Lansing — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is ordering the closure of all indoor bars as well as most strip and night clubs through much of lower Michigan including Metro Detroit to fight the spread of the coronavirus, but is excluding Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula

Did they specify the condition necessary to reopen?

Nothing specific in the announcement, but obviously the primary metric is number & trend for new infections. The state of emergency has been extended to July 16, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if that gets pushed out again. Given the incubation period it'll take at least a couple of weeks for the latest restrictions (and more people self-restricting based on the spike) to show up in the overall trends.

I expected that after seeing this article:

https://www.wlns.com/news/133-covid-19-c…

All it takes is one large group of dimwitted college kids.

They are working on a bill in Ohio to allow bars to make their adjacent parking lots part of their serving area..... Hmmmm, open air VIP's in the lot behind the Flight Club....

To that end, the Ohio Department of Commerce is allowing many bars to convert their parking lots into temporary outdoor patios. In addition, the Ohio House passed legislation last month to set up a permanent permitting system to allow customers to drink alcohol on parking lots and other outdoor areas “immediately adjacent” to their premises. The bill still needs the approval of the state Senate and DeWine to become law.

But then there's no accounting for stupid:

Longball, same thing for me. Live in a small college town and there’s a fraction of the amount of students here for the summer compared to other years. Still, they managed to have an outbreak at 3 college bars over the weekend. It’s still unclear how much damage that created.

Luckily no one picked it up rioting and looting and before the imbeciles called progressives whine about the riots being outdoors they need to check on all the asinine videos showing these assholes in large groups inside plotting their ignorant bullshit. On the other hand getting full contact lap dances last night was fun, here in America.

In fainess to the young/dumb twentysomethings, it would have helped if the CDC et al had done a better job of putting the fear of Covid in that age bracket. If you don't pay attention to substantive news sources, it's pretty easy to still have the false impression that you have low risk of contracting the virus, and even if you do it's "just like the flu" unless you're past retirement age and/or have some serious prior medical condition. In reality there are cases where young, otherwise healthy people have been hit hard by this thing. It may be rare, but do you want to roll the dice with being on a ventilator just to get drunk with your buddies?

I guess now that they know it still doesn't matter:

There are cases where young healthy people are hit hard by the flu too. A young healthy person is more likely to die in a traffic accident then from COVID.

Whoever klarkwhite is can burn in hell for bumping this thread like that. I am going to Toledo on business for 2 or 3 days next week so I figured I'd make the hour drive to Detroit after work at least one evening. I thought this was going to ruin the only good part of a trip to Toledo.
