[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'm not sure what the purpose of opening them is -- do people really feel comfortable to sit inside and eat with masks off? [/b] I'm happy getting takeout.
I do wish more restaurants would repurpose their wait staff to do delivery.  I hate grub hub and ubereats, and would order about 5x as often if I didn't have to get dressed to go pick it up.  [/quote]

That's the part I get stuck on. I haven't eaten inside a restaurant since March, and the reason isn't the ban on indoor eating in restaurants. The reason is that I don't want to sit inside a building with my mask off, and a bunch of other people with their masks off, to eat.[/quote]

But many people feel differently than you and, with the ability to get business from those people, restaurants might have a chance to survive and serve as a vital part of our economy.

No one is saying you will be forced to dine in if you are not comfortable.[/quote]

Your argument is that people should be allowed to do covid-transmitting things if they feel comfortable, because if enough people feel comfortable doing covid-transmitting things, that will keep the restaurants afloat.

[b]The restaurants aren't in trouble because of coronavirus restrictions, they're in trouble because of coronavirus[/b].[/quote]

I get what you're trying to say, but its simply false. Restaurants would be doing much better if they were allowed to open and serve alcohol. Peoplr would go and eat and drink at restaurants despite the risk of COVID.  It is, in fact, the restrictions that are hurting restaurants, not COVID itself.[/quote]
