You can't pass a flight medical exam if you are colorblind, interestingly enough.  You also can't be diabetic (they may have modified that rule).

This is a Class III, the lowest class.
When I was flying Apaches, we had a great young lieutenant come up diabetic on his annual flight physical.  He was permanently grounded.  He didn't want to transfer to another branch of the Army, so he received an honorable discharge.

https://247sports.com/college/georgia/Article/Coronavirus-SEC-Commissioner-Greg-Sankey-confident-CFB-College-Football-season-starts-on-time-SEC-145460208/?fbclid=IwAR0C5Ow5UFvmpzlbo4BkmPjf4fR4I21ExbxlWnwAkDbweZca1gaFUBG1zCI

“The focus is on beginning the football season labor day weekend like we’re accustomed to,” Sankey said. “I do think, my focus is on, how do we help our teams prepare so at some point we anticipate emerging from this stay at home, social distancing expectation. Our (leaders) will guide us through that so I don't think anyone really knows (when the coronavirus will end). There's all kinds of predictions.”

While Sankey seems confident the season will be unaffected, ESPN commentator and former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit would be “shocked” if there were college football this Fall.

I think Sankey is saying nothing here.  He's trying to intimate a feeling of optimism based on ... hope.

Governor Cuomo closed the "broad" definition of construction services today, which will probably trickle to other states. Like mine.
Our regularly scheduled bid opening went as normal today. 

Walz's stay-at-home order starts tonight. You can already see the effects of the work-from-home edict on the automatic traffic counters. RTMC hasn't needed to turn the ramp meters on in a week. 

Minneapolis Parks has already closed a few parkways down by St Anthony Falls, with the idea being to give more space. I don't see a Chicago-style trail shutdown, but I've been surprised before.

Just joined our nightly 8 PM applause on the balcony "tradition", one I'd like to be over soonish.

I doubt this happens, but it's an interesting thought.

Of course the SEC schools would be whining about how they have to play their games in extreme heat and humidity.....

IF the virus abates this summer (which is by no means assured), I fear fall practice will start up and maybe two games are played and then it is shut down.

Polio virus was more active in the summer.

We're virtually guaranteed of opening things back up too early - having the virus flare up again, and basically delaying normalcy another 2 months or so.  
Watch it happen.
