On my news feed I see a lot of things being rolled back in the US by local/regional governments ie restaurant service, etc. While that may be a different path than much of rest of world, that seems the sensible thing to do at this point. Do readers think this will help to mitigate numbers?
I think most of our reopening plans tended to be focused on capacity limits. The mantra was about not having too many people in one space at one time.
Maybe if the concentration was pre-thought out in regards to focusing on outdoor and social distancing without indoor it might have been easier to start that way rather than roll back in terms of nation-wide. But there were places that were prohibiting outdoor activities that were actually low-risk so yeah.
Different areas reopened different times so I could see ones that haven't reopened yet or in-person dining was in a later phase it makes it easier. In my area they are allowing parklets and parking spaces and lots in specific areas to be used by restaurants which I like. I myself prefer outdoors over indoors.
In my area it doesn't seem that rolling back is occurring at this point most places have allowed dining for 2 months in various forms. But places periodically close for exposure. I'm ok with that. I think the places that have to have more consideration are schools in terms of plans, which many of them do now, because it's more difficult to open/close/open/close without contingency plans in place.
One of the pizza places we go to is presently closed down due to an employee (asymptomatic) being positive. I'm not all up in arms blaming people for wanting it open..it's been open the whole time anyways as there's no indoor seating in that location (and no outdoor seating either).
A Chick-fil-A location closed down due to 10 employees testing positive. Their issue was all employees were symptomatic and were not using proper health precautions so more like that location failed. That location had been open for months and was not closed down other than in-door dining.
One of the library systems (although on the other side of the state line) has had to close temporarily 2 locations in separate time frames due to a positive case but libraries aren't really associated too too much with the economy other than staff personnel who may have continued to be paid during shut down depending on the system.
But these examples don't cause me to get upset and jerkish towards people.
We're just starting the mask mandates around here so we'll see if that helps out more. In my area we've been open longer than some other areas and our numbers didn't start really going up until mid-late June even with increased testing so I'm not entirely sure it's majority this thing or that thing. I think they would rather try the masks first in combination with the parklets and parking spaces but we'll see how it goes in my area.
I couldn't remember which state it was and what the controversy was, it was an article like this from the Huffington Post:
