And I suppose your definition of "conservatives" includes any and all who refuse to subscribe to Leftist Holy Writ. (Nit-Writ? )

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee's office on Monday issued a set of coronavirus requirements that restaurants must abide by when they reopen, one of which requires them to create a "daily log" of their customers' comings and goings.

He should just ban folks from leaving their homes in general. Keep 'em locked in until 2021. Seems reasonable.

What a control freak. A lot of these Democrat governors are showing how bad managers they are, by micro managing.

The backlash on these governors is gonna be harsh.

For once, Mr. Elliott and I are in agreement.

I am beyond surprised that a self professed libertarian would be OK with this.

IDK if your trolling by calling Taiwan China,

But Trump on his first day of office accepted a call from Csai Ying Wen and acknowledged Taiwan's sovereignty, something no other president has done.

both liberals and conservatives unanimously agree Taiwan is not a part of China,

Taiwan actually has a different currency, human rights, different president ect. ect.

most importantly they hate China and the CCP more then any country in the entire world


One thing all Americans can agree on is Taiwan is def not a part of china,,,,,, who's side are you on? definitely not America's


I support Taiwan in believing it was a lab leak and I support Taiwan in educating the world about the evils of the CCP

No president has stood up to the CCP more then Taiwan's president Csai Ying Wen.

She is amazing and even came to Colorado to ride horses one time.

Also I support whatever Taiwan does regarding the virus because they are 100 miles from China and have had no cases of community transmission in over a month


IF TAIWAN was in the WHO they would've notified the world of the seriousness of the situation and the virus would have likely never spread out of China and saved lives and economies

supporting taiwan more could have saved us

all could have been avoided if Taiwan was in the WHO bc they wouldve notified the world of Human to Human transmission in December like they tried to do, but bc they weren't in the WHO they were silenced.

everyone in Taiwan knows the WHO=Beijing

The issue is NOT that the restaurant will have our name and contact information. The issue is contact tracing by the government, and again, it's not that they just want to be able to send you a friendly warning that someone else who was also at the restaurant has COVID and you should be aware... because that would be OK, it's that they will come out to your house, and force a test on you, and potentially force you into a 14 day isolation, potentially away from your family.

I'm telling you, I will not be separated from my husband and this farm, or have him separated from me, over paranoid rules about this virus. We are in this together.

I do NOT want to punish restaurants any more than they already have been, but this is freaking people out, and unfairly. People will avoid going to restaurants just when they really need people's business. It is not the restaurant's fault. There's no contract tracing log at the hardware store, or the grocery store. It's capricious and arbitrary.
