In the course of the interview, it came out that sports stars who come to town are exempt. Being the geek I am, I found the source document and, sure enough, apparently the virus is so wicked smaaaht that it avoids sports and rock stars - and their retinue:
2. The following individuals are exempted from this Order, and therefore may enter a covered premises without displaying proof of vaccination, provided that such individuals wear a face mask at all times:
b. A performing artist not regularly employed by the covered entity while they are in a covered premises for purposes of performing;
c. A professional athlete/sports team who enters a covered premises as part of their regular employment for purposes of competing; and
d. An individual accompanying a performing artist or professional athlete/sports team into a covered premises as part of their regular employment so long as the performing artist or professional athlete/sports team are performing or competing in the covered premises.
In truth, this seems modeled after the NYC mandate, because the Manhattan variant ALSO magically doesn't infect sports and rock stars just passing through.
As Grampa Dave said, these sorts of things demonstrate that none of this, is about health.
Thanks the ping on a great post. Who is that old goat, Grampa Dave?
I read an article last night about an interview with the new mayor in Boston, who got blasted when she rolled out their new mandate that patrons and employees of restaurants, fitness centers, and entertainment venues be vaxxed.
