Truly a great show

Possibly. But I’m not much worried about the keystone cops that populate the intelligence services pulling off a global conspiracy to depopulate the planet. Those clowns couldn’t get rid of a guy they all hated passionately for 4 years. More likely the whole thing can be chalked up to stupidity. I don’t credit malice to something more easily explained by ignorance.
I attended my first "post-corona" sporting event this past weekend**: an MLS game at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ. Both individual states and the leagues themselves seem to be playing a role in the arbitrary rules and regulations for the privilege of live sports consumption. I figure my remarks belong in this thread.
Attendance was capped at 15% of stadium capacity. Only season ticket holders were permitted to enter a lottery to be seated in the 26k stadium. Due to the spacing (four seats between each group of 2-4), pretty much everyone was significantly downgraded. The current NJ 'rona rule is now 30% for outdoor venues with over 2,500 seats, so either the team or the league is choosing to limit themselves here. My father and I share a pair of tickets, and while we "won" the first lottery, we were told there was no room for us next time around.
There was a laundry list of rules circulated before the game, so I knew to expect mandatory masks at all times (except while eating and drinking at your seat). You were encouraged to enter through your appropriate stadium gate only, and they also suggested "arrival times" depending on your section, although I can't imagine those would ever be enforced.
The first striking difference was the gate security. Twenty years ago, some Saudi Arabians hijacked a few commercial planes to crash in the US. As a result, metal detectors have become commonplace, in addition to gender-specific pat-downs for all attendees. In fact, the security levels seemed to increase over the years, but that's another story. Now, the "safety" focus is all corona-centric. You place your coat and valuables (wallet, phone, keys) on a plastic table and walk through the metal detector gate, then stand still for a temperature check from a hand-wand thermometer. There is no posted temperature threshold, by the way, although I imagine this will appear later in a future phase of arbitrary rules. Meanwhile, your valuables pile goes completely uninspected until you pick it back up. I could have easily stashed a few weapons underneath my windbreaker before laying it down, but that's evidently no longer a major concern.
My father was informed that his team-issued neck gaiter was not a suitable face covering and was provided with one of those hospital-grade nose napkins. It was both comical and embarrassing to see the obese black female usher stop him again for having this mask on "upside-down," as apparently they are vented to push your corona germs down, and you sure don't want them to be blowing upward!
Inside, covid was gospel. The concessions had been reduced to a bare minimum and rearranged, including makeshift soda fountain stations with a barrier of folding tables around them, manned by lone baristas. All transactions were cashless, corresponding with the new elimination of paper tickets. There were constant repetitions over the loudspeaker of the 13-month old rules. The scoreboards rotated the box score and lineup displays with screens for safety precautions. The ambiance was curated for constant vigilance.
Amazingly, there was no BLM signaling whatsoever. The players all stood for the anthem, which was sung as usual. There was, however, a moment of silence just beforehand for the lives lost to the "global pandemic." I was particularly surprised by this secularization after the league and stadium made a huge, deliberate production this past summer about broadcasting such imagery and messages out of its empty stadiums. Clearly, the powers that be feared sensory overload or just general numbness to the lecturing, so corona was made the sole topic of worship.
** not true, I attended an independent Single-A baseball game in Michigan last summer, which was both more fun and more reasonable
The CDC just released guidelines for strippers and I now believe that they are out of control and need to be reigned in.
6 ft of separation! Masks! This is outrageous! A clear violation of free association (and paid association).
I went to the local strip club to register my disagreement and to my surprise no one was following the rules! There was a cop there and he wasn’t issuing citations, he was getting a lap dance. My faith in the spirit of freedom amongst slutty American women has been restored! And my wallet lightened.
the video at the link below, approximately a quarter of the way down the page, is VERY informative. it is an interview with arguably the world’s leading researcher on the whole Covid thing.

Here's another "side effect" of the vaccine - families are being torn to pieces between the vaxxed and unvaxxed.
