The "Typhoid Marys" of the business.

Stores need to enforce mask rules. I keep a mask in my car in case I need it. Yes, I will wear it until I get official notification that I can get away without wearing one. Unless I get some certificate stating that I have been adequately inoculated, nobody can safely take my word that I am COVID-clean.
When people were not consistently wearing masks, I thanked people for wearing them.
...."Food insecurity" is not about being unable to get to a grocer; it is about having inadequate funds and food aid for buying groceries. Government should be making SNAP easier to get for the duration of this pandemic. New Mexico is a very poor state, and it shows. High unemployment is a cause and effect of bad social policies in the past. I have no idea why New Mexico isn't attractive to new high-tech firms moving in unless it is such things as high crime rates and low educational standards.
There will be an effect. Three Wal*Mart stores shut down? That will not go over well in Bentonville.

Quote:A dozen grocery stores around the state have been forced to close for two weeks because of a public health order issued by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham at a time when the state’s residents are suffering from record high unemployment and food insecurity, critics say.
The order requires businesses with four or more rapid responses of COVID-19 cases reported within in a 14-day period to close for two weeks.
More than 25 essential businesses were shut down as of Monday afternoon, including a number of grocery stores and major retailers.
The closures include two Walmarts in Albuquerque and one in Santa Fe, an Albertson’s in Roswell, a Smiths Food & Drug Center in Albuquerque and New Mexico Food Distribution Center in Albuquerque.
