Here’s what I have - similar but better IMO, followed by a comparison between commons sense vs. panic measures.
“Follow the South Korean Model to Defeat the Coronavirus
“The healthy need to go on living. We need to keep commerce going. Someone has to pay the bills and taxes, or our nation will be in ruins — even if we beat this monster.
“[According to] Dr. Mehmet Oz, a brilliant, breath-of-fresh-air guest on [Wayne Allyn Root’s] national radio show, that this is almost exactly the plan carried out in South Korea. The sick and at-risk were quarantined. Everyone else went to work. No businesses were closed. No economy was shut down. Now there’s under 100 dead in a country of 51 million. And they still have their economy and jobs.
“[S]tudy the South Korean model. Let’s not ruin the greatest country and economy in world history. The business of America is business. Let’s get back to it — while we protect the most vulnerable and fight this terrible virus with everything we’ve got.”
That includes letting healthy 70-year-olds live their lives, but maybe with regular testing.

Case in point: AZ Republican Governor Ducey’s “State of Emergency” Requirements vs. NM Democrat Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s “State of Emergency” Requirements
AZ Republican Governor Ducey’s “State of Emergency” Requirements:
- Requires insurance companies and health plans to cover out of network providers, including out of plan laboratories and telemedicine providers.
- Waives all copays, coinsurance, and deductibles for consumers related to COVID-19 diagnostic testing and decreases co-pays for telemedicine visits.
- Implements consumer protections, including prohibiting price-gouging on COVID-19 of diagnosis and treatment-related services.
- Requires symptom checks of healthcare workers and visitors at skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
Now for NM Democrat Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s “State of Emergency” Requirements:
- Restaurants, bars, breweries, eateries and other food establishments must close to dine-in customers; take-out and home delivery are permitted
- Indoor shopping malls must close
- Recreational facilities, health clubs and resort spas must close
- Theaters must close, including movie theaters
- Flea markets must close
- Typical business environments that are not engaged in the provision of an essential service should limit operations to the greatest extent possible and minimize employee contact.
“Typical business environments” are defined as businesses, governmental organizations, political subdivisions and other entities engaged in commercial, industrial, charitable or professional activities.
- Hotels, motels and other places of lodging shall not operate at more than 50 percent of maximum occupancy. This restriction does not apply to operations providing lodging to health care workers who are engaged in the provision of care to New Mexico residents or those businesses providing temporary housing to individuals employed and working in New Mexico.
Grsiahm is on track to putting NM businesses, already struggling, out of business. The comparison is between AZ Governor’s common sense steps and NM Governor’s panic.
“That includes letting healthy 70-year-olds live their lives, but maybe with regular testing.
