Eskimo Joe Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 3 minutes ago, nw baltimore wx said: I’m confused. Wasn’t it the federal government that said it was the state's responsibility to gather their own covid equipment? I realize Miami-Dade isn’t a state but why the contradiction? The Feds have done this several times so far for this event. FEMA has never done something like this before. In the case of them seizing Delaware's stuff the state already paid the vendor money and it was grabbed en route. It's unreal why this isn't national news.

Yup there are plenty of news stories about it. It's why Hogan didn't announce until the tests were already in the warehouse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to get into weeds politically, I won’t comment on my overall feelings of his terms, but he has definitely stepped up during this pandemic. It helps the anxiety of not knowing what’s to come or how long this stay at home lasts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that presumption logical? Agree, golf courses have been closed so who is say how golfers would act if courses reopened and they were expected to practice social distancing. I imagine they would be just fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I golf every week weather permitting. We instituted some really great social distancing/surface contact measures. Food is only on a to go basis delivered outside. No more than two people in the locker room or pro shop at one time. Then on the course we encourage everyone to take their own cart if they must ride, but encourage walking. We cut up some pool noodles and put them at the base of the flagsticks (ball never actually goes in the hole and flagstick never has to be touched. No raking of bunkers. But even taking all those steps we get constant complaints from the neighborhood Facebook groups demanding we shut down our course over “social distancing”. The real problem is they are unhappy people that are infuriated by people enjoying themselves in their line of vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why I shouldn't be concerned about groups of people deliberately disregarding the guidelines that are supposed to keep the rest of us safe. Well maybe we should post guideline compliance monitors at every hole. There are 26 million people out of work. I’m sure they need something to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
