@co-hoosier There was no ban on outside activities. I played more golf during COVID than the year before COVID or the year after. No less than 3 days per week. Our Thursday golf league never paused. Did more jogging too. Outside activities were a great break from teleworking, and a necessary social activity. No masks required, except in the clubhouse so we all sat outside and socialized. I personally went in to work more than just about anyone there because I hated teleworking. I had my own office with a door so who could complain about it?
Wtf are you talking about?

@aloha-hoosier our kids couldn't go to a fing park and play here. no school. no parks. no sports leagues. just the worst of the woke dems locking everyone down here.
@bar-down I didn't live in St Louis. I lived in Ohio and my favorite outdoor activity is golf and I played - a lot. At some point in 2020, I stopped jogging outside because my knees couldn't take it any longer, but I could have run outside whenever I wanted. Many people did - probably more than pre-COVID because people got stir crazy. I had a treadmill and I'd stay on that for an hour or two at a time. I had a large flat panel TV directly in front of it and I'd watch shows and movies that my wife didn't like (history, war, horror, etc.). Watched a ton of shows and movies while also getting a workout (walking and running intervals). I enjoyed that part of COVID actually, but overall, that time in our history just sucked. As a country, we added more restrictions than we should have, but we're not the only country that did. I hate masks as much as anyone, so I only wore them when it was absolutely required. It never bothered me when others wanted to wear them. Still doesn't. Why would I care if it makes them feel better in public? Besides, I lived in Japan where it was common for people to wear masks if they were sick. They're very polite people.
@dbmhoosier dumbass. Golf was not curtailed in Ohio. Not in the Dayton area. Every state was different. I wasn't talking about any of the places in your Twitter Twit Tweets.
@bar-down Is there some reason you think I supported that shit? I've made it clear many times that I didn't. I only made a factual comment about the outside activities I engaged in during COVID. That's all. No need to continue complaining about restrictions that happened in your area. I didn't like any of them anywhere.
Here in Indy, local government closed 5 streets to vehicle traffic, all dominated with restaurants/bars, and allowed those establishments to expand their outdoor seating into the road. This started as early as May. At the time, the wife and I lived at East/Ohio, and would walk down to Mass Avenue for dinner out. It was actually pleasant, and the street was alive with people strolling along. Of course, I wasn't a business owner, so my story doesn't address the hardships of the situation.@dbmhoosier dumbass. Golf was not curtailed in Ohio. Not in the Dayton area. Every state was different. I wasn't talking about any of the places in your Twitter Twit Tweets.

Here is what AI says:
No, the federal government did not issue a blanket ban or total closure on outdoor activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, federal agencies like the National Park Service kept many outdoor spaces accessible while closing indoor facilities, visitor centers, and campgrounds. Broad restrictions on outdoor recreation were mostly decided by individual state and local governments.
@arthur-dent definitely a state and local municipality issue. primarily cities and counties

Aloha out here lying for sport.
- Reopenings: The city's remaining municipal course, Community Golf Course, eventually reopened on May 15, 2020, under strict social distancing rules. Other area courses, such as Miamisburg's municipal PipeStone Golf Course, also faced brief, temporary operational shutdowns later that summer following a positive employee COVID-19 test.
LOL! I didn't live IN Dayton and have never played their municipal courses. I actually lived in Beavercreek, and I played golf at least 3 days a week - mostly on the military courses, but on others occasionally as well. I didn't play any of those listed courses during COVID. In that list I've played Pipestone a couple times but not during COVID. There are a lot of courses in Ohio, and I was unaware that any were closed, but OK about those. So what? I NEVER played them during COVID. You're very stupid trying to play gotcha with your extremely limited intelligence and your perpetual ignorance. That was truly a pathetic effort. Now STFU, you POS.
Anthony Fauci.
Thats not a compliment.
Its a condemnation of him and our inept and incompetent administrative function of government.
Im talking about the swamp.
Like The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Fauci rose from the muck of the federal bureaucracy. Anthony Fauci was never elected, never treated patients, is not a health policy expert, and is not even an epidemiologist. Why would we give a shit about what he said? Well, he was the top creature in the public health establishment of the U.S. government swamp. He grabbed the reigns of power the moment Covid became an issue and not only never let go but tightened his grip. Fauci snowed under those who were in authority and who could contradict him. But he didn’t do it alone. The media quashed every single health professional who contradicted the Fauci view and dismissed them as quacks. “Disinformation” became the buzzword of the time. California even passed a law prohibiting medical professionals from providing disinformation. For his part, Fauci used a system of public health research and grants to build a support base. The Swamp quickly turned Covid into a political mission as many saw it as a way to make Trump look bad and get rid of him.
The government response to Covid was an abject failure. Kids needlessly missed school. Family gatherings were cancelled. Masks were everywhere. No outside activities. No preventative health care. And more. All because of the swamp ( deep state) and a single individual who could take advantage like nobody ever had before.
The important question facing us is not what to do about the next pandemic, but what to do about the public health establishment swamp.
It's always the little ones you have to worry about the most. Always!
The answer to the problem is cut the federal government by 80% and move to sound money.
@

So why is Fauci getting the blame?
Correct. This is why those who blame Trump for the overall government failure don’t know what they are talking about. Simply stated, the President does not have the authority to do what many think he should have done.
@bar-down exactly Fauci had the megaphone and he used it. Media elevated him to the Covid guru. He spoke and people listened, especially governors and mayors.
