And... sure enough, it is! Connecticut sucks.
California is reopening at the end of August....August 31.
Where do you get the “last” thing?
They made a mistake: Should be NED Lamont.
What "reopening"?? Most businesses, hair salons, gyms, pools, restaurants, etc. are still freakin' CLOSED! For the foreseeable future.
I’ll take Connecticut over MA. any day. CT. Is way ahead of us. We just started phase 1 which gives us almost nothing.
It’s easy to do, but you forgot Hawaii. We still have them, are still on lockdown, still have people wearing masks as they exercise in the hot Hawaiian sun, still think the virus is flying around in there air waiting to jump into their lungs. Only the businesses the State deems essential are allowed to open, etc.
Of course, these are the places that I would go to, minus the tattoo parlors and bars.
Is the governor a pain in the wazoo?
There are NO sit-down restaurants open in Pennsylvania that I am aware of.
New York still has social distancing in place. My county was released to start Phase One from lockdown last Friday, but bottle refund machines in grocery stores are still under quarantine, hair salons, etc. are closed. Cuomo expects people to wear masks in public still. How is this any different than Connecticut?
Gov. Prickster would keep IL locked down til Nov. if he could, in hopes that President Whoever-replaces-Biden will bail the state out. The only reason the deluded fool is allowing a phased reopening is he’s afraid a court challenge might throw it all out, like in WI.
Conn is a state I have no interest in visiting again. The Conn shoreline area is nice but I would not want to live here. Bad weather, bad taxes, bad government - what’s to like? At least we have sunshine and ever expanding tech jobs here in CA. And the Governor is finally jumping on the train to re-open small businesses.
It will be interesting by fall to collate the different approaches, timing of approaches and case/death numbers of the various states and counties.
Just in time Phase II!
I represent a coalition of churches and synagogues that are trying to open their
Houses of Worship. We are limited to 49 people, including clergy, in the whole building at the time of service.
You can imagine how really pathetic it looks to see 48 people sitting 6 feet apart in a space that holds 1,500 seats with the rest of the building empty.
That’s Connecticut!
Thank-you Gov.Ned “I am wimpy” Lamont for CT winning this grand prize.
Well, I’m in NJ and we still can’t eat anywhere except takeout, so I have no idea where thismauthor comes up with CT being the last.
I hear ya! Wasn’t nearly as awful a state as it’s become when I first moved here. Just terrible now.
Bullshit.
Illinois is the last state still on lockdown.
So glad I got out of there 18 years ago!!!
I also don’t understand how we (CT) are the “final” state to “reopen,” when some states are still shut tighter than a drum.
I dropped off some papers to register a vehicle yesterday. The government worker told me it could take up to four weeks to process the application. I don’t understand! They’re not working they’re not doing anything. They’re probably getting half the number of registrations that they normally get. But no Connecticut DMV is union goons who want to sit around and do nothing for four weeks.
