[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has some of the most stringent COVID policies in the country and has done very little to support businesses hurt by this. Keep restaurant and stores open unless you're going to compensate them for loss of revenue. A vaccine is almost here.[/quote]

I am very careful in my personal life but I agree with this.  At some point, people are going to hurt more from poverty than they will from Covid. I don't plan on going to inside restaurants this winter but if others want to go, let them.  [/quote]

This is so backwards. We should compensate workers and and small businesses AND shut down indoor dining. It will be much, much cheaper in the long run. The idea that we have to keep the businesses open for economic reasons will seem extremely stupid when the result is the virus getting out of control and killing a bunch of people this winter. And you understand that the people working in indoor dining will be among those who die, right?

If we just paid people up front, but closed this risky activity, we are more likely to make it to the other side with less death AND less economic loss.[/quote]

I agree. People aren't opening to spread covid. They are open because they need the revenue. If the demand for $ is alleviated, then a shutdown is much more palatable. [/quote]
