CCSA to consider limited easing of restaurant dine-in restrictions

[mtls2005]

The restaurant lobby seems to be quite the strong lobbying force here. 

 

I lean more towards the open'er up side of things, if only to get a feel for how good or bad things could get more quickly.

 

I do wonder if the public is going to throng to dine-in options until the pandemic abates a bit more, and more are vaccinated?

 

Next will be the inevitable alcohol consumption during dine-in.

Another half baked scheme.

Most places won't bother because it's been see before that it's uneconomical and they lose money adding injury to insult.

Think........The vaccinated are 100% protected from from deadly harm from covid even if they catch it.....And the un-vaxxed are 100% ok with receiving deadly harm from covid.........So why the need for vax passports to eat in a restaurant if everyone is ok with everyone else already.....  

That is a logical statement and it is called freedom of choice and assessing deadly risk.  Nobody seems to bring up the "deadly risk" of sitting next to someone in a restaurant that has potential deadly flu or other contagious diseases. Or how about the "deadly risk" of driving on Thailand's highways at night when there could be drunk drivers on the road?

Yes, vaccination passport in France for sports halls, shows, domestic flights, buses, trains, health personnel, most administrations, restaurants and bars.

Some major companies have also incorporated the obligation into their internal regulations.
Much the same in Italy.

Lots of rowdy protests in these 2 countries but a large majority is in favor.

This does not look like a large majority to me:

The only people at significant risk will be the unvaccinated. It is their choice to go to the restaurant unvaccinated so if they contract Covid while there, to put it bluntly that is their problem. Their life, their choice. 

 

I am not anti vax and am eagerly awaiting my second shot, hopefully next month. But if people don't wish to be vaccinated that is up to them and they will have to live (or not as the case may be) with the consequences of that decision.

 

Let individuals decide. I certainly don't want to live in a 'papers please' society with medical apartheid because certain people wish to decide what other people have to put into their bodies.

Could not have said it better myself. I grew up in a time when freedom of choice was a god given right.  Sadly it seems a segment of society still needs to be told what to do and be lemmings unable to make any choices for themselves.

Yeah I feel for these restaurants as they have been totally destroyed economically by these forced shutdowns and will also have to make hard choice:

Either fully open up to all customers so that they can recover - or try and enforce these discriminatory vaccine passport policies and continue to lose money and eventually go bankrupt.

What does the latest scientific studies regarding plastic screens conclude? 

I wouldn’t eat anywhere near those plastic screens, I’m sure must be covered in germs from other people eating in front of them, never have and never will

Open bars for the fully vaccinated as well and make sure all bar girls are fully vaccinated as well or no work.
