“Judge Nowak said he understood the concern about Erie County being in an orange zone while other regions around the state like the Albany area post higher COVID rates and are not currently in any zone. An attorney from the state contends that the rates are not necessarily higher for the Capital region.”

SO FUCKING ALBANY HAS HAD HIGER RATES AND NEVER WENT INTO ANY ZONES?!?!!

Fucking get out of here.

So I’m curious. (Never read the actual lawsuit and what the stipulations were after winning) However I saw that the 91 restaurants that sued and won are able to operate at 50% capacity. Does that mean they don’t have to operate under yellow but rather just 50% while the rest of Erie County has to follow the Yellow rule and have no more than 4 people per table.

@yamba6 looks like all restaurants can operate at yellow zone levels now.

I think he’s questioning the 4 people to a table limit. That’s imposed in yellow, but not imposed against the restaurants that filed suit? I didn’t read everything but that’s what I’m interpreting his question to be. Are those restaurants who won the lawsuit able to operate still at slightly better tolerances than the rest of the county that’s following yellow zone restrictions?

@livin4hockey my understanding is it’s still 4 people per table at all restaurants.

I’m for this only for the reason of hearing a helicopter over my house every single weekend starting at like 7am and happening every 30 minutes or less. Suddenly my house is in a flight pattern and one where a helicopter can fly at like 1000ft above our homes.

I drove through prior aviation (or whatever it’s called now) to kill some time and let my sons look at airplanes and there were probably a dozen or so higher end vehicles with Canadian plates, with several more being offloaded from a trailer. I assumed this was the helicopter scam for rich people…

They have private helicopters making 30 minute trips while loading their vehicles on a car hauler which then waits for them when they get off the flight.

Seeing as it’s not going through the main terminal for the Buffalo-Niagara Airport I’m really curious how much screening is happening with these people in terms of testing for covid and/or quarantining.  
If funny that the rich have a loophole while the rest can’t do a damn thing.

Well, we all knew this was going to happen:

> “I just fired up Photoshop and changed the date,” said one man who admitted to Motherboard that he forged negative COVID test results for a group of friends. “Fun fact, the document [test result] was in French whereas they were in Sweden the day it was supposedly made, but they didn’t see a problem in that.”
> 
> Another recent traveler, who took a vacation to Southern Europe, breached the rule by changing the date on an old test in Microsoft Paint so it appeared to have been collected within the required test time window.
