SANTA ROSA — A North Bay county with California’s strictest shelter in place rules is singling out specific demographic groups in its restrictions of public gatherings.
Earlier this week, Sonoma County health authorities announced it would limit indoor public gatherings to 50 people. However, should one of those people be overweight, the maximum number drops to 12.
“Please read the Sonoma County shelter in place order… You can’t make this stuff up,” conceded one incredulous pro-vaccine Twitterer, @bigal_0.
Sonoma County Health Officer Dr. Sundari Mase (see photo, with purple scarf) issued the decree, which is in effect January 12 to February 11.
The order cancels gatherings of more than 50 people indoors and more than 100 people outdoors. But the fine print is where it gets unusual.
In addition to trendy diversity and equity language, for example, there are reams of data on Covid rates among Latinx, the document treads into politically incorrect territory.
Besides the obese, anyone with a BMI (body mass index) count greater than 25, those with Down Syndrome are also penalized in the same manner: Should one person with the condition be in the group, only 12 rather than 50 can congregate. Others dinged who can’t be in gatherings of more than 12? The depressed.
The reason for the targeted restrictions is the order relies heavily on CDC guidelines to define “people at risk.”
The public was skeptical about the implementation of the Mase rule.
“So the limit is 12 then because there is no way you’re having 50 Americans gather without one of them being overweight unless it’s possibly a group of athletes or dancers or something like that,” tweeted @seenazusa.
“Speak for yourself. I’m going to have a scale at the door of my next party. I’m taking this very seriously. I’ve also replaced the chips and queso with a bowl of spring mix so that nobody tips the scales while at the party,” @bigal_0 retorted.
Has got to be a joke.
I predict lawsuits.
Absolutely surreal. So only one obese person displaces 38 people? Is there any explanation?
Makes sense: Too many big fat people and less room for everyone else.
Hopefully people wont skip the courthouse and go straight to the bureaucrats house.
Bureaucrats should not have to fear for their lives.
Now, hey you, mister, can’t you read?
You’ve got to have a mask and jab to get a seat
You can’t even watch, no you can’t eat
You ain’t supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a vaccination card to get inside...Ugh!
Maybe the airlines should make passengers weigh in and pay by the pound.
Fat shaming in a liberal area.
The tyranny of government has reached the county level.
Many of the health professionals(experts) in California are crazy people. I remember early in the pandemic, that if you left the confines of Santa Clara county you were suppose to quarantine for 14 days.
“ So only one obese person displaces 38 people? Is there any explanation?”
They are using Stacy Abrams as a reference.
Is this legit?
When they get power, it infects their brain. They can only expand that power. They will fight to the death to keep that power.
They revel in using that power. They love to see the ordinary herd cower in fear, rushing to obey their masters.
Well it’s already the case with elevators.
"To slow the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), this Order prohibits large gatherings, as defined, as well as gatherings of 12 or more individuals of any age who are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19, for the duration of this Order."
As written, it would prohibit gatherings of 12 people of higher risk, not drop the 50-person limit to 12 people if one of them was defined as "higher risk".
Not defending the order even as its actually written, but surprise, blog clickbait is claiming something a little bit juicier than reality.
“ Bureaucrats should not have to fear for their lives.”
That would be a shame, wouldn’t it.
Bkmk
Got it.
Still stinks.
