    Again, bars are not remotely closed where most of us are.

    I wrote out an entire response to some of the above, but I've deleted it. Some of you are just exhausting. It's not elitism, it's not a hoax. It's a deadly virus that isn't as deadly as it was 9 months ago because of science. But I still don't want to catch it and I miss my routine, my friends, my family and my old life.

Besides, a bar is pretty essential to the family that has its life work and savings invested in it. Or, we can just blame them for having a terrible business plan and not having a years savings in the bank.

    How about this? Send out agents from the liquor commission to shut down the places you are complaining about. They could clean this up in one night by yanking their licenses for a month. There are plenty of places doing the right thing, and shouldn't be punished because of Cleveland.

    I have zero kids. I have friends with kids. Every single kid (that I know) is now in school and not learning from home.

    Seriously? You’re still trying to push this nonsense?

    Food is essential. There are tens of millions of people who can’t cook at home and need restaurants to be open.

    Please stop this absurd argument that everyone needs to make all their food at home.

    Yeah, plenty of places it’s totally fine. That’s why it’s blowing up in all 50 states and especially in rural areas. Right.

    As for your other stuff: again, if we had a government that actually attempted to help people we would not have to worry about people keeping their bars open. If we are going to say “it’s just too much money!” Let’s just continue ignoring the trillions we spend on the military budget to “protect American citizens.”

    You are being absurd. There are not tens of millions of people who can't cook at home. Besides, many people who were ordering out had the full capability of making food at home if they wanted to.

    No, it's blowing up because of private gatherings where there are no masks or social distancing.

    Between seniors, the homeless, people who live without kitchens (which is a large number is cities) there are tens of millions of people who need restaurants open.

    It’s funny, you want restauarants that serve food closed, but bars open. I mean, anyone who can go to a bar, can make a drink at home. Why aren’t you screaming at them to stay home? (Answer: you don’t like eating out, but you like drinking out).

    It’s blowing up because of everything. Again, I don’t think we are even attempting to trace cases in bars and restaurants. I know some other countries are but we simply are not.

    You are just making up facts, as usual.

    And you don't know anything about me. I don't care about drinking out at all. You know why I even go out at all? For live music 90% of the time, and baseball or football the other times. I have literally hundreds of bottles of wine at home, but you know what I drink when I go out? A coors light, because it doesn't make me fat and it's an easy sipping beer because I honestly don't even like beer. If I do get wine, it will be in a retail place that has a patio with music, and we'll sit outside and drink a bottle.

    And one other thing- I never said that I want restaurants that serve food closed. Not sure where you even got that. In fact, in Ohio, you can't even have a bar that doesn't have food too.

    I think restaurants and bars should both be open, and where I live most are. They were open when our number of cases per day were miniscule, and they're open now. Perhaps the reins need to get pulled back on them a bit (more limitations on capacity as we head into the winter months and cases are spiking), but I don't think there's much cause and effect between open bars and restaurants and number of cases.

    Exactly, set the rules to be open and then bring the hammer down on the ones that get out of hand. The liquor license is a prized possession in Ohio at least, and it would keep businesses in line.

    Right now, indoor bad, takeout/delivery good. There's a finite amount of indoor gathering we can sustain at this moment. Markets and certain types of retail (e.g hardware) need to be on that list. Schools should be too. If you can get and keep your schools open without seeing community spread rise, then I'm all for expanding the list of what we can sustain. Yet that's the cart, not the horse.

    Well, it's a fact that McDonalds and Taco Bell contribute to the obesity epidemic here, but I guess that's ok.
