When dining in a restaurant, I hope the wait staff will be wearing masks but I'm sure patrons will not be wearing masks. For me, there is certainly a different degree of safety involved with dining in a restaurant vs shopping in a store.
Sorry, I'm not coming over for ice cream:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

My favorite observations were the servers who would plunk the dirty menus down on your plate (if I didn't catch it in time I would ask for a new plate) and the bartenders who handle money and squeeze your lemon or lime with their hand before putting it in your drink. And I'm not even a germophobe generally!

Something like your idea was brought up a while ago but for another situation..
The Handicap people were not delighted with the idea....

No problem with ice cream. I sanitize the container then it goes directly into the freezer. Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk! Yum!

Now that's my kind of eating out! LOL I have always felt uncomfortable eating off of silverware and I always hate when the waiter or waitress has their thumb in my plate sometimes touching the food. I always said I would prefer disposable silverware and staff to be gloved! But that's just me. But it never stopped me from eating out! haha

Restrant seating distancing - No safety guarantee..

NYT: April 20: Ventilation systems can create complex patterns of airflow and keep viruses aloft, so simply spacing tables six feet apart — the minimum distance that the C.D.C. advises you keep from other people — may not be sufficient to safeguard restaurant patrons.

Will definitely be eating out. Thanks to all the people on this blog that are promising to stay locked up in their homes for the rest of their lives, there should be plenty of seats for those that want to go out to eat and socialize.

Herd immunity (if that's what you meant) is our friend:

More people get sick, more die.....so either works.

Will continue to stick with take out. Waited this long a couple of months will not hurt.

Seems to me this would apply to any indoor venue where people would be sitting in one place for extended periods, such as our recreation centers. I don't worry about stores because people are always moving around and are not always in a constant air flow pattern.

After reading some posts, there are some when TV starts to open up, will be disappointed that numbers don’t go up, and add to the death number. Even though our number in TV were low, I think many were disappointed in those numbers also

Pretty sure those systems have hepa filters. Also, the buildings are not air-tight, so there's always fresh air circulating through them.

Oh my god $50 for a slice of pizza , the sky is falling!!! The sky is falling!!!
I wouldn't even pay $2 for a slice of pizza at almost every restaurant that serves it in the Villages. There are a couple I still need to try but so far - not a single one of them, any better than the frozen crap you get in Walmart.
