New Mexico governor shuts down grocery stores with new public health order

Just when we thought that liquor sales restrictions in Pennsylvania by Governor Wolf were arbitrary and, frankly, stupid, along comes Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham in New Mexico with a hold my beer response. She has shut down a dozen grocery stores across the state. Why would a governor make such a draconian move? A public health order from the governor s office shut down more than 25 essential businesses Monday with four or more rapid responses of COVID-19 cases reported within a 14-day period. The order requires the businesses to close for two weeks. That s right, any business that reports four or more positive COVID-19 tests in a two week period must then shut down for two weeks, essential business or not.
