If I were to control businesses, I would certainly shut down the bars. People can buy their alcohol and drink at home. When you are influenced by alcohol, you are less likely to use safety precautions in the confines of a bar. In order to drink, you take the mask off and your loud talk shoots the COVID laden droplets through the air. Your drink becomes a swimming pool for anything floating through the air. Your bar stool becomes a damp spot laden with COVID. I stay out of bars for their toxic nature.
If that is the case, what do you tell the bar owners and staff that lose their business and lively hood?
