who praise the governor and think all of this is saving their lives.
Just like the old days…

KY – Gov Andy, dim doing what he is told by the money holders (DNC)
Not a surprise. Expected this to happen.
Lock down starts again tomorrow. (Funny how the announcement is made and then lock down 3 days later. Guess C19 doesn’t spread everyday.
Schools will be closed effective Monday for in person.
Bars and inside restaurants closed effective tomorrow.
Mask mandate for everywhere.
Thanksgiving limited to 8 people and only your family. If you have more than 8, I guess you put them on the porch.
Baby killing (abortion clinics) still allowed.
FYI…The math in KY does not add up based on population and case but I have decided that some KY folks just want to be led. Very sad to see. Also they don’t realize (or don’t want to acknowledge) a case does not equal an illness. (family experience)
Church edict comes out today, so we will have to wait and see what that looks like.
Atlanta, GA metropolitan area here, north Fulton county. Gov. Kemp renewed his executive order of no more than 50, unless you are social distancing. You can’t go anywhere without a mask. Private businesses require this. That said, it does not feel oppressive. Restaurants, bars are open. I do see people without masks out and about. No special holiday restrictions that I know of
Northport, NY – masking has been in place for months for shopping & even house buying – absolute insanity, but then we do have lunatics running this place. You can still eat out – mask in/ mask out, tables are 6ft apart, except for one place that we went to last Saturday, where the people in the booths behind my husband were about 3 ft away, with no divider. That venue must be paying some kind of bribe – because it is the only place where I’ve seen that. Mind you, apart from the fact that other places are sticking to the rules – I could care less, I trust my immune system & If I get sick, I get sick.
Earlier this year we bought a home in Tuscon, AZ, wishing we had bought in SD, right now. Put our acreage home on the market 2 months ago, got a full price offer within 2.5 hrs of the first showing & 5 offers in 5 days, the highest being $43K over the $747K asking price. Just had a Mover quote on our move – price was more than an International move from Long Island to Australia, need to get a couple more quotes in.
My husband, who is in his 60s, has been going into work the entire Lockdown, has to wear a mask when he is not in his office – most of the employees work from home.
I may have posted this before – but my family lives in Queensland, Australia – they had a 5 to 6 week lockdown, no masks, you could still go to the hairdresser & a lot of people worked from home, but my Son & DiL are essential workers. Grandchildren have been back at school for almost 6 months, no masks, playing contact sports, going to the pool, going to School Camp during vacation & families spending vacation at Public Camping Grounds. Other than the Premier keeping the Border closed longer than necessary, because 2 women Premiers are having a bit of a juvenile spat , they seem to be back to fairly normal.
Talked to our teen Grandaughter this morning & she said that her friend gave her a face mask for her birthday – there I was thinking that was really weird, considering they don’t have to wear masks & it turns out that it is a beauty product mask. ☺️
I am in the great state of South Carolina. Republican Governor thank God. Although I work in the democrat controlled City of Columbia, where masks are mandated at all times, inside, outside, wherever you go, I reside in a rural area where the sheeple wear them but many don’t. I will say though that more and more people are wearing them and I am absolutely shocked at the loss of Free Will by the General Public and just eating the spoon-fed pablum by the MSM. No restrictions in our state as far as Thanksgiving goes. https://www.wistv.com/2020/11/17/city-council-urge-residents-follow-ordinances-continues-ticket-those-who-dont/
Iowa – Latest proclamation from our governor:
Effective on 17 November thru 10 December.
Inside – gatherings larger than 15 people, prohibited.
Outside – gatherings larger than 30 people, prohibited.
Masks – mandated indoors at all public and government buildings. Sure there are a litany of exemptions, whatever.
Oh, “In conjunction with the Dept. of Public Health pursuant to Iowa Code 29C.18 and 135.35, all peace officers in the state are hereby called upon to assist in the enforcement of the provisions of this Proclamation.”
A legal eagle I am by no means, however, Iowa Code 29C deals with EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY under STATE SOVEREIGNTY AND MANAGEMENT
And, somewhere along the line it appears the Governor proclaimed a state of public disorder emergency (although I have not confirmed but that doesn’t matter, they have themselves covered) giving the governing authorities all the power they need to wreak havoc ensuring a state of public disorder.
It is a virus. No amount of mask wearing will prevent spread of a virus, ever. Convince me otherwise, you cannot. Why? Simple, the air I breath gets through the mask and what is in the air, likewise.
Am I to hold my breath next?
Kentucky
In-person gatherings will be limited to two households with a total of 8 people maximum, bars and restaurants will be closed to indoor service, and fitness centers, pools, and gyms will be limited to 33 percent occupancy.
According to Beshear, the state is launching a $40 million fund to assist restaurants and bars that have been impacted by the restrictions. Those that qualify will receive $10,000 for various costs.
The new restrictions are set to take effect on Friday.
Additionally, all public and private K-12 schools are ordered to cease in-person instruction starting November 23. Elementary schools may reopen on December 7 if their county is not in the red zone.
I was at the post office annex on Tuesday. While I was waiting I noticed a woman filling out a cert mail return receipt and she had two Maryland license plates. She was masked.
I asked her if she was glad to be out of Maryland. She looked up and said she has been here for three weeks and was very happy. She then asked me about masks and I just smiled and said I don’t but some do.
Another gent wearing a mask pulled his down and smiled.
Your freedom was not free. Many people paid with their fortunes and their lives. Please respect their sacrifices and do something to keep the following generations free.
Here in the people’s republic of Austin. Mayor and County Health Director want more authority to lock down city. In fact, all the county leaders in the major cities are pushing Gov. Abbot to give them more authority to lock down cities. Abbott, to his credit has said absolutely not. We will see if he lives up to that statement. All the media outlets are hyperventilating about the CV “cases”. It’s almost as if the only deaths and sickness of any consequence is Covid.
Wife and I went to Fredericksburg, TX last week to get away. Place was very crowded, people going about shopping and eating. Outdoors, I estimate that more than 80% of the people were maskless. Going into the shops or restaurants people put on masks, but as they walked out the door the masks came off. Restaurants were very busy as were the shops. Stopped by a winery and brewery, too. Masks when you came in, but once you were through the door they came off. People maintained personal space but it did not feel like social distancing. People seemed to be going about their business in a normal manner.
There were still a lot of Trump signs, almost no Biden signs. The CV hysteria will grow as more of the voter fraud is uncovered. The more it looks like Trump’s chances get better, the more the CV hysteria will grow.
We love spending time in Fredericksburg. Great food, lost of History to see and we also trek out to Enchanted Rock State Park for a long hike as well. Plus there are old time dance halls not far away that host Texas Country Swing artists.
Our MI Guv has issued more EO’s via health and human services after losing Supreme Court case. Now using LARA to shut down. Impeachment begins but republicans can’t even agree on that. She is destroying Michigan and blaming…Trump!!!

Here in MN we are having increases even after the July 24th mask mandate our dear leader Kim Jong Walz implemented. He said “masks are the cheapest, simplest way to stop the spread. 4-6 weeks and we’ll have this under control”
Well, here are the numbers from the MN Dept of Health statistics webpage.
Average deaths per day.
July – 5
August – 7
September – 7
October – 15
November so far – 29
Average hospitalizations per day, ICU & general.
July – 9 & 36
August – 10 & 42
September – 11 & 42
October – 19 & 90
November so far – 31 & 183
These numbers are the result of our “Masks will take of of this” policy.
MN has also not updated their models with all this new data since May. This is also on MDH website. Wouldn’t you think an update is in order from the people who claim to make all their decisions using the “data”? Think maybe the new data shows that mask mandates are utter failure?
Also today, MDH website shows deaths at 2961 with 2066 coming from long term care and assisted living. That’s 69.7%! And what does our gov do? More restrictions on healthy people and small business with no new ideas or plans, and same claims as July that “this will slow the spread”. Unfortunately it only delays the inevitable.
Here’s an idea some might try. Massive information campaign saying that masks hardly do anything and we are not requiring them any more. We still need everyone with any symptoms, those at risk, and anyone who feels more comfortable, to wear a mask. (Per original CDC guidance)
This mask policy immediately identifies anyone wearing a mask as someone you should stay the hell away from, and easily helps those who are scared or at risk, by easily identifying anyone WITHOUT a mask as someone to “stay the hell away from”. Stop bumping into people, people!
New regs for about 15 counties in Colorado begin at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. My county, just north of Denver, goes “severe risk” (red) level on governor idiot Polis’ stupid new ‘dial’. Supposedly in my county, 1 in 58 people are actively contagious.
Indoor dining closed, residents are asked to stay at home, personal gatherings of any size are prohibited. https://www.cpr.org/2020/11/17/colorado-coronavirus-rules-which-counties/
Masks are required inside businesses (and have been for a long time) but now almost everyone has them pulled down below their noses so they can breathe. Supposed to be worn outside too but almost no one does.
Next on the dial is “extreme risk” (purple) level — residents are ORDERED to stay at home.
Our governor (NE) has always said that the purpose of any restrictions was to preserve hospital capacity, which was never jeopardized until recently. No state mask mandate, despite much pressure, but more and more cities here are adopting their own; increasing directives on crowd sizes and indoor seating. But now there are compelling Public Service Announcements (PSAs) by doctors/nurses pleading with our citizens to wear the mask, etc. as they are at the breaking point. Friends/family who work in the larger hospitals confirm this. It is getting harder to not wear a mask, knowing the situation in the hospitals, even though I am 90% convinced they are NOT our “best defense.” I have family and many friends who have had the virus with little or no complications so far, with one elderly friend passing with it. My prayer is that hospitalizations suddenly, unexplainedly begin to decrease before a vaccine is in place, so that those of us praying fervently can point to God’s intervention.
Newsom providing the visual hypocrisy of 2020.
We the people wish to be represented, not governed.
Having those who wish to “govern” with rules they themselves do not follow (and then lie about it) will be met with action.
Some smaller towns in Eastern NC have little or no enforcement, but older people especially still wearing masks in retail establishments. Younger shoppers not so much. Just when it seems the masks will be discarded, word gets out that another nursing home resident has died or another student at a school tested positive. No one seems aware that the death rate is at seasonal norm as the focus is on the number of positive tests.
I’m in suburban PA. Gov. Wolf has, just this week increased the pressure on mask wearing and Philly has shut down indoor dining in restaurants. I personally think it’s more about trying to avoid people from talking about the fraud in PA and how they voted.
Neither will do any good anyway. Eastern PA was about as totally locked down as possible on March 19th. Nothing was open except grocery stores and a few big box stores and there were lines to get into anywhere and guards to keep the peace. Even before that people were worried. There were cases in schools and they were closed for cleaning. There were a number of very sick people. People were doing the right thing before Wolf’s order. April 2 Wolf increased it to a stay at home order.
Well by April 12, (Easter) people were already deciding that family was important. By May 10th (Mother’s Day), more people were having small gatherings.
People were willing to do 2 weeks, even 3. But more than that and they found ways around it. So many of the shut downs in PA made zero sense. Why couldn’t realtors do anything, but tree guys could work? I knew that people weren’t taking it seriously when I saw people with hair cuts and professional dye jobs even though salons were closed.
Shut down Philly restaurants? People just go to places outside the city, or gather in people’s homes. People know that it’s the elderly and the sick who are most vulnerable and there is a lot of contempt for Wolf and Dr. Levine who like NY and NJ sent Covid patients into nursing homes.
Yes there are some people who are paranoid, but most are trying to work around the rules. It just means that Covid is still spreading. But people with elderly relatives are being careful and not taking risks.
Sea-Tac suburbs: willingness to comply with Inslee edicts, fear of the virus and acceptance of the announced election results depends on ones news sources. I’ve a variety of casual friends from all persuasions and generations and relish the mix. Perhaps gentle civil disobedience will set an example for the youngsters–a la “more is caught than taught.” Could this work for my elders too?
A household of recent college grads we know became exposed, two had mild symptoms and recovered completely. None of my many 70+y.o. acquaintances have been ill with the C-19.
Many small businesses groan under the impact of tight restrictions and are losing hope of remaining solvent. Social clubs we’re acquainted with, e.g. hobbies, square dancing, choirs, conventions and competitions have gone into hibernation. Friends’ elderly parents who passed in 2020 have not had proper closure and celebrations of life.
Modified 2 in Idaho. No mask mandate.
I still don’t know anyone (personally) that has had the Kung Flu.
I’m in St. Augustine FL. Until recently I didn’t know a single person who’s tested + for covid. This week an assistant coach of my daughter’s HS basketball team tested +.
The team can’t practice or play games for 2+ weeks. That’s a lot of practice and games missed. Sucks. Of course I hope the guy and his family are ok. And I hate to sound mean, but he’s not a great coach, the girls don’t like him and now this..
My daughters’s a Jr and has been told she can play in college, but this isn’t helping. And daughter (who loves having an excuse to stay home) thinks she has covid so we’re getting her tested today. I have to drive her. I’m not a young guy (pushing 60)… I’ll be taking my vitamins C, D and zinc!
As far as govt., we’re very fortunate to have Gov. DeSantis!
No lockdowns and no guest limits for Thanksgiving!
I haven’t worn mine in Nevada since election day. noticing more people taking them off as well…
we will most likely lockdown again since the west coast has and there is a pact amongst themselves.
I live in Virginia. It sucks.
That is outdoor seating, with plush carpets and people not wearing jackets? I know California is known for good weather but it is still a little chilly in November, right?
County near Lansing Michigan. Hardly anyone wears masks here. Stores have the mask sign but many don’t have them on. Ingham county is a different story. Sheriff is bought and paid for. The corrupt state government issues fines there.
