My only question is if you’re required to wear a mask in the first place but it’s a bar and in order for the bar to make money and the whole point of a bar is drinking wouldn’t that in it of itself defeat the whole purpose of the masks in the first place since people have to pull them down to drink? Isn’t it just a false sense of safety?
okay, i’ll try to keep it brief (there’s a boston globe article that goes into detail, every paragraph is absolute insanity) but there’s a covid conscious lesbian bar in greenfield ma that required anyone in there to wear kn95 masks, since the bar was making no money, leaving the sole owner (they were in a polycule with the other owners who eventually backed out to join clown school) decided to lift the mandate on saturdays, and in an outrage they are now being called an ableist eugenist
i don’t want to deny the concerns of the immunocompromised, but the pandemic did kind of make a lot of people a bit hypochondria. also they weren’t drinking which is why the bar was making no money in the first place. there was a cover but they made that optional as well (because enforcing it would be classist ofc) like sadly, a bar is a business, not a community center that is given govt. funding/donation, the only way it can survive is by actually making a profit.
