D&D and the rising pandemic

[Zardnaar]

Last night's efforts, gamestore owner took a picture.

Covid alert levels got dropped.

He's organising events every night alternating between games and charging for the tables but it's store credit.

DMs get a bit more so picked up Theros and a PHB almost free. Extra two tables from pre lockdown.

12 cases today all in qurantine at the border. 10 were from India. Looks like community spread is eliminated again 2.0.

Most cancer patients I know- and I unfortunately have known quite a few- have the office number of their oncologist or at least their primary MD stored on their phone or on their pill vial. A quick call would solve the issue.

Found the filing info and a couple of documents: Docket for MCKNIGHT-NERO v. WALMART, INC., 1:20-cv-01541 - CourtListener.com

If we believe the plaintiff: "The security guard stated that he understood, but that the Walmart instructed him to allow only “seniors” to enter the store". The plaintiff (and police officers, at one point) also asked to speak to a manager but were denied. If we only listen to the plaintiff's side of things, sounds like something Walmart might want to settle.

OTOH, there's wiggle room in the story for Walmart's side to have some different details. Looks like Walmart filed boilerplate motions to dismiss, extend, etc. As a non-lawyer, the motion (and timing) to make it a class action change looks to me like an effort by the plaintiff to say "settle with me now, or I'll cost you lots of legal fees".

Well, you can’t just file a lawsuit as a class action. The class has to be approved by a court. The bar isn‘t trivial, but neither is it set super high. The court has to believe that there’s some evidence of a pattern of behavior or circumstances that make a class action is the best route for the legal system to take.

And the line about the police dismissing the necessity of proving her disability via her handicap plates is interesting as well. If true, it gives some we to her claim- it’s a demonstration that she was willing to try to provide some kind of proof that she met the entry standards. Add that to the manager’s non-appearance when the police asked to talk to him/her...

Not looking too good, Wallyworld.

OTOH, everything is being held up pending Wal-Mart’s Motion to Dismiss, which had enough ooomph behind it that it wasn’t immediately ruled on.

Well well well El Presidente huh?

It was long overdue. But don't expect this to change his tune about Corona. The POTUS probably receives the best medical care in the world, but wouldn't it be a plottwist if he simply died from it right before the election?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I don’t know if it will affect HIS position- I doubt it will- but I have to wonder about those who still think this is a hoax. I mean, will they finally grok that the pandemic is REAL, or will they simply shift conspiracy theories?

Will the First Couple’s illness be evidence to them that C19 is real...but created in a lab as a weapon that has now been successfully deployed in the White House?

Oh, darn. Look an idiot just caught CVd19.
Hope it doesn't kill 'em.

Yeah, that'd throw a wrench in things.
What does happen if the incumbent candidate dies just before the vote? I don't think they ever covered this when I was in school.

The Vice-President becomes President upon the sitting President's death.
He also in effect becomes his Party's Presidential candidate for the election.
