[bdamomma]

2. oh brother

[Mike 03]

3. Nooo!

Why are they doing this???

[HUAJIAO]

4. Oh, Jeeze. Keep them outta NY.

[ZonkerHarris]

5. WTF is going on here? stupid.

[dem4decades]

6. Masks still required. By that date only the 75s and over and some of the 65s and over will have 2 s

Lamont's been pretty cautious, there must be big pressure.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

7. I hope that most of their citizens will remain cautious.

I'm certain the my Jewish e-mail friend in CT won't be visiting restaurants anytime soon, for example, until she's convinced the pandemic is quashed.

8. This CT resident says, "WTF?"

Our testing positivity rate has dropped from about 10% to 2% in recent weeks, but only a fool would think it won't climb again--and soon!--as the new variants spread.

I'm extra grumpy about this because I've been trying since Monday to get a vaccine appointment.

[Totally Tunsie]

9. Too soon, Connecticut - too soon.

Kindly stay the hell out of Rhode Island.

10. ...

[unblock]

11. A-oh, way to go, oh-Connecticut....

[Cal Carpenter]

12. Wow, and I thought Michigan was bad - Whitmer's increasing capacity in indoor establishments

but not completely. Movie theaters, retail, restaurants, gyms etc are all able to increase capacity significantly here as of tomorrow.

Which is FUCKING NUTS considering our case count has increased more than 20% in the last 2 weeks, the CDC is saying DON'T DO IT, the NYTimes has us in the 'cases are lower but increasing' category, and we have a significant number of cases of the UK variant floating around, including in my county.

Fuck all this shit.

And I say this as a small business owner who has struggled to pay our rent for the last year. I'm still not letting ANYONE in my store.

Curbside only, motherfuckers. (Thank you, loyal customers)

(Sorry/not sorry for the rant, I am just SO FUCKING FRUSTRATED and all this outrage about the red states leaves out the fact that some supposedly enlightened Dem governors are making really fucking bad decisions right now...)

[Nanjeanne]

13. As someone from CT I'm appalled. We are doing so much better. Why do we

Risk that now? Very disappointed in our Gov.

[Chainfire]

14. I guess that you all didn't hear that the virus was over.

We have known it in Florida for some time.... Our Florida Man Governor told us so.

[MANative]

15. Another CT resident here

WAY too soon. I won't be visiting any of these businesses until at least a full month after my second vaccine. Probably longer.

[choie]

16. Shame on you Lamont

what a stupid asinine move

17. Connecticut resident here

This news really upsets me. It’s too soon. We’re going to have to close down again because of this- and more people that didn’t have to die are going to. All in the name of the almighty dollar. My SO finally got a vaccine appointment this afternoon for his first shot- earliest available is end of May. I’m not even eligible yet.

[roamer65]

18. I'm fully vaccinated and I'm not changing my ways.

No way am I gonna act like it’s pre-SARS-CoV-2.

I don’t wanna be a carrier.

[MFM008]

19. did I miss the end of the Covid 19 Pandemic?

I was gone for a while so in 10 days anything was possible.

[Meowmee]

20. Once again

Confirmation of how many stupid and ignorant people this country is full of...

[dhill926]

21. I'll just stay here in California thank you..

jesus christ...
