In California, businesses are setting up tents in the parking lots so that people can dine in again. But think about how stupid this situation is. The county says it's unsafe to eat in a building, but perfectly fine to eat in a makeshift building (tent).

Also, we have to wear a mask to enter a building to pickup a to-go order, but you look at the people preparing food in the kitchen, and none of them are wearing masks.

And it's safe to gather in huge crowds if you claim to be with BLM or antifa, but it's unsafe to go to church or other small gatherings.

Why are we still being forced to pointlessly jump through hoops, just so a bunch of Karens can feel a little safer? When are all these lemmings going to wake up?

Its interesting how ironic that the countries in the far east which people looked up to their COVID19 success and lack of mask stigma due to their culture and past experience with SARs nowadays mask wearing is no longer a requirement this summer.
For example Taiwan has just lifted their metro/subway/train mask requirement but interestingly cases did not go up because of this. The mainland now also has no national mask requirement, but a lot of things are in secrecy there.
Mask wearing was always voluntarily in Japan even though at some points in time about 80% of the population wore it.
I am surprised that food preparers are still not required to wear mask I be curious what would happen if a health inspector shows up. I did remember back in April when masks were discouraged and no one in the kitchen wore masks in most restaurants and even in medical offices only the doctor wore a mask but no one else wore it.

Locally restaurants workers, etc are all wearing masks. The sooner we comply the quicker we will be done with the virus. Asian countries get it.

Residents of Asian countries made various independent choices to wear masks because of the filthiness of their unscrubbed coal plant air.

American leftist neurotics watched and emulated their attire (without comprehending the rationale), but were then too self conscious to without demanding the same of everyone around them, which soon morphed into externalizations about others' absolute need to.

Meanwhile you've brought society to an indefinite stop, with no path toward normalization of your work, educational, recreational opportunities without catcalls that they're ever too risky.

Why wear masks? Why social distance? Because these actions work.

Kitchen staff not wearing masks? You should complain to management and report that to proper authorities.

Also, what kind of tents are you talking about? I haven’t seen any tents outside.

There is zero evidence of that.

And also your medical devices belong only on you.

Honestly, I hope we have a cultural shift so that anyone who thinks they are sick wear masks in public long term. It isn't an inconvenience, and can help protect others from getting sick.

Why do we keep driving on the right side and stopping at stop signs? Why do we keep the safety on the gun when we're not wielding it? Why do we wear helmets while riding a motorcycle? Why do we have airbags in our cars? Why do we avoid touching a hot plate? Why do we wear eye protection in a shop? Would you believe somebody who told you we don't need to do these things? If they did, would you suspect them of stupidity?

You can find evidence all over the world where countries have come out of their crisis. Even this country has shown that masks and social distancing work... New York City... right?

All you have to do is open your eyes; even better, open your mind and your heart.

Faces and spaces!
