You're smart enough to know that these restrictions weren't put in place because of people like you. They're for the dumbasses who refuse to keep their asses at home.IrishTxAggie said:
Because me taking my dog to the park to play fetch at 6AM on Saturday morning is really a big ****ing threat to spread the virus. **** Turner, **** Hidalgo, and frankly **** Abbott right about now too.

You don't touch it, but a bored ass kid will climb all over it, the fence, the gate, you name it.
And I think, as mentioned above, the fact that there are less and less options to go to means more and more people are going to want to go to the few places still open. How do you socially distance 20 5 year olds running all over a tennis court?
unless it's two grown men playing, then tremendous risk.Jack Cheese said:Scruffy said:The risk is 911 having to deal with Karen calling multiple times to report Sharon and Tonya playing a match between rounds of mimosas.Jack Cheese said:
Can someone explain locking the tennis courts as has been done in my (and surrounding) subdivisions? I'd like to understand the risk vectors.
I think this is the real reason. Tennis poses zero actual risk.

Then there is also the ball girl and the towel girl that you come into contact with.TXTransplant said:Jack Cheese said:Scruffy said:The risk is 911 having to deal with Karen calling multiple times to report Sharon and Tonya playing a match between rounds of mimosas.Jack Cheese said:

Not entirely. Pretty sure one player could cause the virus to get on the ball, then the other player gets it on their hands when they touch the ball. And when you're out sweating and exerting yourself, there is a lot of touching your face and breathing hard (which disperses droplets everywhere).
Jack Cheese said:
Sure there is.
You people are ****ing crazy. Seriously.

Just get your panties untangled and stay home for awhile.

Get bent. I've been following the rules for four ****ing weeks now basically. I want to know why They think locking the park that is basically just wide open grassy area at 12th and Yale is going to change one ****ing thing about community spread. They've already roped off the playground, but now the fields, wide open ****ing fields, are a *********problem.

They're just worried about big crowds congregating for a weekend for parties and stuff, which is why it's only for this weekend. You're not the subject of their ire.

But what incentive do they have to not just shut it all down? What about keeping them open should be a concern to a government in a state of emergency?IrishTxAggie said:
Hence they should do their jobs and go after the offenders. Not blanket directives that impede on others abilities to move around freely while maintaining their social distancing dog and pony show.

"I know the Easter weekend is traditionally a time when families flood our parks for barbecues and Easter egg hunts. This year, I am asking everyone to stay at home and continue social distancing," Mayor Sylvester Turner said. "I desired to keep city parks open for the holiday, but we had 615 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, along with two additional deaths. We must do everything possible and work together to blunt the progression of COVID-19."
City parks and trails will reopen on Monday, April 13th at sunrise. However, all park playgrounds, basketball courts, exercise equipment, skateparks, water playgrounds, as well as City-owned golf courses, driving ranges, the Memorial Park Tennis Center, Lee LeClear Tennis Center, and the Homer Ford Tennis Center at MacGregor Park will remain closed until further notice. Neighborhood tennis centers will reopen on Monday morning. The Parks Department's Curbside Meal Distribution program will still take place on Friday at its regular time of 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at 49 community centers.
Man, you're obtuse.IrishTxAggie said:
Cool. How many of those cases came from going to the park?
Again. State of emergency. Meeting ticket quotas and making budgets is not a concern right now. The primary concern, as directed by the state of emergency is to prevent and mitigate spread of the virus. And they are just doing it for 1 holiday weekend.IrishTxAggie said:
Their incentive is ticket people for the bull**** they normally do to try to get some revenue since their speed trap bull**** won't bring on any for awhile.
But, it's not supposed to be an incentive for the government. They serve the people.
