Worse, we seem to be stuck on the idea that being “outside” is the safe thing, so restaurants are now beginning to build “outside” seating with plywood walls and plexiglass windows. Which is to say that they’re building half-assed temporary buildings with no ventilation. We would’ve been far better off as a society if we’d kept inside dining and improved our HVAC regulations for large gathering areas. It probably would permanently suppress common cold & flu numbers too, since those are also respiratory in nature.
