Any chance this impacts the building trades on large commercial projects ? I'm on a school right now, probably 200 or so people on an average day.

This certainly qualifies as a mass gathering

Important clarification in the announcement.

"This recommendation does not apply to the day to day operation of organizations such as schools, institutes of higher learning, or businesses."

I don't believe the intent is to shut down any place where 50 people may be present.



So what's the point ... I am not an expert so I have no opinion either way but if you make those exceptions then the recommendations are useless .. instead of spreading it a local concert your spreading it at schools and businesses ... Either it's important to stop the spread or it's not ... But this middle ground seems kinda wierd to me

To reduce the speed at which the virus spreads so that they can "flatten the curve." It isn't about stopping the virus (that is a lost cause), it is about trying to prevent a spike that overwhelms the health care system.

I don't agree with all of these recommendations so I 'm not defending them.

However, if you work at a plant where 100 others work that isn't a place where the general public comes and goes. IE it's not like people from all different places coming together to see a movie or go to a concert.

I assume that's the reasoning but I believe most of this is post Katrina government panic and all agencies feel they have to do "something" to show they are responding. I can't tell you how many useless emails I have gotten at work about this.
