An ex-coworker is leaving the US and I want to have a going away party for him.

What are the actual legal limitations that have been put in place around gatherings?

There are none that are legally binding. That said, be smart and stay a little away from each other. Live life, not in fear.

The "minimum recommended health protocols for Texas"

Quote:

Individuals may not be in a group larger than 10 individuals (including those within the individual's household). Within these groups, individuals should, to the extent possible, minimize in-person contact with others not in the individual's household. Minimizing in-person contact includes maintaining 6 feet of separation from individuals. When maintaining 6 feet of separation is not feasible, other methods should be utilized to slow the spread of COVID-19, such as washing or sanitizing hand frequently, and avoiding sharing utensils or other common objects.

Probably no real consequences for violating it

I've hosted a couple of parties. One with 50+ people, over the day not all at once. Another with 30. I used individually wrapped utensils from sams, had hand sanitizer in every RR and by the food. Tongs for chips, paper plates, etc... individually wrapped straws. I dunno. It's exhausting to think of every detail to make folks feel safe. Hell I used a paper plate to blow out the candles on my birthday cake. I miss double dipping.

It's on the commode tank is lid. .. I have soap too but folks need to lift the lids. I obviously don't police the RR but it's there "in an ABUNDANCE of caution". I know I know.

Depends on your county judge. We are fortunate to live in a county where ours has basically said none of it will be enforced.

Just call it a protest against his move and you will have zero issues.

You double dip at large gatherings? That's nasty. Might as well serve cigarette butts from the ashtray outside the mall.

We have had a few gatherings of 20-30 people and all have been outside with plenty of room to spread apart if you want. Same as above, disposable everything and hand sanitizer. At first some people wore mask (oddly a certain political party) but took them off since it is Texas and realized they could just take a step back if someone was talking.

No one had Covid so no one got it. After seeing our gatherings the people that were afraid to had their own (kids birthdays) and everyone was good there. We have done some indoor stuff too but 10 people or less. It depends on the age of everyone too, younger parents with kids under 10 we don't really care but if the 60+ year old grand parents are coming we try to keep things mainly outdoors for their safety and lower chance of spread. I travel for work so if anyone gets Covid it will most likely be me.

Nah. It's true. More germs in the food itself (especially dips) than transferred by double dipping ...



Not nasty at all ... truly fake news.
