It's Bob's "right" to go to the restaurant if he so desires and it's YOUR "right" to not go to the restaurant if you feel unsafe doing so.

You're overlooking one very important point. If he infects anyone in the restaurant; they will then be able to infect others, who in turn can infect others and so forth. If that occurs, all of the progress that has been made in containing this virus will be lost. I don't think any of us want that to occur.

Bill, I'm not overlooking anything. Re-read my post.

I live in a rural community about 45 miles from the nearest COSTCO. I hadn't been in the store since before the lock-down started. I went on their website saw that they had protocols in place so I got my mask and hand sanitizer and off I go. I had an item to return before I went shopping, the line was backed up so I had an opportunity to observe people coming in. A number of people showed up without masks and they were told that if they showed up again w/o one they would not be allowed in. They were issued masks. Two couples came in, no masks, both had children in the range of 2 to 5 years of age. They had not put a mask on either of the children. I finished my return and went into the store to shop and the parents still had not placed masks on the children. I am heartbroken for these children and angered at the parent for being so naive as to believe their children were safe. Do they know what "child endangerment" is?

I did re-read your post twice. My point is what happens in the restaurant won't stay in the restaurant. If someone in the restaurant gets infected because they chose to go to the restaurant, that was the risk they were willing to take. But when they leave the restaurant, they can infect the general public, including me, who was not willing to take the risk of going to the restaurant. Their actions can now have a very negative effect on me, my family, and anyone who I come in contact with; and I didn't ask for any of that.

pS

The virus is here and going to be here for the foreseeable future. Should the whole country " shelter in place" for the foreseeable future? We were told " flatten the curve". Seems like that has happened. For the record I am in public transportation and have not stopped working through this crisis. Much slower. Not all of us can or choose to hunker in with our freezer full of ice cream and tell others what to do. Chance I could infect someone.? Yesterday morning I drove an elderly lady with copd to covid-19 testing.She was about 2 feet away from me for 20 minutes. If she is willing to take a risk and ride with me I was willing to take her.
