Montana County Demands People Wear Government-Issued Arm Bands To Do Business
2020-04-17
[MontanaDailyExpress] In what might be one of the most over-the-top and draconian responses to coronavirus yet seen in Montana, Valley County is mandating that people wear government-issued pink arm bands in under to purchase products inside of stores. The measure, enforced by the Valley County Health Department, insists that store-owners keep customers out unless they have the pink arm-bands, which denote the customer has been in the area more than 14 days and submitted to quarantine protocol.

According to the flier produced by the Valley County Health Department, out-of-towners who lack the government-issued armbands will be prohibited from stores and residents are notified to call law enforcement if they do not comply.
Outsiders must wear yellow stars
The health department even issued a script to warn customers to flee, saying, "You are violating our Governor’s and Valley County’s Health Officer’s orders. I am happy to shop for you with curbside delivery. I will get the items for you and bring them to your car. If you don’t cooperate, you will force me to call law enforcement."

#19  Well, we are lucky there. The forehead number was supposed to be 666 but upon more detailed analysis it was determined to be 667, due to omitted decimal round off. That was a close one.

#18  Do they require you to ring a bell shouting UNCLEAN UNCLEAN once you are diagnosed?

Or do they have a Star of David and say "Jude" on the armband?

Or how about a mark on the forehead with numbers on it?
