to Mississippi for the holidays

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock boarded a flight to Houston ahead of Thanksgiving despite his warnings that people should stay close to home and only spend the holiday with their own household if they can.

His spokeswoman confirmed that Hancock was traveling to Houston Wednesday to visit his daughter in Mississippi, and that his wife is already there.

About 30 minutes before the flight, Hancock's account tweeted out to “avoid travel, if you can” in order to slow the spread of COVID-19.

not as bad as Newsom's fancy dinner with donors and doctors a few days ago, but still funny

Probably shows how fed up politicians are with COVID rules on a personal and private level, despite the fact that adhering to these rules undoubtedly helps restricting the spread of the virus. I mean I too felt similarly conflicted this past month, sometimes arguing in favour of lockdown measures despite the fact that personally I feel incapable of following lockdown procedures myself. But maybe you never give up hope that there are still people around for whom it may not constitute such a problem to follow them, psychologically speaking. In short, the situation is so difficult that there are no absolutely right answers and there is no absolutely right behaviour.

indeed, so maybe the politicians should stop sending out the cops to hassle the plebs when they know how impossible their rules are to follow.
