Why wouldn't I? We all know that Covid only comes out at 10:30 in bars that serve alcohol. There are mounds of evidence to prove this theory. The local health department just knows that we in the general public are too stupid to understand that data so that s why they never present it as evidence.

Because of my superstitions, I won't ACTUALLY be going anywhere. (The one time this season I watched the game somewhere other than my home, we lost to the dang Raiders.) But, under normal circumstances, COVID wouldn't keep me from attending a Super Bowl Party! #RunItBackToBack

We have placed enough on business owners already. Especially small businesses which are the main reason for employment and enjoyment.

This time of enduring a pandemic is not the time to skulk about like a predator seeking to profit from frivolous lawsuits. Small businesses have enough strikes against them thanks to the IRS.

The health department shut down a Columbia bar over the weekend for following the health order. Some say this sort of power is an infringement on business owners' rights.

Business have to make money to employ people. I have never agreed with the mayors stupid ideas about masks. He has destroyed many businesses in town the Executive Center comes to mind. I will remember when it comes time to vote.

Will Mason

Unelected people should not have the power to legislate. Their orders are not law since they have never faced voters.
