Too bad some people just don't seem to get it. And you can take that statement any way you want...

While some of them are openly defying the rules based on principals, I imagine most are doing it so they do t lose their business. Good, bad or otherwise.

Maybe they should stop voting for people that are blocking relief to their businesses

It's split into 2 sections, a small dine in area with 4-5 booths and 4-5 tables on one side and the bar side has maybe 30 tables.

Rules in our county are 25% occupancy or 25 people in a restaurant. I walked in and EVERY SINGLE SEAT was taken. 100% occupancy. There was a line to get in for carry out.

Servers were wearing masks, but I saw 2-3 servers were wearing these chin shield masks that barely covered over their noses.

https://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Anti.../dp/B085RSRN4D

I left a bad review on Yelp for this place, which is a place we love. It's one of the 2 restaurants we've been to outdoor dining since March. It's also super close to our house, we can and have walked there one of those 2 times we ate outdoors there.

I get the need as a small business owners to want to stay open, I do. That's why we've supported them pretty regularly, but what I saw was ridiculous. I don't think I'll be supporting them anytime soon.


It’s been largely the same where I’m at here in VA. Once it got cold all the outdoor diners went inside. We’re limited to 50% occupancy and while I’m not sure of the legality, most places seem to be counting their makeshift outdoor dining areas as part of their occupancy limit, so a lot of indoor dining is as packed as it would be on a typical Friday/Saturday night pre-covid.

I had been doing food delivery up until places started filling up in the fall. Thru no part of this past year have I been willing to dine in, so it started to seem especially stupid to waltz into restaurants that are packed with maskless folks to pick up food for some rando.

I've had to write off the majority of the places we eat at unfortunately. The Mask compliance and occupancy requirements aren't being upheld at all.

There's a couple of places we go to that have consistently been awesome, so there's that. I can still get tacos, sandwiches, coffee and pho, lol.

I sent a nice letter to Lego a few weeks back. The Lego store was the only place in the mall following occupancy etc.....

It seems pretty straight forward to me; If you're not willing to maintain some basic requirements to prevent spreading a virus during a pandemic, I no longer have any faith in your sanitation process during regular times.

I know they're hurting, well over half my friends are in the service industry or own restaurants etc. But it's a volatile industry even in the best of times, and loss of profitability should never be a reason for endangering public health.

And this is supposed to disprove me?

You fight for no taxes, you get exactly this. Suck it up, nothing is guaranteed which is why we are supposed to have safety nets.

This situation was inevitable and caused by them. Sorry but your small business is not a corporation. Period. So stop voting for things that are only giving you crumbs.

Here's how our household is doing this.

Right now we are 4 people in our house. Me, my wife, our 5 year old kid and our 23 year old niece who is currently working on her Doctorate in PT. I tested positive in my weekly test at work (I work IT for a nursing home company and have been required to come in to the office every day since this all started, but I bitch about that MUCH more in other posts) last week. Test done on Tuesday, results wednesday night. Right away everybody in the house masked up. I moved myself and a couple of weeks worth of clothes to one of our spare bedrooms with it's own full bath. Niece has had run of the basement suite so she can study while staying with us. So she's already somewhat isolated. Wife kid and niece test thursday morning. Niece's rapid test came back "Inconclusive" but wife and kid both had PCR tests and they came back negative. We inform his daycare that he would be out for 2 weeks as a direct contact with a positive. Wife goes on FMLA for 2 weeks as well. Friday our niece does a PCR test and it comes back sunday as positive. So, 2 positives and 2 negatives in the house. Anytime anybody is in the common area of the house, we are masked. Wife and kid do not use "my" bathroom, nor come in to "my" bedroom. To get to the garage in the basement, we go around the side of the house instead of through the living area in the basement. This friday will be 10 days post end of symptoms for me, and the CDC says 10 days from the start of symptoms, so we are giving it another 1.5 days more than CDC says. I did have the first round of the pfizer vaccine before I tested positive, so we are betting that shortened the duration and should make me more likely to NOT be contagious.

Take-aways. We are lucky that we have enough spare rooms that we can do this. Wife is lucky that she has enough sick time that SHE can take the 2 weeks for this. We are lucky that she and our kid did NOT get this as there is no vaccine for kids yet. Even with masks, I do my dead level best to stay more than 6' away from them at all times, and share common space as little as possible. KN95 with an additional cloth mask over for me and our niece and a KN95 for wife and a well fitted cloth mask for the kid (KN95 will not fit his face, so a well fitted cloth mask will do MUCH better for him.).

Nothing is guaranteed, but we need guaranteed safety nets?

Inevitable and caused by them?

I know it’s really easy to hate anybody trying to make a living owning a business, but maybe put yourself in their shoes.

the reaction of the person who reads that is going to be to fire the store manager and put someone in place who will allow more guests in.

We did something similar while it was just the wife who was positive. She isolated from all of us. Masks while we brought her food or took out dishes or garbage. She would be on day 10 per CDC from first symptoms today I believe but she came out yesterday afternoon when it was confirmed that Twin 1 had it.

Twin 2 still has had no symptoms, but since we were all together (me and the twins) all week, if 1 of us has it we all have it. The logistics for the family to all isolate, which is damn near impossible for twins who spend nearly 24 hours a day together for 10 years. Sure, they have separate bedrooms, but they share a bathroom. We opted to have wife come out of isolation into the house with us and we're staying isolated from everyone until mid Feb.

I know the hospitals I work for have negative pressure covid rooms, so does isolating in a house with a standard HVAC do anything? Won't her coughing germs last week have gone into the HVAC system and spread around the whole house anyways?

Got the 5G microchip installed today. Was kept for additional 30 min. for observation due to listing food allergy on the form (Probably helping build up data collection for those who could have vaccine allergic reaction). Other than slight dull pain at injection site, nothing so far. Unable to sync with phone, no signs of improved reception, nor signs of super powers manifesting.

They needed to make sue you didn't choke on your own throat. Then you would have been data.

A single dose of Pfizer's vaccine may be less effective than the drugmaker had indicated, Israel's COVID-19 czar has warned.

Nachman Ash - Israel's equivalent of Dr. Anthony Fauci - said the protection offered by the first dose is "less effective than we had thought," Army Radio reported.

"Many people have been infected between the first and second injections of the vaccine," Ash said, adding that the protective effect appears "lower than [the data] presented by Pfizer."

The pharmaceutical giant has claimed that trials show it is roughly 52 percent effective around 12 days after receiving the first shot, the BBC reported.
Israel is turning into quite the testing ground.

and it's not just the business owners that are affected. staff, vendors, lease operators, etc.

but hey, I presume the new leaders have, or are being inaugurated, so we'll all be getting enough money from the government to survive until covid is gone.

the answer isn't as cut/dry as 'businesses need to remain open' because obviously, when people are mingling in close proximity indoors, that's when this thing spreads the fastest. but the answer also can't be 'close all the businesses' cause that has some very direct and serious effects too.
