Default Re: Isolation diaries

Ours are really bad, too, so our governor...

added a new color to the COVID dial because we're at the level where we were supposed to shut down. Getting to level red was supposed to be an automatic shutdown, but we're there now, so they decided that red is now "orange and a half" and purple is the new automatic shutdown level.

It's not entirely his fault. We have this stupid law called TABOR that among other things limits the state's emergency funds, so combined with the lack of federal emergency funding, closing down entirely would be disastrous.

But these limited capacity things are going to be almost impossible to keep up with. At least during the shutdown, they only had to deal with shutting down the danged speakeasies. It's just much more complicated trying to go after places exceeding capacity or violating small provisions and such. Plus with all the belligerent cowards who are too scared to acknowledge what's happening in the first place. Ugh.

We are fucked. Collectively, at least. I'm hoping we'll be able to just lock down of our own accord without too much trouble.
