when sat at a table your breath is more confined to one area and you are social distancing strangers by them not being at your table.. and the only people at your table are in your own social group. then masks are less needed
This is pseudo science bullshit. That's not what the science says. CDC says 15 minutes of contact "in totality" with an infected person within 6 feet is enough to put you in a high risk category for Covid.
well if your going to stand at the bar breathing over the barman for 15 minutes.. they want you to mask up
however if your sat at a table and they are doing table service where they come to you for your drinks for just 10 seconds they dont mind
common sense
if you are lingering around the common area for 30 seconds. and then another customer does the same.. it only takes 30 customers before that common area is a hotzone of 30 different breaths that may have it.
hense.. wear a mask as you walk in and pass the common area. and take off the mask once in the socially distanced tables
common sense
oh and if you dont like it. well its the landlord/bar owners freedom to chuck yo out the bar if you are putting his staff at risk due to your ignorance. so how about get some beers ordered in from the store. and stay home and live in your ignorance away from others.
the other option if you want to remain a numbskull. is that you have to have a stick up your nose and checked to see if you have it. meaning waiting around for 30 minutes before being let in..
.. now how upset would you be
so take the compromise. bars/restaurants dont owe you anything. they definitely dont want patrons that want to spread illness round on purpose(as you evidently want to achieve)
