People sweat, and rub against each other and touch and cough and sneeze. It's even bad without a pandemic on hot humid nights. There are some entertainers who get very low attendance but the top ones pack the place. No comparison to the Farmer's Market.

Disney is limiting to 25% crowds and require masks and temperature taking when they open in mid-July(I have a pass and still wouldn't go there). As for the beaches they still aren't nearly as close as would be in the squares if it is controlled. That's what created a lot of the problem in FL during spring break. At least now it is (barely) being controlled.
We were in Sumter landing last Friday and could not believe how crowded several outdoor bars were with people standing shoulder to shoulder.

First time we have been there since this whole thing started and probably not back for quite some time.

Its a shame as we really miss that place and the restaurants.
