In Minnesota, you now face 90 days in jail or a $1000 fine if you socialize (speak or hang out with) someone who does not live in your home.

Whether inside your home or anywhere else, including outdoors.

If you "threaten to do so anyway", you face a $25,000 fine.

The restrictions are in effect between Friday at 11:59 p.m. and Friday, Dec. 18. In-person social gatherings with people outside of your household are prohibited. Bars and restaurants will have to go take-out only. Gyms and entertainment spaces will need to close, and wedding receptions, private parties and celebrations will also be restricted. Adult and youth sports will be put on pause, but college and pro sports are exempt.

Schools will continue to operate under Walz’s Safe Learning Plan, which shifts students between in-person, distance and hybrid learning depending on the local spread of the virus.

Retail businesses and grocery stores will remain open at full capacity, while salons, barbershops and places of worship will stay open at half capacity.

WATCH: Gov. Walz’s Q&A On COVID Restrictions

All outdoor recreation areas like skating rinks, ski hills and parks can still operate, but their indoor areas will be closed.

Walz said that while the state has built up its bed capacity and supplies of personal protective equipment since the lockdown, doctors, nurses and other care staff are now increasingly falling ill because of community spread.

I understand it’s not easy and it’s not fair,” Walz said. “But it’s a sacrifice that we need to make. If we don’t do that, and we continue to spread, we will with absolute certainty put our hospitals at risk, and those that need the care, as well as the care providers.”

Walz has said repeatedly that the decisions are based on data. Research shows that COVID spreads rapidly in places where people gather for extended periods of time, especially when they do not wear masks.

“I know the upcoming holidays make it incredibly difficult to stay home and stay apart, but this is how we keep the people we love safe and healthy,” Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan said. “Take it from me, no celebration is worth an empty seat that will never be filled.”

Originally, the restrictions began in March to prepare hospitals so that they could care for those ill with the virus. Now, months later, Walz says one of the major reasons for the new restrictions is because of the immense strain placed on health care workers.

Late Wednesday morning, Minnesota health officials reported 67 deaths due to COVID, and the state’s death toll crossed 3,000. The rate of hospitalizations has also never been higher; there were 27 hospitalizations per 100,000 residents as of Nov. 9.

Reminder: Liberals are very well educated, sophisticated, and smart, while conservatives are fucking ignorant retards who don’t “get” how things work. If you doubt this you’re ether a moron or a racist or both—and you’re not a moron or a racist, right (insert your full name and social security number)?

The science on this virus is VERY SPECIFIC. Adults can only safely gather for sports in the presence of TV cameras.

Jails and prisons are incubators in a pandemic. A guard gets infected, then the entire population gets infected, and so the other guards.

Jails are worse, because prisoners come and go all the time.

Jails should be emptied, not filled - especially in a pandemic.

What kind of lunatic idiot could read things like this and think, “Yep we’re definitely heading towards an armed revolt”?

(Guy who sincerely thinks the rank and file of the US military would follow orders to start mowing down civilians in the streets for disobeying absolutely insane “Covid lockdown” orders that tens of millions of Americans already think are absolute horseshit—assuming that the military brass would even be stupid enough to try and issue those orders in the first place)

Lol brother the liberal mind on display here but hey at least you guys are the Party Of Science(TM)

The liberal mind genuinely believes that, while college sports & BLM riots can be exempt from the order for ((())) reasons, those reasons don't encompass the massive amounts of ((())) real estate that would be vaporized. It's a truly phenomenal display of mental gymnastics.

Liberals know everything about everything and yet somehow they don’t seem to “get” why ATF backed WAY the fuck off on that Bundy compound shit just a few years ago, even though those bros are rinky dink compared to a *real* militia, and even though they were flagrantly violating the law and openly told the Federal government to go fuck itself, and even though it was a big public embarrassment for the Agency. Huh... almost like the top officials were completely terrified of the prospect of facing blowback from another Waco type incident? OCVI... but yeah they’ll definitely be out droning rednecks in the streets across the nation any day now, it’s over Trumptards now hand over those guns peacefully and report to the re-education camps or else!

Governor Newsom’s 10 pm curfew does not apply to the homeless. What if you self-identify as homeless?

If Congress would end the supplemental payments to hospitals and health care facilities for covid cases/deaths, this “pandemic” would end tomorrow.

People literally were posing at bars with their face masks on holding beers then taking them off to drink and chill. Lib virtue signaling is fucking nuts.

Shitlibs literally drinking without a care in the world. Then put masks on, ask a waitress to take a photo, then immediately take masks off after posting to social media. LOL

This happened dozens of times before my friend started taking video.
