I don't think we should close down the bars again. They bring in business and revenue.

The virus is here to stay. We can't shut down forever.

Rob Mozz

All this covid-19 crap is BS including the stupid masks. The bad for the economy and they're bad for people's Mental Health. Lockdowns kill they don't help.

It depends on if a particular bar is maintaining social distancing between tables and requiring staff to wear masks, consistently. If they are, and people are staying safe, I don't see why they close.

Nancy

NO!! These businesses have gone through enough- they should not close down.

Rachell Ortiz

You can't keep kids social distanced in school- if we open the schools, then you'll have people crying that they need extra help keeping the kids safe. Parents have to be parents, since the 1960's WOW

Kerri Deyoe

I have seen more “violations” at family oriented restaurants than at the couple of bars we visit.

Pearl

A good majority of bars not only have staff consistently wearing masks, but they also also have plexiglass barriers up & socially distanced tables. GC.

I think we should because Id on't understand why are bars open while schools remain closed.

because when people drink they no longer care what they do....USUALLY

David Davis-Van Atta

It just the science of it. The facts. The environments within bars tend not to have most, and often none, of the protections that one wants to have, and needs to have to avoid infection.

Drunks...hug, kiss and spit on each other...no thanks!

Our schools should be the number one priority.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
