If most cases are asymptomatic how will temp checks do anything?


Even if most cases are asymptomatic, doesn't mean most disease transmissions are. If sitting down eating a meal without coughing or sneezing isn't going to send respiratory droplets of significant magnitude more than a few ft away, then asymptomatic transmission in a restaurant isn't much of a risk.

(note: That's different than yelling in a loud bar or choir …)

That means the price of your meal will go up.

Servers will expect bigger tips too

Well, if the decision is between reopening with lower capacity or not reopening, then I choose to open with lower capacity.

The temp checks still help shame the fricktards who leave their house sick. Should be mandatory for businesses during flu season

Like the TSA security checks at the airport, this is for looks and to make the populace "feel safe" without actually accomplishing anything.

Dont know. But I dont know of many places that tested that big of a ratio. Maybe it means their healthcare system sucks donkey balls.

I've been saying restaurants will have to do 50% capacity for a long time.

As an operator I would hate to take out half my tables. My building is big. It would kill the atmostphere. Most will chastise me for that. You could be incurring an unnecessary cost to restaurants. That would require a lot of storage. One would argue you are getting more business but it can be a huge hassle

Fewer table in a restaurant will kill at least half of the businesses. They run such tight margins as it is.

So there will be a huge herd of people waiting at the entrance of the restaurant for a table to open? Sounds like a great idea, let's put the temp check right in the exact same place.



How do you people even manage to get both pants legs on in the morning?

Yes. It was a serious question. I don't know. That's why I was asking.

Great. The government is putting its hand further up the restaurant industry's arse.

Fewer restaurant tables mean higer restaurant prices. Might as will shoot the full service restaurants in the head.
