This is about outdoor dining and it's been almost a year now. Where's the science showing that outdoor dining is such a problem?

We don't have it yet. What we do have is 3,000 dead Americans a day. That's easy to measure. We know how the virus spreads, so it makes sense to try and prevent it as best as we can with the information we have available.

  We also need mandatory condoms because we know AIDS is a killer. We also need to ban all alcohol because we knows how it kills people both directly and indirectly. We know how guns kill, we need to ban them all. We know how knives kill we need to restrict their ownership. Trying to have a disucssion with folks like you is pointless because rather than striving for balance you only take into consideration one half. You are, as much as you may not enjoy it, just like an anti-abortionist or a religious person. No matter what point is brought up the responese is always the same: Babies are dying. It's happening because God willed it to. People are dying and we cannot let another one die. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXWhbUUE4ko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXWhbUUE4ko

We'll find out Tuesday, when the LA County Health Dept is required to present any such scientific studies/evidence in court to defend the restriction on outdoor dining. (While Newsom has issued a statewide order that would theoretically lockdown all of SoCal and moot the county order, he doesn't actually have the authority to enforce those restrictions; that is handled at the county or city level by local law enforcement, nearly all of which have said they will not...even in Sacramento. Notably, even in CA local law enforcement for the most part has refused to enforce the lockdowns imposed by their own local governments.)

This is really not just about outdoor dining. Here, they are comparing outdoor dining that is open against outdoor dining that is closed. We already know the circumstances of how they operate and the precautions they are taking are likely not equal.

It seems to have less to do with science then an unwillingness to back down.
