Yup, this seals it. Doing potatoes next year.

What about ski patrol. Wonder how many of those guys would opt out, especially if it’s a lot of volunteers.

These guys in the MLB were supposed to be following strict protocols in regards to where they can go, etc etc. there’s now been 17 marlins players/coaches test positive, a few Phillies staff members who worked in the away clubhouse test positive, lord knows about airport employees, bus drivers, etc etc. it’s not going to take much to spread it in a school. All it’s going to take is that one kid who’s parents went out to a bar Labor Day weekend at the jersey shore to get it, bring it to school on the bus (30 kids), spread it in the classroom (15 kids conservative) and those kids spread it to their parents, who spread it to the workplace (if not telework) etc etc etc. I don’t have kids, let alone married so my opinion may not hold any weight, but I don’t think in person schooling should resume any time in the immediate future.

The whole debacle with the marlins should be the literal example of why children shouldn’t go back to school just yet.

Jimmy Johnson. Also, I believe a crew chief missed a weekend due to being exposed to someone with it, but tested negative twice and was able to return.

A handful of NFL players opted out of this season today after the Marlins situation...more likely than not more will in the coming days. I’m most impressed with the guy from the Chiefs (forget his name) who opted out to put his medical degree to use and work with COVID patients in care centers.

Real good question. The player already have/had an issue with the NFL’s safety protocols for all of this and now they’re watching This happen in baseball, it’ll only make them consider opting out more and more.

14 marlins players/coaches/personnel tested positive, their game tonight got cancelled, team is staying in Philly. Not a good look for the MLB right now. also opened the door for exposure to philly airport employees, hotel staff, CBP staff, etc etc

That was one of my concerns was how deep/shallow to actually plant them and if they would push upwards over time and need to be covered with soil again. Thanks for the info!

Considering doing potatoes next year, anything special you suggest doing for them?

My dad got a call this morning his Covid test results came back, all they needed from him was his information, policy number, and social security number. he never got tested anywhere. the scammers are starting to emerge.

It’s comcast..... you’re going to pay for it at some point.

Same could be said for indoor/outdoor dining. Do people REALLY need to sit down and eat their food at a restaurant? No. We all lived with takeout for ~2 months. Shut it all back down if that’s what needs to be done.

The coyotes still use that logo as an alternate jersey. The logo looks cool, but the original jersey it was on was absolutely hideous.

I’m not a big politics person so I actually had to google it, but democratic.

Meanwhile in Delaware the State Fair goes on.....

Because “Murcia! Soon to be land of the free, home of the dead.

Might as well, they play like shit every year

This is just a personal observation I’ve made over the recent week, week and a half. The outdoor dining seems to have loosened people’s perception that getting up and meandering table to table is okay. I walk my dog up through town every night (Street is shut down for outdoor dining) and there are always a bunch of people talking to friends at another table, hugging neighbors they see, etc etc. I haven’t been inside a to watch yet but I can’t imagine that same thing is going on inside. bar service could be open if the bar did things the right way. One place here had two, 4 person spots at the bar 6 feet apart and divided by an unused high top table if 1 person came in and sat in that 4 person section, that’s it, the other 3 sit empty, if you’re coming in as a group of 2 or 3 or 4 they required you all came in together and not have 1 or 2 people show up early and the other two come staggered, no different than sitting at a table imo.

You mean kids who constantly have their fingers in their mouths, sneeze without covering their mouths, lick anything and everything possible, etc etc can’t spread it? She’s got her head so far in the sand she probably knows the lottery numbers in China for tomorrow.

Wonder what the numbers would be if we had legitimate, and readily available testing back in March at the beginning of everything. Would we have seen these recent “spikes” or would we have had an onslaught of cases in late March/ early April.

Right, however as feasible as outdoor dining is, its also given people a false sense of security. The block in front of my house is shut down for outdoor dining, I walk through there every night with my dog (mask on) and on the weekends it’s a table to table free for all. People are up and meandering to other tables, catching up with their neighbors, etc etc. if you’re going to shut 1/3 of a thing down, shut it all down. It’s stupid to tell people it’s okay to sit at a table but you can’t sit at the bar. Granted, I may be taking the definition of “bar” as a restaurant/pub bar, but it just doesn’t make sense to me. Either shut it all down or nothing at all, or put a capacity limit on it. the one brewpub up the street from me did their bar service right. 8 person capacity at a bar that normally seats 20. Two 4 person sections. You HAD to come in as a group, if you didn’t your friends that showed up later couldn’t sit with you,. If you were a single person you were sat at the bar and took up the entire “4” person section of the bar and they had a 2 hour limit. After 2 hours you had to leave. You could come back 2 minutes later but if seats weren’t available you were SOL. and now they can’t do anything via the bar and are relying on 10 tables to make money because the state doesn’t recognize their upstairs open air area as “outdoor”. Shutting down close quarter bar only type places makes sense, shutting down the bar area of a restaurant that’s following the rules doesn’t, either shut all dining services other than takeout or delivery down or dont do it at all. I think smoking at a bar in PA is banned, unless it’s a private club.

I’m aware of that, and agree it makes sense to close them, but what doesn’t make sense is how bars are being targeted but not the beach, public pools, dining, gyms, shops, etc etc.

Yeah, closing bars isn’t going to do the trick
