His partner is 20 years younger than him and takes care of him well. I’m sure she has him quarantined for the foreseeable future. Yes, that governor is just horrible.

in place to deal with pandemics, so some state/local dumbass can't put people at risk for political reasons.

Pandemics are a systemic problem that requires a national solution.

The City of Oxford called an emergency board of aldermen meeting on Wednesday to determine how their previously passed resolutions fit with the governor’s.

“We’d read the governor’s order and believed from our first reading that it would supersede the resolutions we had in place,” Oxford Mayor Robyn Tannehill said in the meeting. “We felt that ours would not be able to stay in place based on the language in the order. But I just got off the phone with the governor, and we’ve come to the conclusion that all our resolutions can stay in place.”
