+1. The DH Board knows and agrees that the governor's regulations are stupid.  They also know that they have members who have clearly indicated they won't even try to comply or make their kids comply with the distancing mandate, which makes guidance to self-police meaningless.  They also know there is one a-hole who has contacted the state in the past to try and get the pool in trouble.  They can't win.  I wish my friends and neighbors would realize that their fellow pool members on the board will change this once the governor changes the regulations.  They are focused on their job as directors of the nonprofit entity, which in part is about managing risk.  None of them are happy with this.

If a private club has members who are clearly saying they won't adhere to the club rules, then why wouldn't you just kick them out of the club? It is odd to put extreme measures in place for your entire membership to manage a handful of rogue actors. No wonder your members are so upset. [/quote]

To put this in context, DH is counts as members both McCrazy who is famous on the APS forum and the guy who started the entire alcohol kerfluffle in Northern Virginia two or three years ago.  This board is dealing with all kinds of crazy as it balances member desires with risk mitigation and compliance.

On the plus side, with the governor's announcement today there's light at the end of the tunnel for everyone.  With luck he'll lift the pool restrictions even sooner.[/quote]

I'm familiar with McCrazy, but not the alcohol kerfluffle- please tell me more about that.

and on the subject of why does a board cater to its most conservative members?  We don't really do this, but i can see the temptation- its members who threaten to report you to the health dept for non-compliance.   [/quote]

If someone called a county health department to complain that members weren't adhering to the 10 ft rule, there is no way the health department is coming to investigate. If you are talking about Arlington County, the county officials there said early on in the pandemic that the county was not going to expend resources to enforce social distancing. Remember that fuss about The Lot last summer? The County Board said that it was up to patrons to self-police, which is what enflamed the Open Schools crowd-- because, wherever you fall on school reopening, it is a true statement to say that the County has turned a blind eye toward social distancing EXCEPT in the case of schools. No way will the health department show up to investigate a private swim club simply because someone calls to say that people aren't standing 10 ft apart in the pool.
