This is going to be the next step in the perennial lockdown
From Castle Rock News-Press:
Castle Rock business draws crowd against public health orders
C&C Coffee and Kitchen, a breakfast and Korean kitchen at 4284 Trail Boss Drive, had a line out the door about 10 a.m. Mother’s Day. Families of all sizes filed in past a “bouncer” with a visible sidearm. Every seat was taken as folks dined in. The floor was packed with people standing, waiting for coffee or take-out orders. One person could be seen wearing a mask inside the building.
“I expected it to be busy. I never expected this,” owner April Arellano said. “I’m so happy so many people came out to support the Constitution and stand up for what is right. We did our time. We did our two weeks. We did more than two weeks…and we were failing. We had to do something.”
People went out in droves.

If you understand human behavior, this makes sense. People have been shut in for weeks, they want to get out and have some fun.
The first weekend the beach or pool or golf course whatever is open for the season, it’s packed. Restaurants would be no different.
Castle Rock is the county seat of Douglass County, Colorado. It has a population of 285,000 and has had only 556 Coronavirus cases and 25 deaths.
I’m sure the people there will be fine.
Not for Dean Obeidallah.
The people who went to Castle Rock today and didn't wear masks or follow social distancing rules 100% know they will get people sick. If they infect anyone who dies, they should be charged with MANSLAUGHTER! No one is above the law- not even Trump supporters! https://t.co/uWoQg0XHKI

I hate Dean Obeidallah. He’s a Jew-hating piece of shit but puts the echo (the triple parenthesize) around his name in “solidarity” around his name to “combat anti-semitism” which is just cover for his Jew-hatred since he couches his Jew-hatred as anti-Zionism. It’s disgusting.
But I digress…
This is going to be the next brickbat the Left uses to force the economy to destroy lockdown to continue in order to get Trump.
Threaten anyone who opens up with manslaughter or negligent homicide or in some other way makes people criminally liable if anyone to patrons their establishment catches COVID.
It would be almost impossible to state that one person dying of COVID happened because they went to one particular business on one particular day, and had that place not been open, said victim would still be alive, but the cost of fighting that charge would still be enough to bankrupt a business owner and make the rest think twice about opening back up.
But given all the other legal fuckery we’ve seen, this is would not be the most spurious thing the Left would have done to force more lockdown.
