People have every right to go out or not go out, but when can we expect to hear the complaints about this or that restaurant permanently closing due to reduced business? You can't have it both ways. This is their livelihood, already on tenuous terms.
And question: just because a business can open at 100% capacity, do they need to if they don't think it's warranted? Seems like they can still limit capacity on their own. Here's a snippet from an article out of Gainesville:

With the advanced age of the population around here, I'm hoping the restaurants will remain at a lower capacity. I certainly will find out before I go to any restaurant in the future if they are operating at 100% occupancy indoors. Having the plexiglass between booths has allowed the restaurants to fill all booths. Sitting in a booth, protected with plexiglass from the adjacent booth has made me feel safer.
