Gov Half-Whit: Thousands At Work In An Auto Plant Is Ok, 2 People in A Barber Shop - Verboten!

Because Science!, and Data!, or something something Emergency Powers.

Governor Half-Whit both moved the goal posts and extended the state's shut-down order until May 28.

In short, we've flattened the curve here, the hospitals built to house the projected coronavirus sufferers were never really utilized (The TCF Ccnvention Center converted to a treatment facility to treat an expected overflow of 1,000 coronavirus patients treated all of 17 before being shut down as unnecessary.

Interestingly, while she announced that she was graciously allowing the peasants working in construction to reopen yesterday, her latest announcement allows for the large auto manufacturers to get started up . . . . but not small businesses.

No explanation as to why except her claim that she's using the best science and data - that she won't share with anyone else, naturally.

So hundreds on an assembly line - no problem.

A barber being open and attending one customer at a time - Danger! Forbidden!

To say she's making this up as she goes along would be an understatement.

Interestingly, the executive orders still refuse to adopt any revisions and recommendations made by the federal government that you know, would be based on science and facts:

For purposes of this order, critical infrastructure workers are those workers described by the Director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in his guidance of March 19, 2020 on the COVID-19 response (available here). This order does not adopt any subsequent guidance document released by this same agency.

We're truly in the best of hands with Gov Half-Whit in charge.

Hey Aaron;

Remember the Auto plants are UAW and the Union pushes the rank and file to vote democrat, I know, I used to be a UAW rep, but I never voted Donk and neither did 50% of the rank and file of my plant in the ATL.

MrGarabaldi: Yep, you nailed it. She's picking winners and losers, and supporting her backers first and foremost.

Governor Retch and Attorney General Weassel: The Laurel and Hardy of State officials.

Inviting mocking at a minimum. Still trying to figure out how to deliver tar-and-feathers via the internet.
