That’s from Governor Sununu’s Emergency Order 72. What a mess. The sort of bureaucrat rats nest you’d expect from a cabal set on undermining your ability to understand the expectations—a state not of emergency but cultural fascism.
What does it mean? The Emergency order that is. That his excellency would like everyone who travels outside New England to embrace self-imposed 14-day quarantine.
You leave the reservation; you have to lockdown for two weeks when you get back. No symptoms, too bad.
You were going to visit your family for a holiday? I hope you have vacation time left, assuming you still have a job or a business with which to return. By Christmas, we may all be facing widespread tyranny on a much larger scale.
Black Friday? It’s online. A clean-room suited delivery person will bring it to your door. Don’t go out to fetch it until they leave.
Not new? Well, not exactly, but we’ve been running fast and loose in the Granite State, depending on whom you ask. Our neighbors have been cracking down on all that dangerous liberty, though some, like Massachusetts, never really rolled any of their tyranny back.

“Emergency Order #52, as extended by Emergency Orders #61, #66 and #70, issued pursuant to Executive Order 2020-04, as extended by Executive Orders 2020-05, 2020-08, 2020-09, 2020-10, 2020-14, 2020-15, 2020-16, 2020-17, 2020-18, 2020-20, and 2020-21 is hereby extended and shall remain in effect until January 15, 2021.”
Enjoy your afternoon chasing all that down. And why not? You are probably going to get locked down anyway. This will give you something to do between Facetime or Zoom chats with relatives over an Inalianble right to a Swansons microwavable Turkey Dinner.
