I agree Dave and yes, liability is likely a real concern...but since when exactly, did the responsibility for catching the flu, a cold or anything remotely similar, become dependent on rifle matches instead of an individual responsibility? Crazy times we are living in, for sure.
I guess when governors started making unconstitutional executive orders limiting what we can do and how many can participate, is when it started. I can certainly imagine someone getting and dying of covid at a match that was held when/where or with too many people than "allowed", turning into a field day for some lawyer. I would say that a match held that violated one or more of these executive orders that ends up with someone getting sick, dying and/or spreading it to others putting a lot of liability on the club, club officers, match directors, the sanctioning body and possibly even attendees.
Again, crazy times, crazy lawyers and a crazy system without any value placed on personal responsibility.
