And regardless of what they did, they were in a restaurant! Who cleaned it? Who served them?

new rugs. Any rugs for that matter. Peeing puppies ruin rugs and floors.
My current bulldog is super clean. he quivers in horror when our foster dog poops in the house.
Even with waiting 5 days then testing, you still might have a false negative. It’s at 10-14 days that you have reassurance that you won’t get it. There are no ways around the 10-14 days of quarantine. But people still try to cheat the system.
Exactly!
I wish they would at least admit that they broke the rules. But nope. They justify themselves.
If it was legal they DID NOT break the rules. Period. So was indoor dining legal there or not? Because if it was they did not break the rules.
Now was a smart thing to do? No, it was not.
But our government is ridiculous. It expects people to entirely figure out what the smart thing is to do on thier own, if it does not shut dangerous things down. The thing is noone can do this entirely and not everyone is extremely informed either, heck many are barely or are not literate in any population, don't speak the language very well and it gets lost in translation, etc.. So they aren't the informed consumers of their fantasies and the government officials do KNOW that. And even if one considers oneself informed, one knows that restaurants are dangerous: but there is an outdoor gym here, it sounds like a party going on all the time, it's partly outdoors has a tent roof, chain link fence partly covered for walls, but it is *partly* outdoors. Machines are probably bare 6 feet away, people are huffing and puffing, are they wearing masks, legally they need to be but I have no idea, let's assume so. Is that gym legal? Yea. Is it safe? I seriously think it's a superspreader event waiting to happen! But I don't actually have the knowledge to really figure out what the real risks of that gym are for certain (and yes I'd like to go to the gym, but I'm not risking covid). I understand about indoor spread, I understand about outdoor spread being many orders of magnitude less. I don't understand what the heck THAT is though. The advice about outdoor spread being relatively safe was probably for people distanced in a park or on the beach with no roof or walls and much more space between people, or for people briefly passing on a walk for 1 minute, not for a situation like that.
Trees don't grow on money
yes, And I agree with most of the rest of your post too.
as for restaurants and that party – the restaurant around the corner from me, a block from me, is where I’m spending money these days. I didn’t go there often prior Covid but it’s a respectable restaurant, I know the owner, I know she struggling, and I can afford to drop dollars there.
So, of course we are required to wear masks when we go there and the servers wear masks. She set up two large tents outdoors with heaters. We ate there once last month with friends and it was charming, And I rather enjoyed the crisp air.But when I walk by there now the tents have sides. Only the ends ends have no coverings. So now I’m not willing to eat there outside again because I don’t see how that setup is significantly different from eating inside.
she has a large party room and I observed last week a wedding party occupying the space. There’s been at least one other party that I’ve seen there. While her indoor restaurant has tables spaced far apart, I couldn’t see that the party room was spaced differently than usual.
She also opened up a takeout deli which I initially groused about, but now I see the wisdom of it. So that is where I spend my weekly money with her establishment, in the takeout food area because I’m certainly not gonna sit inside during the winter,And the outside accommodations are barely different from inside.
Rules: I was referring not to the law, but to the recommendations from every epidemiologist in the world..
One more reason for IrisLilies to not get another pet just yet - wait until you get your allergy testing done to be sure that you are not developing animal allergies. It can start at any time in life and cats are the biggest offenders.
You may not need the government to quack on about it but apparently other people do. When Kansas instituted a mask mandate in July they allowed counties to opt out because "muh freedumb" overrides keeping people safe. The counties that did the mandate saw their case counts start to fall. The "muh freedumb" counties saw their case rates double during the same time period.
