The part about toilet seats and masks cause it's exactly the other way around. Maybe read up on smear infection and droplet infection. Yeah plastic shields are retarded but the right mask at the right time can reduce the droplets.
I also don't think the restaurant thing is expecting the Virus to take a break, it's just a concession to make so hosts don't all go immediately bankrupt.
Lastly I really do not believe covid to be a government takeover. Health experts in every developed country are worried. It would be irresponsible for a government to do nothing.
But perhaps I mislead my post. I'm saying with the new outbreak and the mini-outbreak we just had, the current measures are not effective. Wrapping your face in a tshirt or something equally effective (none) just gives the person a false sense of security. Which is maybe why covid is still active.
