I lost track of the Johns Hopkins death numbers by day.

This is from Wikipedia:

No food, no drink. What are we, Utah?

I believe Camp is probably sharing out of concern for the bar owners and employees rather then concern for the drunks

Nah BS me and my golf buddies will be the DAH's  but only got to jump off the dock to sober up in a hurry 😏

I went food shopping today, which I rarely do. (Thanks Zelda.)

The mask wearing was near 100%. I only saw one person with it pulled down talking on her phone.

Cool map from the NYTimes:

This is true. It goes back to a few ruining it for everyone else. The ones this hurt the most are the responsible bar owners who are doing nothing other than trying to make a living. Why can't the Gov simply close down the ones who don't comply. I still say he did an incredible job but now it sometime seems he's enjoying flexing his muscles.

IT's probably easier to require food than it is to clear a bar full of drunks. We need to accept that everything is awful now and for the foreseeable future. This is just one more thing.

There's been a 40 year war against happy hour by the DWI lobby. When this is over I'm sure they will push to keep the-drinks-with-food-only rule permanently.

Seriously??? The health department can close one down in a matter of minutes.

I am very down on the US in general right now.  How can the place I call my home, what I think to be the best country in the world be getting this so wrong.  So I did a little snooping and now to me it appears what is happening here is happening just about anywhere I would consider living.  Good thing the entire world is working on this.  Its like a train going down a track and we are trying to finish the bridge before it gets there.  

Don’t let that American exceptionalism cloud your judgement.
