Just how important is hitting the bar anyway? (2)
Orzzz: My state is spiking covid cases. Especially a couple counties. One is where the state capital is and is also a major university city. There have been huge protests.
The city was allowing more opening to businesses. Of course, open a bar and the herd mentality kicks in. Of the new cases, only 12 positive said they were at the protests. 75% said they went to the bars.
So the mayor said that is it...bars are now closed unless they do carryout or have outside seating and can social distance. Restaurants are back to 25% capacity.
Now the Tavern League of Wisconsin is suing and screaming the bars are being picked on..maybe it was due to protests. (see above).
Economics is more important than lives to the League that depends on dues from bars. Some bars and restaurants have remained closed due to the owners feeling too much risk.
My guy said he can't see why everyone wants to sit in the bars, altho we did some when young. I said the difference is we went with a couple people or alone to see who was there. Now the kids text and FB and whatever and arrange to meet lots of others at a certain place.
It is just the way too many young people's attitudes are these days. They have never been told no, disciplined or taught to listen or use common sense.
After some got sick, they said it wasn't worth it. Too late smart.
If they wore masks, stayed away from each other and didn't crowd, things would have be fine. Now that they proved different the greedy Tavern League screams not to protect the bar owners , but to make sure they get their pound of flesh.
I had stopped going out for three full months, and then things relaxed here, and I started again. Now they’re tightening up even worse than before...it’s just not much fun so I’ve self-isolated again, and I just don’t have the desire to go out until things are the way they’re supposed to be, and I know that may be a long time. So tired of it all.The city was allowing more opening to businesses. Of course, open a bar and the herd mentality kicks in.
