Koi Boi might be more modern

Why are 10 mile and Jefferson bars open? Pat O'Brien's and the one across the street? Is it because they have outside type areas? just wondering when i see these places open selling booze and food all over the place?

Yes! Outside dining!

Hogwash!

Those few could have been fined/or shut down! HAD to shut all of them down is a crock.

Hogwash
It was more than a few, it's always more than a few. Remember it's the individuals that cause the problem, compounded by the owners not addressing the issue. They don't want to hurt their business......so it gets shut down and they now have no business.
So, who do you blame? It's easy to blame the Governor but who is the root cause of the problem.

Based on my experience in a band dealing with bar owners - the answer is no.

They're too drunk 24/7 to even run their business, they don't "feel" anything.

Years ago I was looking into buying a bar with my step dad. One rule we both agreed on was one of us would always be there at night and that person had to stay completely sober.

Our breakroom is closed.

You can eat in your office if you have one, or leave the building.

How do you eat through your mask? Removing it indoors is forbidden.

Ah... so they're not shut down...

Most motorboating is probably done at home anyway

Good one!!!

No, same with those igloo joints

The basis was said to be gas pumps spreading virus. We know that isn't true.

No - the basis was lots of households mixing on power boats even though it wasn't allowed.

Because of the time of year in question - banning power boats banned about 99.9% of the multi-household boat use.

I ran out to cabelas last weekend for something to do. One of the restaurants nearby had a few of those things. It was a sunny day, and each of the igloos was occupied. It appeared pretty nice and warm in there based on clothing. Actually looked like something different and fun to do.

Gas pumps was also brought up. Multiple households were already banned.

That's how most bar owners operate.

Heck, even without Covid, buffets are sources of viral transmission.

Yep... I eat at 'em because I have a cast iron gut - but there is a reason norovirus outbreaks are frighteningly common on cruise ships.

And a reason why I will never go on a cruise. Disease equivalent of spending a week in a daycare facility (probably not exactly but you get the idea). No thanks...

Got a restaurant down the street with about 12 of those in their patio area.

You'd be one in a million.

Bar owners are, by far, the least competent/professional business owners I have EVER dealt with. About 90% are involved in some sort of illegal activity also, in addition to being alcoholics (and not the functional kind).

Multiple households were already banned.

Multiple households were already banned, and everyone was ignoring those bans, and the DNR couldn't keep up with fining people... so they banned motorboating all together.

...and why only motorboating? Because 99.9% of the boating being done that time of year that involves multiple households is motorboating.

It ain't large sailing yachts full of people. It isn't 3 households in a kayak.

Ouch

On most cruises you can almost completely avoid ever eating at a buffet if you want... and I will admit that some of the cleaning is impressive - they empty, bleach all surfaces, and re-fill the pools nightly.
