Can’t fault them for trying to make a buck.
Poverty on reservations is crushing.

They’re so close up provoking violence it’s scary. Serious serious violent reaction coming soon. Blood in the streets. Alas, pray these political dictator- wannabes see the light and end this abuse NOW!

That gets you to noon on Monday. At precisely 12:15 you invoke the riot control act again which get you 3 more days. Repeat as wanted.

So why the martial law in Gallup?

Because the short little SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer gubbner says so. She's calling out the National Guard to enforce the closure.

As usual the entire city will suffer because the problem as plain as her buckteeth is the Navajo tribal members, BUT instead of closing access to the city by reservation road, she shuts all the citizens in.

The Navajo President this week asked all reservation members to stay on the rez, which is ignored as they all need to shop. The navajos have closed the reservation completely for 4 weekends and have had a nightly curfew for 4 weeks, but the positive tests are still skyrocketing. The tribal closure affected rez land in 3 states without abating, but this fool of a guvner cannot see closures haven't worked and is screeching that "social distancing is not being done so I will force it". What a democrat putz.

My guess would be that there are lots of people in that region who live with multiple generations under the same roof. Add poverty and a great deal of addiction and alcoholism driving people to venture out to the off-reservation hooch stores, and it’s a recipe for disaster. I’ve driven through that region numerous times and it’s pretty desolate. There has to be something unusual going on for this or any virus to spread so rapidly out there. If there are lots of cases of multiple generations under the same roof, the “stay at home” lockdowns may actually make things worse since you guarantee that if even one person in the home gets the CCP virus, everyone gets it including, Grandma and Grandpa.

I doubt enthnicity has anything to do with it.

Wrecked health by being a chronic drunk, fat, out of shape, and eating crap, however . . .

I hadn’t read that Type O blood was more likely to get virus before - where is that fact derived from?

Thousands of Navajo and Zuni would put themselves at risk. It should be the hot spot to stay far away from, not be drawn to as in ordinary times.

All pueblos are closed to non-residents:

Closure
Zuni Pueblo is closed to all non-residents due to COVID-19 precautions and orders issued by Zuni Pueblo. Please use I-40 or US 180 as alternate routes. To avoid non-residential travel, traffic will be diverted onto NM 602, NM 53 or NM 36.

Yes that sadly seems to be the case. They've never come right out and admitted that, but Debbie Scarves has certainly hinted around about it plenty.

That is something I can't understand. They need to come right out and say who are the most affected.

My family has been ranching in NM for 150 years.

I’m white, but probably 1/4 of my family is either Comanche or Apache.

Low opinion of the Zuni is a common denominator. (This may be Navajo Nation, but I’d be really surprised.)

‘O types are supposed to have the easiest time with the virus. A positives the worst. Must be something else.’

That’s what I thought I had read too!

Welcome to FR, Quentin Quarantino!

Interesting s/n.

Are you in NM, Gallup, by chance?

When that happens, you can tell them no thank you.Works like a charm”

Well of course, after the fifth “no thank you” it got pretty old.
