I was going to reply in the COVID cases thread but it might be too much of a derail. Already had one post from there quietly removed by staff today.
Judge Peters is going to shut bars down again now that tomorrow makes 7 days above the 15% threshold for Region N hospital COVID capacity.
This will be strike 3 and you're out for many local bars and even restaurants that will have to scale back capacity.
Meanwhile, Walmart on Briarcrest is closed til Wednesday at 7AM to deep clean the store after a COVID outbreak amongst employees.
Where is the greatest threat of transmission? Is it large retailers such as Walmart, Academy, Kroger or HEB? The last week or so, Many folks crammed into these stores for last minute shopping.
Meanwhile, local bars have been curb stomped time and again by government officials from local to state. This rescind order will be the death of many bars.
For those bars that know they will not survive another closure, why close? At this point, you have nothing left to lose. Make them come in and shut you down. "Come and Take It".
For those that take that route, make sure us folks know you're doing so. I hope folks show up to support these business owners and raise hell when the TABC shows up.
Do NOT go quietly. This is a line in the sand folks.
TL;DR Government suppression sucks.
