Shit is getting strange out there

”Hillsboro County Florida enacted a curfew from 9 p.m. till 5 a.m. was specifically asked if people would be allowed to walk their dogs. said anybody who was out walking their dog during curfew would be ticketed and or arrested. Because walking your dog was non-essential.”

 

They really don’t want to go down that path.

And 29 of the 30 cops on duty will roll their eyes and say "OK Sarge", the other one will seek out a violator.

Sometimes it's not what they can afford, sometimes it's forced by conferences to carry a certain amount OR certain sports. NCAA does force schools to carry a specific amount of sports, but they can choose what they want.

The University can afford to keep men's soccer, they just choose not to. In my opinion, this is a move that's done for another move -- Big 12?

Athletic Departments are a business. I would guess Cincinnati only see profits from Men’s Basketball and football. They lost their share of March Madness money and if there’s no fans for football it will be the first of many sports cut.

If the season is going to be canceled, I wonder how many athletes will sit out a year?  I'm not sure how it would work out, because a 5th year just to use up your last season of eligibility is a big time financial choice.  But maybe most athletes are needing 5+ years to graduate, anyway. 

On the other hand, a year of college spent social distancing would really suck.

Curfews are about the dumbest fucking idea to deal with this. Tell people they'll be arrested if they're out past 8 or 9pm, and everyone is going to be out getting their shit done before the curfew kicks in, likely being around more people in the process. Consolidating the number of hours for outdoor activity, and banning fucking dog walks after 9pm is the dumbest shit I've seen so far.

Whoever is responsible for implementing this needs bags of dog shit flung on his/her lawn nightly.

It is not a bum fuck county; it has a population of nearly 1.5 million people (larger than any Ohio county); home to Tampa.

No, I'm just curious. Could be asymptomatic.

I've had symptoms for a couple of weeks but I'm passing it off as sinuses. Have had a cough for a while but my strength is still high in the weight room, have energy, etc.

Looks like the sort of overreaction caused by having no effective leadership from the top in that state. DeSantis has been about as slow and incompetent as anyone responding to this, so some county decided to implement some amazingly 1984-style "we control you" shit because the only logical response to one extreme is the opposite extreme!
