A quick definition of ordinance:

An ordinance is a local law made by a city or town. It tells people what they can and cannot do in that place. For example, an ordinance might say that cars cannot turn right on a red light. The ordinance has the same power as a state law.

A more thorough explanation:

An ordinance is a type of law that is created by a municipality, which is a local government. It is like a rule that people who live in that area have to follow. Ordinances usually say that you can't do something or that you have to do something. For example, in New York City, there is an ordinance that says you can't turn right on a red light. This means that if you are driving and you come to a red light, you have to stop and wait until the light turns green before you can turn right.

Ordinances are made by local governments, but they still have the same power as state laws. This means that if you break an ordinance, you can get in trouble with the law, just like if you broke a state law.

Other examples of ordinances include:

  • A noise ordinance that says you can't play loud music after a certain time at night
  • A leash ordinance that says you have to keep your dog on a leash when you are in a public place
  • A smoking ordinance that says you can't smoke in certain areas, like parks or restaurants

These examples show how ordinances are used to regulate behavior in a specific area. They are created to make sure that people who live in that area can live together peacefully and safely.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
