How exactly are we still “locked down” ?

In many states there are still restrictions on bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues. These restrictions are starting to really bite the owners of these establishments. Many of them have been forced to either down size their work force, shrink the amount of hours they are open, or shutter their doors permanently. Here in Virginia I frequent a bar/grill and they have really been hurting due to the limited number of customers they are allowed to serve at a time. Their bar area remains closed and seating capacity has been reduced to below 50%. This is really hurting the owner of the establishment and it's quite possible he will be forced to close permanently if these restrictions aren't loosened before early next year.
