The article on the Stanford study also cited the CDC "which said in September that a study of adults across 11 U.S. cities who tested positive for the novel coronavirus were twice as likely to have dined out within the last two weeks than those who tested negative."

You're smart enough to form your own conclusion based on whatever you choose to believe or ignore. Some people may find additional information from reputable sources helpful.
Again all those numbers from Stanford are riddled with assumptions. I have formed my opinion and will continue to patron the local establishments to assist them in getting through this. If you want to stay home that’s your choice.
