[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been going to Tysons/Arlington and McLean and have eaten indoors about 1/week. Either running errands over there, doing shopping or just getting out of the house. [b]No issues[/b]. Feel perfectly safe. I’lll be out at my favorite Italian place in Cabin John next week. Can’t wait. [/quote]

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

All those people who got covid didn't have covid, until they did.[/quote]

True. I have never been hit by a drunk driver either...until I do. Guess that is the risk I am willing to take.[/quote]

That's not really the right analogy.  It's more like someone saying I never wear a seatbelt, and I've always been fine.  Just figure that if your chance of something happening is about 1% (just pulling a number out), then you can do it, on average, 99 times and be just fine.  Then think about a restaurant that serves 200 people per day -- every day, 2 people there getting sick and spreading it around to others in the community.  I'm not sure if the risk level is 1%, or 30% or what -- but it definitely depends on how high the community spread is at the moment you are dining.[/quote]

I am not sure what the odds of getting hit by a drunk driver are, but i bet they are higher than catching covid for a healthy male in his 40's.  Neither getting in an accident or catching covid are great outcomes, but it is all about how comfortable one is with managing risk. I am perfectly fine managing the risk of both. Some aren't, and that is ok too. [/quote]
