You can't eat with a mask. Table service in a restaurant means eating. Somebody will try to reopen a restaurant. (unemployment, premium)

As opposed to Georgia where our GOP governor was very slow to do so.

The result? Georgia has twice as many cases and twice as many deaths as Ohio.

With roughly 2 million less people than Ohio.

Yikes.

I'm the one that started the thread when Kemp found out Covid can pass from an asymptomatic positive to another person.

Talk about closing the barn door after the horses have run off.

Trying to rewrite some history there? Trump is the one who's been vocal about reopening this month.

It wasn’t just liberal folks staying away from restaurants before government took any action. The last time I was at my favorite restaurant the manager stated the owner was talking about laying people off Ther were about eight people eating at the time when usually there was twenty to forty. People ain’t gonna risk death for a meal.

I keep saying there's a simple solution to this: simply space the tables socially-distanced apart. Duh!

Are you in the restaurant industry?

If your restaurant normally seats 50 and you remove half the seats to allow for distance (which still may not be enough, depending on your dining room configuration), then you’ve effectively lost 50% of your revenue. Your rent stays the same so...

Restaurants, particularly in urban areas, are designed to maximize space. You can’t just add another room on.

I'd listen to the experts.

Why don't you invite a bunch of your Trumpie friends over to your place for a social closeness party? You know, stop whining and put your money where your mouth is.

Yeah, with a hole in the mask for the straw to go through.

Meat smoothies. IMO yuk. I'd settle for milkshakes.
