The New Risks of Dining Out While the pandemic is easing in many places, more contagious variants of COVID-19 make this moment riskier for workers and diners alike (Good Grief)

They want there to be no small businesses left.

I take the view:

“Live it up while you are here. It’s not God is going to let you off this rock alive. Have a good time while you are here”.

Pretty sure raw oysters and vodka cure just about everything....

[Vendome]

I am in food service industry

Been at work everyday and still no one is sick.

Not even our drivers.

"...ordinary people in San Francisco have for exaggerating the risks of the ‘Rona and loving the lockdown. Makes no sense to me at all."

Good points...
As for the "why", IMHO it is due to several (probably 4) decades of government schools acting as communist propaganda agents with the goal to destroy the American dream with a socialist fantasy...

[Vendome]

Zactly

[digger48]

But the bath houses and glory holes are okie dokie

[Vendome]

Nope.

They are already framing the Climate Crisis and explaining that there will be another plandemic....

[ThunderSleeps]

Face it, there are powerful forces at work. Entities that want us to fundamentally change how we live our lives, how we interact with each other, how we allow ourselves to be governed and controlled. They will keep this BS up as long as we let them. It will be fear after fear, from one crisis to another. All with the common trait: we must do what they say, live as they command, if we want to survive. The climate scam was an earlier attempt - but too few people bought into it. In the instant gratification culture we've created no-one really got too excited about what might or might not happen a hundred years from now. Dire predictions for shorter time frames failed to materialize owing to the false premise they based fear-induced control 1.0 on. A virus killing people right now though, that got people's attention. But they had to make it appear bad enough. Why do you think some of the initial actions were so obviously counter productive? Why people would oppose travel bans, place infected back in nursing homes and facilities with the most vulnerable? They had to create an immediate crisis to take power. Now they want to keep, even expand on it. We are going to have to fight to return to normal, to shake off this yoke we have all too meekly accepted.

Elazar Sontag, one of the city’s resident 50 IQ apes, warns that eating can kill you.

Please send Elazar Sontag the ape a bag of peanuts.

[MayflowerMadam]

We’re doomed.

[GreyHoundSailor]

In the nearly 11 months my State has been shut down, there have been 185 deaths. 175 of those were all over age 65. The ten who weren’t had other issues.

But it’s still too dangerous to fully open the schools.

[Secret Agent Man]

yeah

they have anothrr engineered one to go, 2021 timeframe

I just got back from having lunch on the patio at my favorite coffee shop, The Village Pantry in Los Altos, CA. Perfect weather and sunshine today. The private courtyard patio is delightful. I walked about town to get some chocolate afterwards and I was the only one on the sidewalks with no mask.

You probably underestimate the kooks thinking your daughter might not have a first date until after high school — I’d guess after college the way things are going!

In the Peoples Free Republic of Florida even the Golden Corral Buffets are open and packed.

Forget about moving here though. You will have to swim through alligator and shark infested water to get to the Golden Corrals.

[Captain7seas]

And believe it or not but in Florida we can watch TV in the bars!

[heavy metal]

what’s even better is we can watch other people living their lives freely...

“ So now, it’s up to diners to differentiate between decisions made with public health in mind, and those fueled by economic or political pressures”

Public Health and the health of the economy are not opposites and are not seriously in tension here.

As I often say when asked about some phony tension, “if this was airborne Ebola, we wouldn’t be discussing it”

The Establishment which set this up to get Trump are like the dog that catches a car - they’ve gotten Trump, they need to de-escalate, and they are finding that they can’t.

[Bonemaker]

What won’t they think of next?

[EEGator]

Ever go to the Winchester Mystery House?

[lightman]

Chew on this:

There is a lot of REAL science indicating that COVID—like cruise ship noroviruses—is spread primarily be fecal to oral transmission.

Let that sink in.

Remember about a year ago when there were a few quickly buried stories about communities in the New England states that were going to start testing sewerage for COVID?

Let that sink in.

Now consider this: In many States (Pennsylvania and Ohio for sure) the mask mandates are explicit that those in restaurants MUST wear a mask INTO THE RESTROOM where of course that cloth will absorb all toilet odors and other zhit.

Let that sink in.

Then the patron MUST wear the zhit laden mask back into the restaurant so that with every exhale the patrons innocently eating pancakes can get a dose of the restroom zhit.

Let that sink in.

Still hungry?
