Wait… the Governor Tested Negative?
2 min readFresh off a new round of lecturing Coloradoans on how they need to shun their families during Thanksgiving, Colorado Governor Jared Polis announced that he would be quarantined for 14 days because he was “exposed” to someone who “tested” positive.
It has not been determined who tested positive, or if the person is actually sick. The Governor is not sick. It remains to be determined which of his own rules he broke, or which rules were broken by the person he was exposed to, or what rules the person who was exposed to the person he was exposed to broke.
Polis continues to ignore the fact that Denver Mayor Michael Hancock violated his advice by traveling for Thanksgiving right after lecturing Denver residents to stay home. The Governor’s Twitter feed is well known for soliciting and unquestioningly sharing self-important and politically-useful COVID scare stories from his most slavish supporters, but collected data does not demonstrate any measurable, serious risk for the relatively young and healthy, who are much more likely to die in accidents than due to coronavirus.
