@cariboumarkt @GovInslee 1/? did you even wonder why restaurants and agriculture were number 1&2 in cases? clearly not. because you only listen to the ‘news’ as opposed to following it with some critical thinking. both industries employ high numbers of immigrants living in small, crowded households.
@cariboumarkt @GovInslee 2/? on top of that, restaurants employ a young sample, they are tight knit and they’ve been socially gathering in each other’s homes this whole year. the spread is there and not a result of indoor dining.
@cariboumarkt @GovInslee 3/? the ‘studies’ of indoor dining spread amounted to surveys asking covid positives if they’d dined indoors at restaurants in the last 14 days. the other ‘studies’ used credit card data to show correlation of indoor dining and covid cases.
@cariboumarkt @GovInslee 4/? both ‘studies’ are just correlation-is-causality bunk. i know too many operators with zero cases tied to indoor dining and all (if any) cases tied to staff social lives and living situations.
@cariboumarkt @GovInslee 5/? despite knowing that indoor dining is a scapegoat for the illusion of control, even if that wasn’t the case and it did drive cases up, killing the livelihoods of 33%+ of restaurant owners cannot be justified by low covid risk.
@cariboumarkt @GovInslee 6/? there is more to public health than avoiding covid transmission/contraction and our governor clearly has forgotten that or only cares about his covid scoreboard for political gain.
@cariboumarkt @GovInslee 7/? the sad part is that because covid cases and lockdowns have followed normal cold/flu seasonal patterns, the naive inslee disciples have allowed him the illusion of control. wa state’s low covid numbers lie in the hands of the cautious populace, not business closures.
