Yeah, I saw that exception in the California notification. That such gatherings are allowed if you know people, because it's "markedly different."
The issue isn't that YOU are at risk, but rather YOU can become a carrier. As is it possible for EVERY other person there to be a carrier, and thus expose HIGH RISK populations as a result of your other contacts - which you presumably don't avoid either because those too are "markedly different."
NBA suspended. MLB suspended. NHL suspended. MLS suspended. Disneyland and DisneyWorld closed. Countless Universities closed. Countless School Districts closed. Businesses closed. And the list goes on. -- And then there's AMA clubs, still sponsoring events.
