Not Shocked about Buckeys. I've driven by and it looked packed.

Yeah, I love Buckey's, especially the steak tips and the popcorn machine. But it was clear from drive-bys that they weren't taking this seriously.

You have x ray vision that you can see from the outside what’s going on inside. How do you know the ONE positive case from an employee didn’t get from home or someplace else.

With the infection rate we're seeing now everywhere you have to be nuts to et indoors. Just not worth the risk.

IMO it is not much different than going to the grocery store or big box store.

Unless you are hunkered down in your house with no personal contact with anyone I completely disagree. Super market, doctors office any place people congregate are at best the same and in many cases worse that eating out. It’s really simple as I keep saying just leave it up to individuals to decide.

Well, as we can see, many individuals are not following suggested guidelines. So this is how we got to this point. I do agree that people need to go about their business but many disregard the the guidelines because they think it's an infringement on their freedoms or they think it's all "fake news".

You wear a MASK at a grocery store or the doctor's office but you can't eat or drink through one!

Really? If you want to you can. I’ve seen many just pull there mask down to place the food in their mouth. And many times I walk they places with people improperly wear masks. Again stay home and don’t help the local restaurants if you do not want to that’s your choice certainly not mine. I will stay vigilant but patron the local establishments.

It’s great that you’re vigilant while visiting local establishments. But why tell just cautious people to stay at home? Why not also make that suggestion to people who go out but aren’t vigilant? They’re the ones who are propagating it.

Default The answer is take out

Many of us want to support the local businesses, so instead of beating up on each other, just do takeout at your favorite restaurants. VK, Common Man Ashland, Lyons Den are just a few, but certainly there are many more that do a great job. Because of the rising COVID numbers, we have stopped eating out, but takeout with hot food, not salads, seems to be a safe bet. Don’t forget the tip! 🙄

It’s not a matter of cautious people. Everyone has to do what’s comfortable for them that’s what I’m saying. If you’re not comfortable going to a restaurant don’t go if you’re not comfortable going to the grocery store don’t go if you’re not comfortable going to target don’t go but if you are comfortable going to these places and being vigilant by all means go support the economy support the local businesses. Again it’s your choice it should not be everyone’s choice everybody should be able to make their own choice

I don’t belief in telling people what to do. If they break the law or a guideline it’s on them. If they want to take a risk and not wear a mask that again is on them. If I wear mine I should be good.

Should I also run around taking cigarettes out of people’s mouth’s or taking candy bars out of peoples mouths that I think might have diabetes

But you’ve consistently told people who aren’t comfortable to stay at home, so really you are okay with telling people what to do.

No that’s not what I said. If said over and over it’s your choice. But I’m not understanding your statement. I don’t think people will go out if they aren’t comfortable. But if they want to against it’s their decision to make no one else’s.

Check your post #33 in the ice hockey thread. You definitely said it there and variations of that in 3 other posts between this thread and that one. You’re very dismissive of people who are on the side of more, not less, caution. And intransigent with regards to even seeing the other side. The facts are in for less caution...it leads to more cases.

No I am not. I am so over this. My point has always been do what’s good for you and I’ll do what’s good for me while following the rules. I will not put my life on hold it’s too short as it is and I will continue to support the local establishments.

It’s YOUR CHOICE to go out or stay quarantined. Don’t dismiss me because we have differing opinions on this, I understand your opinion I just disagree with it which is my purgative.

You told some people to stay home, then said you wouldn’t tell people what to do. I’m not dismissing you, I’m pointing out the inconsistencies in some of your statements. That’s my prerogative.

I don’t understand what everyone is bickering about....local state government which is following federal and CDC guidelines has said that it’s OK for restaurants to be open with certain protocols in place such as distancing tables and the use of plexiglass barriers as well as wearing mask to and from your table. No one is doing anything wrong by visiting / supporting local area restaurants.

To those who say it’s not safe or wrong...fine, stay home. Everyone else wants to lead as normal a life as possible by following the recommended guidelines set forth by our elected officials.

Case closed!

The case would be closed IF everyone would follow the recommended guidelines. That has not been the case as some pick and choose which guidelines are acceptable to them.

It's a sad fact that a whole lot of people are going to become infected between now and August of 2021. The direct result will be a lot of pain, suffering, and death because of it.

The Vaccine can't get here fast enough.....

Everyone needs to take their own prudent precautions until such time as it becomes safe again.

There are plenty of believers still out there that think this Corona Virus is some type of hoax (also there are many folks who don't believe the Holocaust was ever real). You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink....

Not true...at least not as far as restaurants are concerned. They either enforce and follow guidelines or they get shutdown. It’s that simple!

It seems like some on this forum want to shame people for visiting local restaurants and supporting them. I say get a life!

Buckey's had been following protocols that were mandated by the State regarding table separation and mask requirements. I witnessed it personally inside.

Thank you. Right away people look to through the establishment under the bus and that is not fair.

These places are people’s livelihoods and to thought out aspersions is wreck less.

Who knows were the one employee contracted the virus.

I was referring to their parking lot tent over the summer. There were too many people there for my comfort. I look forward to dining there next summer, post-vaccine. It's a great place
