When it really happens: SHTF...

Few odd things going on here both locally and at the national level.

First at the local level. The legislature passed a bill allowing school districts to determine how many people can attend games and matches at the high school level. Today the Governor vetoed it which he promised he would do. The Legislature has called a special session for tomorrow to override this veto. They don't normally do that if they don't have the votes but it does require Democrat support to override the veto so we'll see. Why is this important. Because the Governor has set unrealistic guidelines that make virtually zero sense in determining how many people are allowed. For a Football game, 250 people max can be in the stadium. This is just asinine. With the football teams, the home cheerleaders, the coaching staff, it allows 25 people to come watch the game OUTSIDE no less in stadiums designed to hold thousands. Not hundreds, THOUSANDS. Small schools may only hold a few thousand, larger schools maybe 10,000 or more so this rule doesn't even bother consideration of spacing, etc. Indoor sports are allowed 50 so no spectators for many of them. In fact in some cases, some members of the teams have to sit in the hall because they will be over the limit if the entire team is in the gym.

So there's that.

The Governor's mandates, at least part of them, were determined to be unconstitutional a week or so ago by a FEDERAL judge. His pet state Supreme Court has no say in the matter. He promised he would appeal, he did, he lost he is now judge shopping to find a judge that will overturn the first one. This guy is NUTS.

Restaurants are not allowed to operate at 50% capacity as of yesterday. Which essentially means it's safer to go eat in a restaurant that now is allowed 100 people than it is to go sit in a gymnasium that holds 1000 and at 50% capacity would hold 500, plus the teams, coaches and refs.

On the national level, there is some weird stuff coming out of CDC reports and personnel. Apparently the PCR test they are using to get all these positive cases is extremely sensitive and has a positive result for extremely small amount of Covid and/or Covid related viruses and as this is #19, there are all sorts of things that can supposedly get a positive result. Apparently they have known this for some time and people, not sure who, is keeping it quiet. Politicians would be my guess. So Covid-19 is not nearly as spread as we have been lead to believe. Or it has spread so much faster and further and antibodies are showing as positive results for people that had it, got over it and never knew they had it.
