Are you eating out?

Those who go out to eat, when you see Texas and Arizona now shutting down, do you worry about a surge?

I worry about a surge because states like TX and AZ aren't doing enough and allowed the epidemic to get out of control there. Since we really don't have any way to prevent people who live or visit there from coming here, if it's there, it will be here.

We've been doing takeout a lot and ate outside at restaurants a few times. At this point, I'm not really comfortable eating inside at a restaurant. But for the most part, eating outside doesn't seem to me to pose much more risk than takeout.

We have been out twice both times in Rhode Island. Inside at The Coast Guard House in Narragansett. Outside at Brick Alley Pub in Newport. We brought our kids both times. Both places you wore a mask until you sat down. You also wore one when ever you used a bathroom. All of the staff wore them all the time.

We felt perfectly safe with all the procedures in place. Personally I love the six feet apart tables. So much better then the way a lot of places crammed you in!

Friday we will try a place here in Worcester. I am very happy to finally be out and about!
