I don’t know Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Manager Dena Diorio, but I have to imagine in any other year, being mentioned in the same breath as California Gov. Gavin Newsom would probably have made her day.

According to WFAE-FM, Diorio was one of numerous officials in Mecklenburg County — home to Charlotte — urging residents to stay at home this Christmas.
Preferably with members of your own family, 16 feet apart and wearing masks and Snuggies. I made most of that up, but you could read between the lines and tell that was the context.
