Many bars, restaurants and businesses have been under restrictions for almost seven months. The governor’s early orders strongly discouraged church gatherings. Is it science? Is there some logic? Please answer me this:
1. What kind of germs grow on a bar top that don’t grow on a table top?
2. Does the food you have to order to purchase a drink have some mysterious properties to protect you?
3. How does leaving dirty dishes on a table until you leave protect you?
4. Why are bars, restaurants and businesses severely limited to capacity, but protests and elaborate funerals are not?
5. How are businesses supposed to survive all the restrictions?
6. What happens when it gets too cold to have all this outdoor dining?
7. When a lot of businesses cannot survive and close, where is the revenue stream for the governments? Higher taxes?
8. How is it that 20,000 people were allowed at a car show in Carlisle, but bars, restaurants, etc. are limited to 50% capacity?
And, finally:
9. Where does it end?
