[@FerryTeunisse]

The key to your misunderstanding of science is in your own sentence. "Small" stores are less square footage which means it takes less time to fill up with the covid particles. Covid infection is amount of particles over time. So a GIANT open store like walmart with correct ventilation and people on average going in and out in like 15-20m is an infinitely less likely infection source then a small restaurant/bar where a lot of people spend hours in close proximity. That is science. Louis is absolutely right, those tiny boxes they built are effectively incubators and the worst place to eat. You would be better off INSIDE the restaurant with 25% occupancy. I wish people would understand this very important part of virus infection. It's not an 0/1 problem...it's a amount of particles over time problem.

Saying "believe the science" is a huge part of why people don't. Science is a method, not a belief. Once you make it a belief, it becomes a belief to be rejected.

[@hellishcatt]

Science is a way of thinking, logical critical thinking, to be able to see the different between straight idiocy and what's not so idiotic, not about what's "right" or "wrong", the rightfullness of something is relative to every person. And that's mostly why people don't follow with science, it's misunderstood, people force science as this "right" thing, even though in my opinion it is, others may not see it that way, and there's of course the people who choose to disagree on something no matter how right or wrong it is! Another point is, the higher ups want it to be that way, if people were to have that scientifical way of thinking, then they would be actually smart people, and said higher ups don't want a vaste majority of people to be "smart", that will make them less and less profit, as "smart" people are harder to fool, therefor harder to exploit for pure self benefit.

[@TheArnoldification]

My thoughts exactly. You shouldn't have to "believe" in science because the foundation of good science is a theory that's backed up by a good argument. It's a logical process of trial and error, not magic (although I suppose it would seem like magic to the scientifically illiterate lol)

I concur. I’ve been in the HVAC since industry for 22 years. I’ve contacted the Department of Buildings in regards to proper ventilation of restaurants for indoor dining.

this really is an American problem, much like gun crime and mass shootings. most governments around the world said "We are going to make you close your business while we get this under control, so we are going to cover your costs and most of the staff wages, you get to pay your bills, have money to live on, your staff get paid 75-90% of their normal take home pay that is capped to a maximum amount" everyone closes, while not a benefit to them, they get to pay the bill, eat, and stay home. when the lockdown is lifted everyone goes back to work and life carries on. the problem in the US is that businesses are told to close, and that's it. oh there was that what $1,200 payment that equates to what a few cents per day? and that is to be used to pay all the bills, including keeping a roof over your head, food on the table, heating etc. so people look at their options and it boils down to, stay home and I'm F'd or carry on working as normal and there is a small chance that I will die (people don't tend to think about the long term effects of having COVID) and given those 2 options, they are going to choose to carry on as normal, but then there is also the right wing.... and the "alt facts" especially regarding things like face masks, but even this is kinda understandable, as wearing a mask you are mentally thinking that things are not normal and you are risking your life and the lives of family members, so wearing the mask has a guilt factor, which people really don't want, because they are doing what they need to survive. if they really don't want to feel like the bad guy, they can't wear the mask, so they jump on any really stupid argument so that they then can justify to themselves not wearing the mask. when you look at it from a "I really don't want to be F'd" point of view, it's understandable. but it's completely compatible with the American mercenary way, the "dog eat dog" "every man for himself" mentality.

@@kingzach74 For starters, a significant number of scientists are religious (ranging from 30% to 90% depending on the country), so that is neither here nor there. Secondly, if you studied history you would know that science and politics is often closely tied together via various formats. These formats being: 1. Political party & or government funding of research and development programs 2. Political leanings of the scientists 3. Ethical standards (or lack thereof) of the government the science takes place in 4. The influence of government dictating what can and cannot be researched 5. Military funded programs 6.

Science is not about picking sides. It should be all unified where experts with differing views chime in and come up with the best solution based on current knowledge. The problem with these lockdowns and restrictions is that they all SOUND and FEEL good, but this does not equate to them working in the REAL WORLD. I was in grad school in a research lab and when we did experiments, we would perform several replicate tests, possibly with some variations to test a hypothesis. If there was no expected result (or signal) observed, which my adviser said my wheels were spinning without traction, I would try a different course of action or even give up on that project to not waste time or resources. The problem with what we are doing now in real life with these lockdowns is we are performing the same experiment for the past 9+ months and just expecting that it will work if we just keep trying. We are literally spinning our wheels and going nowhere... At some point the experiment just has to be called a failure and not worth the negative consequences to the public.

[@HexerPsy]

Technically, its possible.... Its a room with 2 seats. If you clean it in PPE, with either bleach or alcohol from top to bottom in that order while airing it out for 30min, then you can safely use it without causing a spread. The same technique is used for cleaning ambulances between covid19 patients in my country in Europe. Smells like a pool in there. The only thing you then have to ensure, is the clean passing of plates / dishes and having the waiter go around in PPE. There is a waiter in PPE outside, and he stays outside of the storefront. Dishes are given to him by a waiter that handles dishes from the kitchen to the front door. Customer complaints, checkout, etc all handled by this one person in PPE. Dishes are passed through a hatch, minimizing contact. In order to avoid customer to customer spread, let them only order once: drinks, main, desert, all at once to minimize contact with customers and the waiter in PPE. Want to order more? Shit out of luck. Returning dishes are first bathed in water with high concentration of bleach, before passing to the dish washer - to prevent infection of the kitchen. Instore personel need to face triage at the front door and stay home when not completely healthy. Social distance as much in the kitchen as possible. Due to the heat, facemasks are not required. Pay kitchen staff when sick or when they get tested, to ensure they adhere to the rules. ......... I am assuming, this is not the protocol you are seeing out there?

This is a great video Louis has done here.

There’s a massive economic problem involved beyond local politics. The roots of this problem are at the federal level of government and the federal level of politics. The corporations and Wall Street (speaking colloquially) and thus the ultra-wealthy have been LARGELY been taken care of but the rest of us have been fucked and robbed blind by the system controlled by Congress and the President who in turn are owned by and serve the interests of those already described above-NOT US! “It’s a big club but you aren’t in it!” George Carlin

We now have very little Covid19. We have spent the majority of the last year in close to a business and life as usual status.

Refreshing. My family is split between Cuomo cheerleaders and people who think it’s a hoax or such a little deal we shouldn’t take ANY precautions. As someone in science who is well-versed in mathematical modeling, statistics, assessing relative risk, and epidemiology, I am frequently frustrated at the illogic from both sides. And the illogic is pretty evenly distributed, because even the half who arrive at a conclusion that is somewhere closer to reality for the most part did not reason themselves into that position any more than the “Covid not real” crowd. Also can’t stand Red Team Blue Team tribalism. Even when I was a committed Democrat, I did not view Republicans generally as a caricature who couldn’t be reasoned with, and there seemed to be more tolerance of differing political views, whereas now many formerly tolerant friends decided that even slight deviance from lockstep is sufficient to prove that someone who is a liberal progressive in almost every respect must actually be an evil Trumplican who wants grandma dead and must be summarily cut off. And these are people who when I lived with them were friends with outright religious conservative Republicans and never let that get in the way of friendship. Maybe they are just getting older and that is why they are getting more dogmatic, but it is suspicious that ideological loyalty appears to be increasing at a time when both major parties are locked in a race to the bottom, their behavior indistinguishable from that of entities attempting to self-destruct.
