This is a fun article from the New York Times about Maryland's Covid 19 closures. They have an R governor and no tribes to blame.

No Fishing

There is a higher percentage of the types of underlying conditions that contribute to fatalities within the the tribal communities as well. Then there is the concern of adequate medical support. (The feds just release funding that was earmarked for tribal medical support over a year ago..and only after a long fight)

Also, there is the cultural impact as well. .Tribal communities are essentially just extended families. As such, social distancing is very difficult in tribal culture. Family is everything and NOT visiting and being close with elders is considered wrong.

Given that we are all working to save each others lives, I applaud our tribal neighbors efforts to do the right thing in this case.

I just listened to a Spokesman Review podcast with Suswind and at the 6 minute mark he’s quoted, “The governor is very clear that recreational fishing is not an essential activity.”

But tribal and commercial fishing is??

Sums up the entire Inslee regime regarding recreational fishing in one sentence.

I haven’t purchased a salt water license in a while now and this may be the first time I don’t buy any fishing license.

I’ll get in my special permits next month but the way this state supports hunters and Fisher I’d actually be surprised if there is a hunting season. It’s not essential after all and we can’t afford to have WDFW employees exposed to healthy hunters and fishermen practicing social distancing.

BTW. I’ve got no problem with local jurisdictions closing access like Pacific Co just did but I do have a problem with the fuckit let’s close everything down because we’re a bunch of lazyfucks who don’t care and the governor hates you anyways decisions.

Oh and we have no money because Brood didn’t buy a license and the general fund is empty because no one is paying tolls to get to work anymore.

Everything will be shut down and it will have very little to do with CV-19 and everything to do with $$$ and disdain for our life choices.

p.s. Every WDFW employee should be laid off until such time fishing is open state wide. Too dangerous out there to arrest poachers and way way to dangerous to place anyone in jail if they are caught so why are we paying them?

Are you suggesting that every WDFW employee is a LEO?

Oh, and did you happen to catch the news about how Seattle auto thefts are WAY WAY up over the past month? Bad guys know that folks aren't using their vehicles so the loss may not be noticed. Bad guys tend to take advantage of such lapses in oversight and especially LEO absence.
