This has never happened with any other virus, just the Coronavirus and somehow we have survived as a society. We have just completely kicked all common sense out the window with this one. The "experts" have been so all over the place with their predictions and recommendations that it's laughable.
Yes, I have read about establishments closing down when an employee tests positive. Deep cleaning and sanitizing is done then the establishment can open back up again. The fact that a restaurant closes down to sanitize after an employee tests positive is a safety measure I am very glad is in place.

The strong possibility that a positive employee will not pass on the virus to restaurant patrons because the employee was wearing a mask is very comforting to me as a patron. Restaurant employees who are dealing with the unmasked public are more at risk and that is the difficult part of this issue. Any restaurant employee is there because they need to work, not because they are just looking for something to do. They put themselves at risk to earn a living. Sad but true.
