    Yeah, good luck enforcing that. As an example, the Pendleton Police Chief said they ain't comin' if called.

    PORTLAND, Ore. — Days before Thanksgiving, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said she believes residents who know their neighbors are violating the most recent round of COVID-19 protocols, which includes capping the number of people allowed in your home at six, should call the police.

    “This is no different than what happens if there's a party down the street and it's keeping everyone awake,” Brown said in an interview Friday. “What do neighbors do [in that case]? They call law enforcement because it's too noisy. This is just like that. It's like a violation of a noise ordinance.”

    Its impossible to enforce, yes.

    If only people actually cared about other people, especially the ones they say they love... hmmmm....

    Maybe it's not all the governments fault, but the selfish nature of people? Though, to be fair... the selfish nature comes from the twatsticker in the white house right now.

    Good effort though.

    I'll take a Happy Oregon Covid Thanksgiving over a Shitty Pathetic Tennessee one.

    https://www.tennessean.com/story/ne...ee-reports-50-covid-19-deaths-day/6204210002/

    Six weeks ago, The Tennessean launched this weekly column on the evolving state of the coronavirus pandemic. For the sixth time in a row, the news is not good: The virus is worse today than ever.

    The pandemic rapidly escalated across Tennessee and the nation as a whole last week, exceeding prior records for infections, hospitalizations and deaths. More Americans are carrying the virus now than during any prior spike, and the approach of Thanksgiving brings potential for transmission beyond any other event so far this year.

    Tennessee set a record of averaging more than 4,500 infections per day Wednesday, although this average has since fallen to about 4,200.

    As of Sunday, the state was reporting an average of 53 deaths per day, the statewide positivity rate was above 14% and more than 2,000 people were actively hospitalized with the virus. All three statistics were the highest ever reported.

    Hmmmm.....a lot more people visit here(?) As I related, though, at least one Oregon city is disregarding the Governor's s0-called mandate.

    I can't get past the paywall but looks like your state has a "so-called" mandate too.

    Don't be a putz. I love Oregon. Was born, raised, and spent most my life there. I just don't happen to agree with many of the current policies being handed down there.

    Heh, must have been quite a house party. ;)

    Anyway, I'm speaking of Thanksgiving mandates, and the like.

    When you turn to the dark side and move to putzville.....you lose your liberal roots cred....the test to regain local status is going to test your newfound political cult! You vote for Trump you don't get to use the dumb policy defense anymore....

    It's not a fucking Thanksgiving mandate...it's a social responsibility....we need to stop idiots from traveling during a pandemic surge.....that's just common sense, not a loss of holiday options

    I'm sure banjo players are still allowed and cousin/wives only count as one guest.
