It was all over the news at the time... and when production in LA restarted (it was closed for months) all of them were rapid tested with nasal swabs daily. I think County mandate was 48-72hrs for full PCR, but once you buy the $10k machine you just run it constantly to get results every 4 hours. The cost of having to shut down over a single case is too high not to. Tom Cruise's crazy rant was partly show, but a LOT of people would be out of work, if anyone tested positive. Are the servers or the kitchen staff (essential employees) going to do that? Nope, too expensive for a low margin kitchen. They're the ones really at risk. The outdoor part (in the sun particularly) really reduces risk, while fully enclosed tents greatly raise it. The problem is the "people should get to make their own decisions" to bring it back to their entire extended family. Will they take responsibility for the death of their family or room mates? "No way man... it wasn't me I just had a cold and a headache". Sorry, you're just another likely carrier of a potentially deadly disease. It's not better than sleeping with your unsuspecting wife after going bareback to glory holes on Mission in 1982 when AIDS was killing.

Their business will close anyway if the restrictions stay in place. I think they get to make the decision whether they want to work and not forced out of a job due to questionable "scientific" regulations the government has put into place. Just to expand on some of my points someone posted this article recently. In a perfect society where no one abuses power your ideas seem fine but we know that's not how it works. https://themarkup.org/privacy/2021/04/27/google-promised-its-contact-tracing-app-was-completely-private-but-it-wasnt https://themarkup.org/privacy/2021/04/27/google-promised-its... This is why American don't trust the government or big corporations. They're increasingly becoming one in the same.
