New Covid Restrictions (construction, law, agriculture)

[pman]

... restricted hours for a large majority of businesses, a ban on social activities in both public and private places, and a dry law from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. every day of the week. ... all private operations that serve the public must close from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m., including "commercial, professional, non-professional, consumer service, sales, entertainment and other premises." Operations that do not serve the public, such as manufacturing, construction, commerce, distribution and agriculture companies are excluded from this new measure of restricted hours...Despite the government's claim of an uptick in cases, the dashboard's graphs showcase a drop since Aug. 14...81.4 percent of the eligible population (aged 12 and older) have gotten at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, available through Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson. Moreover, 70.4 percent of the eligible population has been fully inoculated.

based on the high percentage of vaccinated individuals and the recent drop in cases, the governor should have postponed his new rules. clearly either the problem has peaked or the vaccine doesn't work.

Or maybe some people like to act BEFORE it's necessary, instead of responding after the fact.

this seems more like acting AFTER the fact, you know, after the cycle has peaked.

Pretty much this is how it's been handled everywhere

AFTER an increase makes sense, After a decrease does not but yes, you could not have designed a better war on small business than covid policy.

I be curious it appears US territories have tighter restrictions than most states and local governments in the mainland is this true? I heard some places even block access to beaches at 4pm?

Though it appears city data is pretty quiet on US terrorities. I am looking for one with a lot of deserted islands to explore.

Haven't heard the beaches thing but the island is more similar to us cities than states in its rules. Perhaps a reflection of excessive centralization
