I am losing my mind with this.

You’re not getting it.

He’s targeting bars and late-night dining situations, where people are more likely to be drinking more than eating. That leads to closer socialization.

If he closes restaurants entirely, that will destroy them.

It's SO easy for us to sit back and demand this but it's so much more complicated than that. These are jobs and people's lively hood. Waiters, hostesses and mom and pop restaurants would have no income. We have the luxury, the blessing, the ease of teleworking and get paid and so it's easy to call for these places to shut down.

Wrong. They are going to lose their jobs anyway as things spiral out of control. He could have taken action a month ago to try to avoid this surge but he didn't.

- A person whose family has lost the bulk of its income this year

That is correct. Also, Hogan is under massive pressure by business interests who will also bankroll some of his future campaigns...

So. Let's all understand one another here.

Was that a joke that he didn't have time to change? If not, what a stupid pig.

It's time to prioritize saving lives over saving jobs.
It's a horrible situation to be in, no question. But a person without a job can survive another day. A dead patient cannot.

What would you propose he do?

The two primary sources of COVID cases are:

1. In-home gatherings, which the government can’t stop.

2. High-capacity indoor dining and bars, which he’s taken measures to avoid.

He didn't have time to change. What's your problem?

He said they were going to cough up money for people in the restaurant business who were hurting financially.

I'm sure that trail of hospital germs will just disappear like fairy dust behind him, too. Gross. Don't wear scrubs all over town, idiots. Poor Gov Hogan having to lean on that podium after that slob.

I should have been clearer, as a speaker his speech pattern or tone lost me, not what he was saying.

Who knows and who cares. he is a trauma surgeon. I'd rather he spend time with a patient rather than leave 20 min early before a patient is stabilized. And, imho, his message was to his fellow doctors around the state. They won't have a problem with him talking in scrubs.

Yes, it's a small gesture. All Governors have to walk a tightrope and Hogan is doing it better than most. Which is not saying much!!! I'm on the side of closing more things, personally.
