Restaurants and bars are becoming a problem

Posted by Dave_K on June 30, 2020 at 08:11:39:
My wife and I were spending a lot on take out to help keep a few of our favorite restaurants afloat. But as soon as they were allowed to resume indoor dining, the places filled right up again and they weren't limiting themselves to the allowed 50% capacity or maintaining the 6' requirement. So we've since stopped patronizing them.

Our case curve was on a slow but steady decline for 6 weeks, but for the last week it's been flat and deaths have ticked up.

And now we're coming into the 4th of July holiday week which is big for tourism in the NH lakes region and White Mountains. This past weekend I saw plenty of campers and loaded SUVs on the road heading North with out of state plates from places as far away as Florida. There's a lot of restaurants and bars who make most of their revenue on summer tourism and the NASCAR race (which is postponed). I'm not confident they're going to follow the guidelines, as they need to make as much as possible this week.

On the other hand, I don't see a lot of risk from outdoor spectator sports if they're limited to a reduced capacity that allows for social distancing, and if everyone wears masks.
