4_kidd_4 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 My sis lives about 1.5 miles up 20 from the stadium, we’ll probably be over there “tailgating” on their deck for a few games, with a small group of fam. Close enough, and the responsible thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that person dies, would you say the Cancer or the COVID killed them? Joe Diffy had stage 4 lung cancer, but he died from Covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cd1 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Quote No Bills fans, no tailgate, Orchard Park Town Board announces The reason? If there are no fans allowed in the stadium, the Erie County Department of Health will not permit any tailgate activities. Published: 4:31 PM EDT August 19, 2020 Updated: 11:31 PM EDT August 19, 2020 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — There will be no tailgating at Bills game, according to the Orchard Park Town Board on Wednesday night. The reason? If there are no fans allowed in the stadium, the Erie County Department of Health will not permit any tailgate activities. That could change going forward, however, according to County Execctive Mark Poloncarz. "If NYS allows fans to attend Bills games, tailgating will be allowed, but with restrictions to protect the public. Currently NYS does not allow attendance at any pro sports event. Thus tailgating in public and private lots will depend on whether fans can attend the games," he said in a tweet Wednesday night. The Orchard Park Town Board announced that news during a public hearing on Wednesday night, when they aimed to decide on tailgating and whether it should be allowed to go on in private residential and commercial lots surrounding the Bills' complex in the fall. Several local restaurants and bars had also requested permission to set up tents on their properties. The Bills' first home game against the New York Jets is now less than a month away, on September 13. Councilman Conor Flynn sent 2 On Your Side an email last week, noting that after hearing from residents and business people and state and county officials, he is recommending that tailgating should be allowed to go on in private residential and commercial lots surrounding the Bills complex during the upcoming season. Councilman Gene Majchrzak last week saud he was willing to go along with tailgating for now but with a quote "short leash" to revoke any permit if there is a problem. The dissenting note came from Supervisor Patrick Keem, who said it's estimated that the town must cover about $10,000 in police costs for every home game.

Just Jack Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 There will still be people coming to see if any private lots are hosting "viewing parties with their friends". But will the private lot owners risk not being allowed to get a permit to have parking by letting people tailgate? That is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 4th Rhetorical question: Why are so many who are so vocal about safety, so unwilling to take measures to ensure it? Perhaps your answer will determine how well you handle November 4.

corta765 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 The lots will be closed and I expect a heavy police presence will be around in case people try so they can end it quickly. The village of OP already said no to private lots and I doubt they will allow any wiggle room along with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 16 hours ago, RiotAct said: lol, yes it was fully a tongue-in-cheek post. And look, I get that no tailgates isn’t a big deal whatsoever in the grand scheme of things. Neither is not being able to go to games in person. It just sucks because there’s been hundreds of little “not that big of a deal”s piling up over the last six months. Couple that with the government arbitrarily picking winners and losers when it comes to these things and..... yeesh. And yeah I know, WWII ration lines, first world problems, stop complaining, yadda yadda. I have no pity for this type of crap. Awww, you need to wear a mask and stay home to save people's lives? Aww, poor little you. Awww, lots of stuff piling up? Stop whining. Try living through this with cancer, getting radiation, having a suppressed immune system, and being petrified everytime you go outside that some maskless selfish moron gets too close and potentially KILLS YOU. Awww. Don't talk to me about hundreds of "no big deal" things. I'll give you "yeesh." Man up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can actually help your body resist many diseases by staying fit. I'm no expert on death but I think it is rarely a singular thing that leads to it, there is a domino effect of systems crashing. Acurately reporting the deaths' circumstances is important for future data analysis when faced with the next heath crisis. Garbage. Covid kills people with preexisting conditions who normally would be able to live for many years with them. I stayed VERY fit. Still got cancer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for these people to meet their great-great grandparents who would smack the mess out of them. It's not really my thing either but c'mon man. Let the kids have their fun. Except when their fun can easily KILL someone. Screw that, it's a ridiculous notion. How about teaching the kids to care for their fellow man? Wouldn't that be more productive than letting the selfish idiots "have their fun?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Why cant private lots have tailgates? Isnt it their property? If the tailgate was kept under whatever Cuomos public gathering number is (50? 100?) then how can cops justify shutting those down? I dont care either way so dont go attacking me, I just dont legally understand how these could be stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 7 hours ago, Gene1973 said: I've read a study where 94% of COVID19 deaths were due to comorbidity as opposed to sraight up COVID19 deaths. I would say fans should be able to tailgate, and quite frankly attend games. We work in offices with recycled air, and only wear masks when within 6 ft, tailgating and game attendance is outdoors... Where's the study? Link? That is complete bunk. Do you even know what co-morbidity is? Go to the CDC website. If you look at total excess deaths compared to total expected deaths, you get a significant jump. Over 10%, and some weeks 20%. To break it down, way more people are dying overall in 2020 than would have in a normal year. And this doesn't even count people who don't die but are debilitated from the disease. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm Attending games and tailgating would stupid, and dangerous to people who are at risk because a game or a tailgate could easily increase the spread of the disease. We don't need selfish acts like that. Just because you are healthy doesn't mean you can't pass it on to someone who isn't. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
