Our governor Kate Brown has shutdown indoor restaurants, gyms, and other services for the 3rd time within 6 months in two of our largest counties. She claims it was because hospitalizations are over 300 across the state. 300+ hospitalizations in a state of almost 4.5 million people. That's about .000071% of the population. Keep in mind Oregon is in the Top 10 of COVID restrictions and has close to 2 million vaccinations across the state. We had a female track star collapse at the finish line recently because she was required to wear a mask while running. Oregon was the ONLY state to require athletes to wear masks outdoors
Our governor claims she will give out an extra 20 million to help small businesses. Sounds great right? The thing is there are over 5000 restaurants in Multnomah County alone. So that would be around $1000 to $2000 to each of these eateries who are already struggling to stay afloat during this whole pandemic
I brought this up on Facebook because I feel for those small businesses struggling out there. They have done everything they have been asked to do for over a year and are still getting shutdown. And what do some folks say in response? "Well, if people had been wearing their masks and washing their hands we wouldn't be on restrictions again" and most haven't said a word
It really shocked me. These are a lot of the same folks justifying all the rioting, looting, and burning of downtown Portland as a "cause for change." The same people telling everyone to support local and black owned businesses. Our governor is purposely ruining these small businesses and no one will speak out. But they'll attack a few folks who won't wear a mask and not because they are concerned about their health
Biden or Trump? Mask or No Mask? Pro-Vaccine or Anti-Vaccine? Black Lives Matter or Blue Lives Matter? PS5 or Xbox Series? Doesn't matter. She is controlling everything we can do. And the people screaming "RESIST! RESIST! RESIST!" for 4 years would rather argue with a guy for not wearing a mask or getting the vaccine. The rest are just completely silent. Either they are afraid or they don't care, which is even more disturbing
