Brilliant commentary from the NM St health “expert”. People don’t want to sit outside in the winter and tents are expensive. Of course the guy on the government dole who hasn’t lost a dime personally, is advocating for shut downs. IBJ, when are you going to start asking these government drones how much of a pay cut they have taken? Start with Pothole and Craine.
If only the restaurant association would band together and refuse to shut down until an adequate stimulus package is announced.
Isn’t the bigger point that a stimulus package should have been completed months ago? The ineptitude of Congress is disgusting, but I don’t want restaurants contributing to the spread of a virus that is killing people.
With Board of Health and Liquor License controlled by the state they are up a poop creek without a paddle.
You can’t have it both ways. You can’t tell people to “come downtown, we’re open!” Come downtown to what? Walk around and peer inside empty storefronts and restaurants?
These current (and more coming) closures will take years to replace. I just don’t know which is worse, the cure or what ails you.
The solution is simple – close the bars/restaurants and fund them until they can safely reopen. We just don’t have the will to do that as a country.
There are no easy answers but for the want of a nail. We send the school children home – sacrificed to keep bars and restaurants open (where the virus is spread).

Gathered in outdoor ‘tents’ with heaters in them in winter. Makes sense. At least the diners aren’t inside. The logic of this …
Even more so when the government mandates that two walls of the tent have to be open. SMH.
Nothing like sitting on 10 degree F pavement with a brisk 40 degree breeze whistling through. Not sure that heated tents meet the State of Indiana Energy code!
