Some clips from the article:No more than three households-
All gatherings must include no more than three households, including hosts and guests, and must be held outdoors, lasting for two hours of less. All gatherings must be held outside. Attendees may go inside to use restrooms as long as the restrooms are frequently sanitized," the statement added.Masks must stay on after eating and drinking-
The new rules state those at a gathering "may remove their face coverings briefly to eat or drink as long as they stay at least 6 feet away from everyone outside their own household, and put their face covering back on as soon as they are done with the activity."Singing and shouting "strongly discouraged"-
"Singing, chanting, shouting, and physical exertion significantly increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission because these activities increase the release of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols into the air. Because of this, singing, chanting, and shouting are strongly discouraged," the statement said.
'Musicians are allowed at gatherings but they must be from one of the three households. The playing of any wind instruments (those that are played by the mouth, such as a trumpet or clarinet) is "strongly discouraged," according to the statement.'Never did I think I would see the day the government would be regulating our family holiday gatherings. I doubt this will be the end of it.

@Floyd : Wow. Sounds like a good time. I'd rather stay home and eat a TV dinner. But in reality, no way that any of this can be enforced.

Removed By Request

@Floyd : Stuff like this makes me glad I left that State.

We usually go out to eat with my parents but I got a $3 turkey in the freezer from Randall's closing so I'll be busting it out. I doubt we'll be going to Time Out this year either.

Nice 👌

@Floyd : No, I don't see this spread of government control stopping. It's mind-blowing that people think this is "okay" because it's for the good of the people. To what end I would ask. Taking one's freedoms is not the answer and will have grave consequences if allowed to spread.

This is happening in the USA. Unbelievable. I have no intentions of getting together with our usual Thanksgiving-group family members because we have some high risk people in that group. And, I sure don't need the government to mandate common sense to me. Ridiculous.

LMFAO! How do they have a serious face while writing this stuff down in their meetings. Like who do they think they are? " give em an inch, they'll take a mile".

Never give these command and control types any of your liberties, even for what they call the common good. They won't give it back...

#JustCancelTheHolidays

Sounds like Stress levels will be down overall as a result....Sadly, alcohol sales will probably be down too as people won't need to consume as much as a "coping mechanism"....

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you!
Please dont vote Democrat!
Nooo..... I'm serious , it's coming!

It's sad but they lost control last time and it spread like wildfire. The IQ 's in Cali are probably not as high as some other areas and maybe they need the prompt. We will not be gathering with our extended family either. Way too many on DIL's side and sister is afraid to contaminate us, as her kids are all over the place.
It's going to be a sad gathering of 6 I guess.
