Per my comment, I had mistakenly assumed the decision was directly related to the DIII tournament itself and Covid concerns, and, my post was rooted in how the same organization (NCAA) was going to state (rationalize) the two (Div I and Div III) different paths they were apparently taking in their decision-making process.

Have you somehow misunderstood that this is a contagious virus? Most kids will be fine but will their parents, grandparents, neighbors, coaches, teachers that they potentially infect? We're going to be over 1/2 a million dead by the end of the month. Is that not enough people for you to grasp this? Is this not an emergency situation yet? Would a million change your mind? 2 Million? OK now for curfew...curfews are meant to curb activities that tend to worsen the longer into the evening they go...more drunks in a bar = less people following the rules = more likely to spread the virus. It has nothing to do with the time of day other than that's when these activities tend to occur in our society. Will the drunks start drinking earlier? Some, yes. All, no. That means less spread. It's not clever to assert the thought process is the virus is nocturnal, it actually makes you look even dumber.

Love when people with a history of being very, very wrong are also the most critical of decisions they disagree with. I get it's very easy to nitpick the official response to Covid, and that there are plenty of components that are overkill. But if I'd swung and missed on this up front that badly, I don't think I'd feel like I was in a position to be hyper critical of others on the subject.

While he did lump his theory about the virus with his similar disdain for climate control, at least he spared all of us from his likely "looney lies and conspiracy theories" about school shootings and the 9-11 plane crash into the Pentagon.

The worst thing is that many, many people lost jobs and entire industries remain seriously damaged. That politicians are still getting paychecks ranks nowhere near the top of injustices here. And I get you think restaurants could be at full capacity. We disagree on that. To me, one of the many failures is that government's inability to protect the income of those employed by industry's harmed. It's not a solely binary choice of "open up public spaces 100%" or not. There's a huge middle ground. The government has the resources and capability to protect those business and their employees.
