“We understand that restricting gathering of young adults can have negative effects on their mental health,” Zayach added. “We urge family and friends to support the young adults in their life during this time by being available for them and helping them access mental health resources, if needed.”

Sure, let's admit that our order will F*%k these kids mental health up. Hopefully they become very wealthy as a result of a lawsuit.

The absurdity of thinking kids who want to party and satisfy their raging hormones would be content with talking to social workers instead is beyond belief.

Why should they care when they have a .003% infection rate:

That doesn’t sound the least bit legal.

and check this out: Boulder farmers market tells young adults they can’t shop for food:

Public Health Order (2020-07) - City of Boulder

In order to slow the rate of potential transmission of COVID-19 within the City of Boulder limits;

Gatherings of any size within the City of Boulder of anyone 18-22 years old is prohibited.
Residents of identified properties must stay at home except for Essential Activities or Essential Travel

Please DO NOT COME to the market if either of the above applies to you.

You can read the full order here.

***In effect at the Boulder Farmers Markets (Longmont & Denver markets not included) through October 7, 2020

hopefully this kind of fascism is evident even to the brainwashed college-aged young adults ...

How many is a gathering?

Is 20 a gathering?
Is 10 a gathering?
Is 5 a gathering?
Is 2 a gathering?
Is 1 a gathering?

This is incredibly stupid.

The strategy here is completely backwards.
They should be encouraged to socialize and “catch” Covid, with very, very low risk to them, in order to speed up progress of herd immunity. Once they are over and done they, at least, will no longer be a risk to everyone else.

If they were really concerned about student health, they’d ban the University of Colorado.

[alexander_busek]

The order bars all indoor and outdoor gatherings for people in the 18 to 22 age group [...]

Does the order actually bother to define how many people constitute a "gathering?"

My suspicious nature wants to ask the question; was there a push to test a large number of students as opposed to the rest of the population of Boulder county?

IOWs what percentage of the student pop. has been tested as against the percentage of the general population?

[ClayinVA]

Sounds like age discrimination to me.

[bluejean]

So if you’re 17 or 23, you can go to rages and party all night. And if you’re with BLM, the rules don’t apply. This is just outright oppression because they CAN. Arbitrary bureaucratic BS.

Like the old days, we should have COVID parties. Get infected, take HCQ and Zinc after a couple of days and then you are good to go.
