There has been so much pressure to open things up.  Most Governors are caving.  As individuals, we don't have to cave.  Our state opened the restaurants 2 weeks ago.  I still won't sit inside... outside is chilly but works.

I think Ohio opened up restaurants months ago. 

Not to full capacity, but still, they have been open for a while.

How's that working? 

WA state is at 50% for restaurants.  I'm still waiting for bar stools to re-open.  But only after there's herd immunity.  Or after those pesky virus passports...

I think fine. 

For the most part, people are not catching this at restaurants when the capacity is low enough and 6-Ft is maintained. You saw the biggest spike around the holidays when people started to gather together in their homes or have parties

Compared to other States, Ohio has been OK.

Yes, home gatherings have provided the brunt of infections...

I have been eating in my usual restaurant for since they opened in Michigan, I sit at the counter and social distance. I feel comfortable.

What's the ventilation like? Are there open doors or windows?

Just got back from sitting inside at Lorenzo’s and had a big margarita. They have things spaced out a lot. 
 

It’s a no from me on having vaccination requirements to go places. While I think everyone should get it, who can, it should still be a choice.

Do the owners of a business deserve a choice, one that relates to the level of risk they choose to accept, and that their employees are exposed to?  An individual can still choose to remain unvaccinated, but their choice adds some small increment of risk to everyone they come in contact with.

Decent, doesn't feel stuffy, just the opening and closing of front door though.

It's true, the individual has a choice. But private business and government offices also have a choice.  Mmmm... margaritas.

The biggest risk of catching Covid-19 in restaurants is to the workers, not the customers. They work long shifts in close proximity to each other. You can socially distance a dining room, but not the kitchen.

I've been reading this off and on for a while and just shaking my head. While all you 🐑 have been wearing your masks, staying home, preaching about "the science," taking shots of a poisonous vaccine, patting each other on the back for how obedient you've been, trying to one up each other on who got there shot first. I never stayed home. I've been to truck stops all over the country for fueling, showers, eating inside restaurants, eating salads prepared by the truck stop, filling my coffee mugs, getting maintenance work done, to shippers, receivers, dot inspection stations, rest areas, casino's, etc. etc. the list go's on. No mask, no nothing. Grow a pair and think for yourselves.

Remember, it was "science" and the science of engineering that gave you a truck and makes it run.  And puts money in your pocket.  Don't be so quick to discount it.

Lots of macho, manly stuff there. Impressive.

Please tell us more about the "poisonous vaccine".  $10000 to your favourite charity if you can identify it. And why is the word "science" in inverted commas? Because people who believe in "science" can back up their arguments and make you feel dumb? Because they think they're better than you? I'll bet you have lots of friends who think the same way you do. Proves a lot, doesn't it? I'll bet all the truckers and waitresses and casino workers you hang out with agree that it's all a conspiracy. And you'd present that as evidence to support your idiotic prejudices.

Your deranged logic would imply that because you have driven around the country and eaten in lots of places and met people along the way and the fact that you are not dead it is proof that the pandemic is a hoax and that the "sheeple" are being compliant.

If everyone was like you there'd be several more million dead. To willingly present yourself as such a fu**ing  moron beggars belief.

Luckily, most people here do think for themselves. And maybe that's why most of them are still alive.

Are you talking about Fauci and big pharma friends laughing their way to the bank? I somewhat understand the reluctance. 

But masks?? Why can't it be common sense? What makes you think that a person wearing a mask is only doing it because they were 'told to do it'?

I work for an automotive parts manufacturer, haven't stayed/worked from home a single day in the last year. Been to a hundred restaurants when they opened at 50 percent capacity. With family. Done trips. All while using common sense. Never needed anyone, a political head, or social media, or any other blind affiliation to tell me to do what I can think through by myself. 

I AM thinking for myself.

Hey guys,

I wouldn’t let this guy and his esteemed opinion rile anyone up. Either he’s intentionally trolling or he’s woefully unaware/ignorant of the facts available to all who care to investigate. As you guys know, regardless of truth, people see what they want and discredit what they want to suit their preconceived biases, pointing to their own personal experiences as undeniable, unequivocal, evidence of their stance while ignoring the actual statistics of the entire population. You can explain it to him, but you can understand it for him.

Good post. I wonder how many people have been infected and became seriously ill or died due to people with his attitude. Typhoid Mary comes to mind. She was immune but infected thousands.

Is that the same science that said it was ok for hollywood to continue life as normal, and still have there catered lunches, but tell the restaurant next door to close. The same science that said if you gather at restaurants and have a party your going to kill people, only to find out that's exactly what they were doing. The same science that said if you drive from Kalamazoo,Mi to your second home in the U.P. you were going continue the spread, but said it was ok for a trucker to take a load of bicycles there for Walmart. The same science that said if we don't shut down we'll all die, but MILLIONS of truckers, truck stop employees, Walmart, Amazon, Target employees, local gas station employees, all the shippers/recievers, could stay open. Why hasn't there been a massive uncontrollable outbreak of truckers getting this, or the truck stop employees? There should be if you "follow the science"

    • Day 34 - 2024-11-03 Ten minutes of work before Junior Elite this morning. Woke up "early" because of the time change.
    • Day 185 (03 Nov 24) - More work with the irons, well just the 6i, hitting into the net focused on setup and tempo.  Really more about the latter rather than former.  Slowed tempo to more of short punch swing, contact much improved.  
    • I ended up playing Shingle Creek GC in Orlando bc what I found online said The Magnolia Course had some temporary greens and/or teeboxes.  It was just a month after Hurricane Milton, though Orlando was mostly spared. Shingle Creek was only 2.5 miles from our hotel, so very convenient.  The entire course was in great shape, and the staff was friendly.  I shot a ho-hum 82 from 6300 yds, mostly bc my putting currently sucks.  We didn't stay for lunch bc my wife and I had massages booked at the hotel and we were on a time crunch.
    • Well this has been a disaster of a summer, regarding playing. Played the least amount of golf in a summer since 2008. Yips on short game to partial wedges came in full hog. Full swing continued to be ok. Putting was the best part of my game. Handicap went from +2.5 to now 0.0. The number of rounds were low because I taught much more. Numbers are up over 50% from last year. A great thing but my own game was sacrificed and it annoys me a little. Short game really suffered from lack of play and practice.  I had rounds where I would lay sod over the ball, from the rough with a decent lie, looking at a simple chip from barely off green uphill to a pin. It would happen several times a round. I resorted to putting or using a 2iron to chip with. Obviously the less short game shots meant full swing was good. But, if it was off a little, I was screwed. My right wrist, elbow and knee all buckled and jerked right before impact. I couldn’t stop it. Tried everything I could think of. I went through a week occasionally that something would work, but never stuck. I remember not even having a club in hand. Just looking down at the ball and knowing I was in trouble.  A couple weeks ago, I watched a short game chef video on chipping and it has really helped turn my short game around. Yips aren’t completely gone, but very minimal now. Most of my issues now are distance control as the flight is slightly different. It was clear that I was too steep before. But I also realized I was decelerating quite a bit and trying to compress it for spin. Now, I’m much more neutral in setup. I’m really focusing in the very beginning of my take away and making my chest do everything there. If hands do anything to start, it will be a yip chunk or skull. I’m Trying to take shorter backswings and accelerate more through the ball without a feeling of “compressing” it. Allowing my draw biased motion to do its thing.  It’s resulting in much higher ball flights which means distance control up to 75yds will have to be reworked. The ball still has plenty of spin. I’m also able to use any club now to chip with versus feeling stuck with one.  My goal this off season is to try and break 60 from the forward tees at my home course. It will focus my game on tee shots and short game. Putting has become almost second nature and am not worried about it. Most of all, I need to figure out a better balance next year between work and play. Maintaining a high level of play is important to me (especially to my stress levels 😆).
