So what if a tattoo parlor is falling behind its business rent, is defaulting on some credit cards and cant keep up with home mortgage payments, and its willing to wear masks and sanitize the place. Limit traffic that can come into the business (I often see these places as hang outs around me) do appointment only or something? Should this person be arrested and their place boarded up by the government?
Cant a bowling alley redesign the business concept? Every 3 lanes, mandatory masks and no food? Have sanatizers around everywhere and disinfectant spray with single use towels?
I mean, isn’t the point of social safety nets to help small businesses that fall on hard times? Stop giving billions to huge businesses (and the Church), stop funding too many wars, and help these businesses stay afloat if you think it’s worth keeping them closed. American politicians and corporate BS keeps the money tax dollars pay for from going where people want and need it to go.
As for bowling alleys, you still haven’t addressed the issue of the balls. Wiping them down doesn’t clean the inside holes, and I promise you no one is going to wash their hands 20 times a game, no matter how much you tell them to.
But as for your general concepts, yes, I agree, the MORE precautions are taken AND ENFORCED by businesses, governments, and people, the less places we need to shut down. As for more nuanced answers than that, neither of us are experts.
But we’d then have to impose HEAVY fines on, say, a tattoo parlor found to violate distancing issues, since actual police and government agencies can’t check every business every day, so fear or harsh penalty would have to be sufficient to keep them following the rules properly, as insufficient punishment won’t prevent people from trying to make a few more dollars.
