bars and restaurants will be allowed to remain open but will required to serve customers at tables

I thought we had to go to the bar to order because have the wait staff come to the table would cause the spread.

50% or up to 25 people whichever is less is the new rule. Dr. Jen just confirmed it.


So 25 people would be the rule for most places that have more than a handful of tables. Anyone know why 25 is the magic number, or is did that just come out of the hat?

Jesus christ

NO

The new 25 person rule only pertains to what is considered INDOOR GATHERINGS: Things such as weddings, funerals, and the like


It does not pertain to restauruants, church services and the rest of this list





Allowed to Open at 50% Capacity
Shopping malls and retail stores
Restaurants
Bars and breweries with an LDH food permit
Beauty salons, barber shops, and nail salons
Tattoo, massage, and esthetician services
Childcare, early learning centers, and extra curricular programs
Gyms and fitness centers
Office buildings and businesses
Conference venues and meeting rooms
Libraries
Community centers
Museums, zoos, aquariums
Outdoor recreation spaces, sports complexes, parks and playgrounds
Outdoor live entertainment


All right here

The key with Covid is to forget anything the experts or government tell you by the following week, because it is going to change. Trying to square all of the contradictory information and guidance from all of this will drive you crazy.

Ok, dick. I originally read it the same way you do. See my first post in the thread to that effect.

The post you quoted was responding to a poster saying that Dr. Jen confirmed that the new rule would be 50% or 25, whichever is less. Did she not say that, or is the information not true?

All of that being said, the 50% or 25 people rule makes a little more sense than pretending that "indoor gatherings" and indoor dining should be treated differently.

The information is true for what is considered an indoor gathering. This isnt difficult

In fairness, the article did not do any help clarifying this. It was very vague.

Fixed the OP to include the NOLA Ready guidelines that you posted.

At an "indoor gathering" people are huddled together

A restaurant, they are spaced apart

Hence, why they are being treated differently

You are correct. I am just following the thread. I do not live in New Orleans and do not care enough to read the full guidelines.

That doesn't change the fact that treating people dining inside a restaurant differently than an "indoor gathering" held in the same building is rather stupid.

What? Finns is doing it right. Even before today there was no sitting at the bar and they have masks if you show up without one.

Is a wedding rehearsal or reception dinner in a rented out room considered dining or an "indoor gathering"?

That’s exactly what she said. She was complimenting the place.

Not really

At a wedding, all people will be huddled together

At a restauraunt setting, they are spaced apart

I want everything to be open but this distinction is clear to see

She pay her taxes, fix the pumps, tear down the blight, and address the education issues in our city yet? She pay the school boards yet?
