Now you're putting words in my mouth again. I never said it never happened.

I'm calling bullshit on this...

Sorry, I assumed that meant you were calling bullshit on my statement.

But you're the one who said "no one" did these things.

LOL. You found one.

I guess you got me now!

I was.

You said "No one forced the NBA, NHL, concert promoters, etc. etc. to shut down." I proved that to be false.

You said "their customers weren’t about to go out in public." I proved that to be false, too.

I told you anecdotally that the Toyota Center was full on March 7. You must know of all the stories of restaurants that began providing outdoor seating because of customer demand. You must know of all the stories of people trying to go to parks, like the Orthodox Jewish people who kept cutting the locks on their neighborhood parks in New York City.

So, yes, I was calling out your statement, but that's not saying that there weren't pockets of places that did it voluntarily. I think putting up the state of Texas against your small examples makes my point rather than yours.
