in longer term pubs /restaurants can engineer safe indoor air (ventilation, filtration, CO2 monitors) but in current high community transmission & seasonal conditions it’s not advisable/achievable; short-term we need very well-managed venues for outdoors socialising in masks IMO
outdoors is 1/20th risk of indoors.. & every age group needs spacious, very well ventilated, very well managed social venues out of the rain..so let’s get inventive in outdoor markets & dining, high-ceilinged sport halls & churches, open-sided car parks, retail sheds, (& jumpers) 
some more design ideas
