Eating outside is at least considered less risky. If you're uncomfortable with eating out that's certainly understandable but I can think of more terrible ideas that people engage in right in their very homes.
No, not ridiculous at all. Better yet, cook at home. Slow the spread.
You're not the only one who thinks the Tweet is a bit dumb.
No, this is beyond ridiculous. It is insane and unrealistic. Looking at the graphic though- keep on mask while seated and looking at menu, take off while eating, put back on when finished with your meal. That's what I do anyway the few times I have been seated inside a restaurant. I'm not doing that while patio dining outside. I'm just getting really tired of being scolded, lectured and told to keep six feet apart, wear a mask, and wash hands. Yes, I know- I'm not living under a rock.
I think they meant the putting on and taking off of the mask every two seconds. You really didn’t get that?

I got it. I was being facetious.
I can live with that part - I'm in a place where masking and distancing aren't really political or ideological "hills to die on" and compliance is generally very high. The message is constantly being reinforced and my family and I, as well as most people we know, follow the mandated requirements to the letter. What I do resent is the implication that it all isn't enough; that prudent people wouldn't dream of eating indoors at restaurants even when all involved are 100% compliant. Why? We either trust that our authorities (who are setting the rules) know what they are talking about or we don't.No, this is beyond ridiculous. It is insane and unrealistic.

I have eaten in a restaurant twice a day for at least the last six weeks, and once a day for about four months before that. About half and half inside vs outside, and this in many different countries. Breakfast is always a buffet, self service. Masks not always required to enter. But I agree with you that restaurants don't seem to be a source of outbreaks (again, not talking about the US, things may be different there)
I'm fairly sure tracing isn't all it could be and I also find it curious that no cases (or very few) are being attributed to restaurants, airplanes, mass transit and what-have-you. It's really not that logical but then again, what is?
We are seemingly full-on into a surge in our province and I've yet to know one single person personally or even reasonably closely associated, that has actually had Covid.
