OT: Restaurants BYOB
- Thread starter 9nationalchampionships
- Start date
I don't know about you but I wish a mask was developed that protest your mouthal ( just made that one up) exhaust and feel good to wear!
Well - many restaurants are now closing again. My youngest coming home and we were going to celebrate with a nice dinner out Saturday night - not.
The profit margins for many establishments is just too tight without alcohol sales. It's a shame and although it's easy for some here to say oh well, these ARE livelihoods and if someone just jerked your business away - again - not sure how complacent you would be.
What's even worse is all the business will be driven to Butler, Washington and surrounding counties.

The woman from the Allegheny County Health Department was on television earlier today and she said the "big three", as it were, are bars, restaurants and people coming back from vacations outside the area. She also said that there were some cases from people involved in the protests, but not nearly as many as those three.
The post above doesn’t bode well for pitt90seven or SoufOaklin4Life’s credibility however.

And while I'm at it - there is a HUGE distinction between testing positive and being sick. Testing positive does NOT mean sick. And there is also a wide variable in "being sick". Achy, temp - i.e. self-limiting vs. in the ICU.
Call me crazy, but I'm waiting for actual hospital data before I start ripping out my hair. In the meantime I respect myself and others. Wear your masks and wash your hands. Protect those most vulnerable. The virus is not going away. But it also doesn't mean PANIC. I feel like we've lost all common sense.
Masks work
The contact tracing is demonstrating where the super spreaders are occurring
I love how you continue to massage your message as more information comes out. Your polarizing “smarter than you approach” is tiring. My guess is you were great on the debate team however.
I get a kick out of the contact tracing gurus now. Most new cases reported being at bars? No friggin way... Most common out of state travelers visited Carolina Beaches.... I can't believe it, no Pittsburghers hit the Outer Banks. Let me guess... Virginia and Maryland beaches were 2nd and 3rd?
Here's the problem. Most people don't know where they got it, and the contact tracers don't know either. At a Southside bar, a bar in Oakland, the gas station, or anywhere else they were. Who spread it to them and where did they get it?
I think it's foolish to use contact tracing info on where people went the last two days as some kind of study on how COVID spreads. There are way too many variables. The value of it is to inform others that this person has tested positive for COVID and you had contact with them.

Have you seen any of the contact tracing models out of South Korea? The visuals of the person who spread it to others mapped out in places like offices and restaurants was very interesting. They included the location of the a/c vents as well. It's pretty interesting.

Dining in a restaurants highly correlated with spread

Here's the problem with contact tracing.
They ask specific questions like "have you been outside the area to travel for work or vacation and where?" Rightfully so.
They ask "Have you visited or frequented any establishments with large gatherings of people such as bars and restaurants?"
They don't ask at all about "did you or come into contact people who participated in the protests?"
Shocking. Things were reopened and the virus spread. Things were reopened and everyone rushed out to restaurants. When everyone was at home, the virus didn't spread. This isn't news or surprising.
Did any of these restaurant goers also protest?
2 second google. Like I said previously, people have to be really dumb to believe that massing people together in close proximith, without proper protocol, won't spread this disease.

One of the first questions they ask in any contact tracing, "have you been in close contact (within 6 feet) of anyone for more than 15 minutes. And of course, none of the protesters have experienced this.
