I’ve never really understood why people are confused by the eating thing. The point is obviously harm reduction, not harm elimination. If you’re going to eat out, it’s obviously better to not get exposed to every single person you walked by when you’re not doing an activity that’s impossible with a mask on. This has always been extremely obvious to me, and a natural consequence of trying to keep restaurants open and case loads down.
Now at various points I’ve wondered why restaurants were open, but that’s a different discussion.

If you're going to have indoor dining--and most places have made that decision--people can't wear masks when they're eating and drinking. And the relatively small number of times I've been eating inside it's pretty obvious that wearing a mask between the door and your table almost certainly makes a negligible difference in risk.
