    They aren't that great. The focus is mostly on cases.

    As with every freedom they’re limits.

    Fire code and occupation laws aren’t used to stop assembly.

    If a town/city started using it against a business they disagreed with politically. That would be unconstitutional

    I could see a bar like that doing great in the short run. Make quick profit, sell when hot.

    Fire codes and occupation laws absolutely limit, and therefore affect assembly.

    No, I don't think so. If the business is constantly in violation of the occupancy, and the city enforced them. But another business is in violation constantly and the city doesn't enforce them, the city has acted not unconstitutional, but has not enforced equal.

    If a city put a business at 0 occupancy due to political reasons and not due to fire safety.

    That would be unconstitutional

    That would not be constitutional legal fight. That would be a permitting/fire safety legal fight. It would be up to the city to explain why they set occupancy at 0, and since they'd have no reason, it would be a quick fight. If the city came in and said we did it because we disagreed politically, the court might rule that the city cannot set occupancy at 0 based on political reasons, but probably under a different law, not the 1st amendment.

    OK - that number is correct for the US, but that's a wide range. The average is about 55k for weeks 10-15 and 52k for weeks 16-20. But, because of population and demographic shifts, the average moves up each year, generally. I estimate that we should have expected 58.5k deaths per week from weeks 10-15 and 55.2k deaths weeks 16-20. Instead we saw 61.5k (wks 10-15) and 71k (wks 16-20). The first few weeks of that wks 10-15 window didn't have many COVID deaths because that was the beginning of the excess death curve. It continued after week 20 as well, but I was just giving these numbers to illustrate the above average deaths that were recorded.

    I thought Tennessee didn't have bars. Just restaurants.

    I'd rather we worked to make them right, then leave, but if it works to make them right, then we did it!

    But seriously, I think they are distinguishing between droplets and aerosols. Droplets were known, the aerosols has been a back-and-forth.

    I'm assuming reentry is pretty easy?

    Their new charter requires that you become subservient to China. It's a subtle requirement. Apple designed it, so if you scroll all the way down and accept the terms, you don't have to read the part about China.

    This is one of those times where scientific organizations and scientists in general wind up being over-sharers. You can explain the difference between the two to too many people to count, and you would never get to 50% understanding what you're talking about.
