I really enjoy drinking outside, great pastime.

I'm generally in favor of drinking everywhere.

To be surrounded by other people that also value things I value at the same rate and it should not matter one bit to anyone else because we are still going to both be wearing our masks at the places where others may feel they have to go which is the nice middle ground of mitigation. Need me to wear a mask in common areas? Sure no problem. Need me to wear gloves? I got you. Need me to have temperature checks? I would love to. Need me to shut things down or tell me where I can’t congregate with like minded individuals? No **** you 

Would prefer the property owner determine the terms of service, not the government.

If only it were that easy. The problem is that others haven't been taking personal responsibility. This is not your fault, but we are all left to deal with the fallout therefrom. You can blame the anti-mask crowd for a lot of this, along with a lack of leadership. 

I don't pretend to know where hospitalizations and deaths will ultimately be trending, but it is a major public health concern if the healthcare system gets spread too thin. You have to respond in the face of a potential public health disaster. You look at the list of activities with the highest risk for spreading the virus and bars are at the top. I also think we should be temporarily shutting down gyms, pushing back the opening of theme parks, and restricting other activities that are high-risk. If all they are going to do is close down the bars for a little bit, it is a waste of time. Bars alone are not responsible for the virus spreading like wildfire. So from that standpoint, yes, it is stupid and designed to placate the masses. We could sure use a real leader right now. Unfortunately, our choices for Governor were mop head and the meth head that is into gay escorts. What a time to be alive!

Just like they do for sanitation, guns on the premises, capacity, and a plethora of other things, right? If people and businesses could be trusted to make smart decisions for themselves when it comes to matters of public health then we wouldn't be in the position we currently find ourselves.

I just had plans that were really important to me and I do not cope well when things do not go my way or someone tells me no. No one that anyone would actually want to run for office would actually run for office with the current scrutiny and it is unfortunate.

If we learned anything from Game of Thrones (and if you didn't, what was the point of watching) it is that those that wanting to ascend to power should automatically be disqualified from running for office.

I haven’t watched any of it (I much prefer romantic comedies) but I have used the “I would never be a part of any club that would have me as a member” line before.

If you want to go out without a mask that's your right, but letting it impact me is not.

I am actually ok with wearing a mask and agree with you. In regards to social distancing, if you came within 6 feet of me I would kick the living shat out of you to protect myself as well.

I'm really into Korean Dramas right now, great stories, without the gratuitous sex, violence, and harmful stereotypes in the current stuff coming out of Hollywood.
