Denver, CO – Yesterday, Governor jared Polis extended the Disaster Declaration to May 7, 2020 with Executive Order D 2020-032.
This order amends a previous executive order declaring an emergency disaster in the State of Colorado due to COVID-19.
“The disaster declaration allows Colorado to access additional resources, temporarily waives procurement statutes for purchases related to COVID-19, and authorizes the implementation of the State’s Crisis Standards of Care plan (CSC Plan),” the governor’s office said.

The order calls for $68 million to be encumbered from the disaster relief fund in Colorado for response related to COVID-19. It also adds a section suspending multiple statutory requirements for the State.
Supposedly, these are to make it easier to get medical equipment. Why the state made it difficult to do this in the first place is beyond us, but that’s bureaucracy for you.
Executive Order D 2020-032 also officially adopts Colorado’s “Crisis Standards of Care,” otherwise known as the triage plan for patients with COVID-19. This is the plan that designates who receives care first if the health care system becomes overwhelmed.
The government under Governor Jared Polis is officially setting the rules for who gets the care that is necessary for their survival.

If you want us to wear mask Governor. We’re do we get these masks?
He has no flippin’ idea nor does he care, yet I know your question was rhetorical. He’s more interested in his ability to virtue signal to all other leftists in the country to show what a totalitarian dweeb he can be. Give a leftist an opportunity for power and the8will absorb and abuse it in the blink of an eye. We are in for a long, long road.
Seattle just deconstructed their ‘mobile hospital’ unused.¹ NYC’s Javits Center has 44 out of 1700 beds used.² The USS Comfort has 1000 beds with only 22 used.³ Their crest has peaked.
April 11 is our peak. We have 1,409 being used out of 4,851
Bed Shortage = 0 beds⁴
We are not Now Polis gets to make up some revenue that empty facilities cost from the feds, no doubt!

Polis is an enemy to the people of Colorado.
Curious re: the triage statute. “Standards of Care” sounds suspiciously euphemistic for a precursor to euthanasia, I.e. let the aged and infirm die so we can care for younger and healthier people. Evil people know how to twist our minds bit by bit so that, if we aren’t diligent, we could (again) find ourselves looking back and asking, “How did we ever let THAT happen?”
Is it time to lock and load?
Itiot!!! He’s just dragging this out longer and longer. This itiot needs to be voted OUT of office. There are children out there who are in abusive neglectful homes. They need to be in school. There is absolutely NO reason they shouldn’t be allowed to go to school.
Waaahhh! My wife is too pregnant and barefoot to sew me a mask and I’m too dense to watch a video about how to use a rubber band and a bandana!!! Curse you, Gubner Polis!!
How negative do I need to be to get approval?
; )
Enough of this nonsense already. Plenty of people out treating this like a vacation. Time for everyone to get back to work and get this economy rolling again.
Help me understand…. China has 2% more land area than the US and has a population of 1.43 BILLION — 4 times that of the US. There are 15 cities with over 15 million people. Wuhan has about 17 million people, China claims 5 million people were able to leave Wuhan before the city was locked down the end of January. How the hell did China keep the other 1.413 BILLION people from getting this virus??? And they claim today that life is basically getting back to normal in Wuhan? 🤔🤔🤔. Something doesn’t add up!
A bunch of BS typical Dem 🙁
