As of 11 a.m. Sunday, bars that do not serve food will not be permitted to operate at all. All other bars and restaurants are no longer permitted to serve food within the establishment, and can only sell takeout or delivery.

This is a very confusing statement. It sounds like a bar that serves food can remain open and serve food on the premises while any other restaurant can only sell takeout. But that would make no sense as a means of limiting contagion.

The year after I graduated high school I worked as a waiter at a family owned restaurant.

Half or more of my income in that job was tips.

If this curfew had been in effect during that year, I would not have had that job and the family that owned that business would have gone out of business.

About the only take out that I know of they did was when somebody was in the city jail. The local police got the jail bird food at this place because it was close to the jail.

All of the wait staff, all of the bartenders, all of the bar owners (whether they serve food or not) are going to be out of jobs and out of business. No bar can make a go of it unless they are serving drinks.

I read it as no Bars open at all at any time. Restaurants that have a bar in it can only do take out or delivery so no patrons inside. I am not sure but this is the gist I get.

I wonder if the Mayor believes he will get money from the government to make up for the loss in revenue. People are going to lose.
