[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The science is there for vaccine mandates, mask mandates, social distancing, and anything that encourages people to be fully vaccinated/boosted and wear masks to prevent further spread. [/quote]

maybe when it comes to real vaccines that actually prevent the infection and spread of a virus. but the covid vaccine does neither. Just means you won't get really sick.

If we can all catch and spread it then a vaccine mandate and card does nothing. Looks at the areas with high vaccination rates and how they are still seeing a huge increase in cases right now [/quote]

The data is clear, and unfortunate. The mandate in DC has pretty big loopholes too.

Try to support your local small businesses, if you can. They are barely holding on as it is. I wonder how many from MD or VA will be less inclined to go out to eat in DC? Dine in helps margins for sure, with drinks, etc. Tickets for take out are smaller and rarely get tipped on. And now a staff member has to be deputized to enforce this. In places that have a lot of take out orders seems that confusion will be likely to ensue, thinking Starbucks and other fast casual without a host/hostess at the door. [/quote]

Well, tough sh**, what do you want us to do? We cannot go and dine indoors.  Yes, it would be terrible if our favorite restaurants close and wont' make it, but it's not our doing! It's up to the restaurant and other business owners to stand up to the ridiculous experimental measures that failed everywhere already.  We, the customers will take our money where we are welcome - in NOVA. DC will suffer, it's the outcome of bad policies.  And even if DC government wakes up and feels like removing the mandates, it will make them look stupid, so they will keep them going for a while.  I am sorry for DC restaurants and hospitality industry.  We have a family employed there and I am genuinely worried[/quote]
