So let’s keep welcoming out of town people to come here to party on the river. I know it says Quartzsite but still come one come all.
They need to close blm in Quartzsite and stop encouraging travelers to stay.
Since people from Quartzsite come to Parker to shop for groceries how long before we start getting cases here? It’s not just a river situation. It’s time for stores to start going to online shopping carts and pick up times. This will limit how many people are physically waiting in line or inside stores altogether. Since everyone has cell phones and computers it makes sense to just let the employees do the shopping and you all just sterilize it when you get home.
It has to do with number tested, the number is low because very few test have been completed. Clearly there are substantially more that haven’t been tested.
That’s exactly what we are doing our here in Cali. It definitely keeps people out of the stores. The only problem is there are not enough “shoppers” to get the goods to the people buying them.

Chelley Lynn Kaufman no way!!. If you are camping in a BLM area you are at least 6 ft. Apart, and in most places much farther. Also, the fresh air and sun is good for you. If you have to “stay in place”, then the BLM is the perfect place to do it.
I have not been contacted that a friend of mine has the virus, which is good to know. I pray that the person affected recovers and that there are no more in Q.
Rhemydog Pincher I would wait for an order to be put together if all I had to do was go to my app and load my cart and never have to walk the aisles with everyone else to get what I need. If I can order on Sunday and pick up on Friday I would be an extremely happy woman. I stress out so much knowing I have to go do the weekly shopping I literally have to take a breathing treatment cause I am so anxious and scared when I get home worried is this the day?
Just to clarify the cases are within the QFD boundaries (which includes La Paz Valley, Rainbow Acres, Brenda, and all the way east past Vicksburg Rd.)

Yeah it has gotten really bad in the more populated cities. There are only so many slots available to pick up your order and they fill fast. And then the hoarders buy EVERYTHING so half the time you don’t get what is on your list. Stores out here have had to limit the groceries.
Try online Safeway
Forget Amazon, I’ve been trying to get a delivery date. For a week
Just put it in Google.
Still a lot of people in Q?
Carol Geary Safeway here doesn’t do online shopping or delivery here in Parker they say it’s too small an area to do this.
Nicole Ching we don’t ask for much!!
Nicole Ching put Food City in Google, there’s a contact us page, ask if you give a list, will they put it in your car for you.
Also Crossroads Cafe was selling some of their food to customers, like eggs . Call them
Im really curious if they’re permanent residents of la paz or snowbirds
Lisa Marie Starr WTF difference does that make. Even if they are snow birds, they’ve been here since at LEAST January. Your comment makes zero sense and quite trying to blame anyone! FFS!
Laurie Tomasino because im curious! What im not able to question things? Sorry must’ve hit a nerve I guess. Where’s the blame??
Everything is subject to interpretation ????????♀️
Lisa Marie Starr if they are not permanent residents their numbers would not count for La Paz County. The CDC is tracking what county people live in not visit. Our numbers may be low but it could in actuality be higher due to our winter and spring visitors that have the virus and travel here.
Can any Walmart employees explain the logic behind diverting incoming traffic while 99% of employees from greeters to stockers to checkout work without masks or gloves? I was there this am so it’s not a rumor. Just trying to understand.
The cases r from the QFD district so yes Lisa Marie Starr more than likely its snowbirds and then they come to parker to shop .
Chelley Lynn Kaufman if the travelers were there “snowbirds” well they are staying at home!
Dave Vaverka then they can and should stay put .. but they need to close it and not allow new people in.
Damn, wish it was the snowbird virus, then us locals would not have to worry.
Chelley Lynn Kaufman please explain how you would enforce that. I’m curious.
Nobody has been partying on the river in weeks, this virus doesn’t care where you are from or what you political or economic status is.
Stop trying to figure out who you can blame for it coming here and simply do your part to distance yourself
Dennis Olson I guess you haven’t saw the river for the last 2 weekends on the Parker strip
Dion Alli rangers patrolling. Even on 14 day free camping blm rangers come and chalk tires and check for permits.
Chelley Lynn Kaufman good answer. Youre probably one of the smartest people ive ever seen on here. ????
Laura Vazquez
Is our local Walmart doing this??? Walmart now limiting how many shoppers can enter stores as part of coronavirus response

creeping a lil closer… this time in quartzsite… some residents there are locals but lots are visitors… keep safe everyone
Laurie Tomasino info can help with tracking spread… lots of ppl come into walmart and family dollar from quartzsite to do their shopping… wash your hands and be safe ppl!
Nicole Ching not fair to the employees whom also have their own jobs to do… maybe you could go in and do everyones shopping for them all day everyday
Did any of the four La Paz County resident cases travel out of town? It is so important to social distance no matter where you are, wear a mask and use ‘super’ hygiene strategies. We can’t let down our guards where we have contact with people or the things they are touching outside our household. Our essential service workers are counting on all of us to not add to the risks they have to take.
Nicole Ching That is incorrect. If an individual is tested in La Paz County, it will count for La Paz County, regardless of visitor or permanent resident.
Shanana Rain Bear Sue Knapp Matthews. Here it is
The first two cases were from California, there is some good to having all of the people from out of state living in the Desert, they are helping the take ot orders, grocery stores get through this! Can’t survive on just
Local population
Doug True, I think the cases you are talking about stemmed from a Bluewater Casino employee.
I have noticed that as well Dollar General too NO mask NO gloves
In the first paragraph they should put how many are recovered.
M Smith – I’ve only ever seen La Paz County do that. ‘Recovered’ means you didn’t die, right? So typically, after a few weeks, anybody who isn’t on the ‘dead’ list is recovered.
Well done John. Open CRIT ! This is way over blown.
I’m curious how y’all got June 9th’s results up already?
There has been over 100 since June 1 on the tribes land. I think they will open when they feel safe and not when visitors think they should. 100 is a lot on the tribal lands in just 4 weeks. They had like 36 on their list today alone. That’s for everyone who thinks it’s no big deal. It is in Parker. We care about every friend or relative that gets it
Kevin – Typo
Thanks for the complete update John as I as sure it was a lot of work. This gives everyone an overall perspective on the cases, the deaths and the areas affected. Another great job of Parkerliveonline!
