Outdoor dining returns to LA with tables 8 feet apart, no TVs allowed

No TVs allowed outside...Really?

I am looking forward to a day when some bureaucrat would no longer issue such stupid orders...

"Televisions or any other screens that are used to broadcast programming must be removed from the area or turned off," the order from the Los Angeles Department of Public Health says.

Unless it's tuned to CNN?

Seriously, how can the mere presence of turned-on tvs affect the spread of the virus?!

Regards,

Yeah, because those TVs really spread viruses.

These unelected bureaucrat ‘scientists’ are just as dang stupid and illogical as the politicians they ‘serve’.

[Paul R.]

The rational is apparently that patrons will gather around the TVs, and establishments would be unlikely to have enough personnel to prevent that.

Really? I actually move away from TVs in public areas. In my mind, they are a good way to make people disperse.

C’me on man. They’re just following the science. /S

Some tv can be seen online so
maybe each person can watch the SB
that way unless game blocked somehow

Marxism is ugly.

“to prevent people from gathering at restaurants to watch the Super Bowl”

Hmmm. I know it’s another stupid rule, but...well, I guess the SB will just have to sacrifice for the “greater good” also.

“to prevent people from gathering at restaurants to watch the Super Bowl”

Fauci tried to cancel Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think it’s only prudent that he promote the cancellation of the SB.

[polymuser]

CNN is not pleased.

[Bullish]

I missed the part of the Constitution where it said they could ban stuff, but here we are.

[Larry Lucido]

Of course! Fair is fair.

My guess is they probably don’t want people to hang around in one location watching TV. Eat and get the hell on your way.

No TVs would certainly ease the problem of covid. The less fear porn the better.

[sanjuanbob]

ALL tv can be found on line. Just take a laptop with a good sized screen.
Whole table can watch.

[jacknhoo]

They don’t want people gathering and discussing all the bad news and viewing dementia-in-chief making a mockery of the USA.

When seated your left elbow must not touch the chair at any time and you must use your right hand to eat. Forks only, no spoons because the concave may spread the disease by direction of the California Health Code.

You must have great vision to see that horizon.
