Tens of thousands of Memphians are without power and it could be days before MLGW restores electricity to the city.

It’s virtually impossible to find a hotel room anywhere in the Mid-South so many citizens are seeking refuge in city shelters.

There’s just one big problem: if you don’t take a COVID test, you won’t be allowed inside.

A message posted on the city’s website states that about t127 residents were sheltered at the Hickory Hill Community Center.

“Due to COVID precautions, all persons seeking entry into the center will be required to take a COVID test as well as adhere to social distancing guidance. Masking is strongly encouraged for all persons in the center,” the message read.

Shelby County Commissioner Tami Sawyer reiterated that message in a Twitter posting.

“Please be aware that most warming centers and places open to the public for heat & electricity require masks,” the leftist lawmaker wrote. “Shelters and city run warming centers require proof of negative COVID19 test. Results from Rapid tests are allowable at most places.”

in other words, the woke Democrats who control Memphis are giving citizens a choice: they can either freeze to death or they can get the China Virus test.
