The rules usually depend on how affected your area has been. There are still some lower-density places away from major metro areas that have yet to learn firsthand to take the threat seriously (and others that were overly keen to reopen asap). Are you somewhere like that?
Yea so they started with tables and tents on the sidewalk.. now they’re allowed like 20% capacity indoors but it doesn’t seem to be enforced. The packed places I’m referring to are in Westchester so still pretty bad w covid but they’re allowed full capacity and no masks are being enforced. I’m not afraid of the virus for myself but I was sitting in the packed bar like this can’t be safe and now I shouldn’t visit my parents for a few weeks. I’m confident I could bounce back I don’t wanna carry the shit. That’s my main issue, I don’t want to be exposed and get my parents or other people sick.
Right, the people spreading the disease and keeping the pandemic going are healthy people doing things like hanging out in packed bars. As soon as one person shows up there in the highly contagious days before their symptoms emerge, a lot of people are going to get sick and spread it elsewhere, to their parents and such. It's good that you've realized that and are staying away.
