Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

That’s why I posted the Nov 10 article
Stop cherry picking and look at the bigger picture. You know that restaurants and bars are not a significant source. I Googled quickly and there are droves of articles stating that the evidence is lacking. Real-world numbers demonstrate that gathering at home with family is significantly more "dangerous."

I sincerely disagree. The average meal takes no less than 45 minutes at a table service restaurant.

If the establishment is limiting capacity this would certainly mitigate exposure. We know risk goes up the longer someone is in close proximity for more than 15 minutes. That’s true in a restaurant or anywhere else. This is why my wife and I have limited our dining to outdoor, or places that limit capacity.
 
What specifically led you to that conclusion?
KD going to a restaurant is inconsequential compared to the exposure he faces in the office while you wait for him to grab your kids chart off of a folder holder, let alone over the span of 2-14 days. His patients should have the capacity to understand that

You can't "disagree" with data. We know that something like 75-80% of transmission occurs in homes, and I have seen reports of 1-2% for restaurants/bars. When asked by restaurant owners, the local health department has been unable to demonstrate significant spread due to indoor dining.

I'm out. You've made your concern known. I need to relax a little before spending all day a mere tongue depressor, otoscope, and 18" stethoscope away from actual sick people.

From link:
Close behind, at 7.81% of the spread is from healthcare delivery, 2.02% comes from higher education students and 1.5% of the spread comes from education employees, among other metric points.

Among those contributing least to the spread are hair and personal care activities, which account for .14% of the spread, and gyms, which account for .06% of the spread.


the info graphic showed restaurant and bars at 1.43%
