Syracuse, N.Y. — Restaurants and bars across New York have been shut down, threatened with fines, and generally put under various heavy and ever-changing restrictions since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March.

Most complied, while some are giving up and closing either temporarily or permanently, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other officials repeatedly warn that dining out is a significant contributor to the spread of the virus.

Then on Friday, Cuomo produced a chart showing the risks of coronavirus exposure due to various activities, covering the period of September, October and November, when cases numbers began to escalate.

Topping the list (see below) was “household/social gatherings,” linked to 73.8% of the exposures. Health-care delivery was a distant second at 7.8%. It was followed by college students and education workers.

Further down, at No. 5, “restaurants & bars” were linked to 1.4% of exposures.

The chart in the article:

I would love to see a similar chart for California. I suspect it's similar.

Personally I gave up thinking a long time ago

Now I think my mantra will be “who is John Galt”

Correct your mantra.
It is: "WHO is John Galt?"

BTW, the three-film production of "Atlas Shrugged" can be found on the net in 1080p, if you "know where to look"...  ;)

You are right, I’m getting dumber as quarantine is going on and I should have caught that error as soon as I typed it. Damn it!

But, not only who he is, we know now, I want him to come for us! Well, he’s inside all of us. We need to make our own Galt’s Gulch.
