      Massachusetts now reopening indoor dining with no capacity limits, just the magically protective 6-foot distance between tables.https://twitter.com/universalhub/status/1365005959857401860 …

      Dr Ed added,

      Adam Gaffin @universalhub
      Polito: On March 1, all indoor venues, including concert halls, laser-tag places, etc., will be able to re-open at 50% capacity, up to max of 500 people. No more percentage cap on restaurants, but 6ft limit between tables remain.

      I was doing the back-of-the-envelope calculation last night—Denmark for B.1.1.7. doubling time, our vaccination rate, mobility data from when surges end, etc. and had been wishing somebody would model it properly—because it looks like we'd outrun it. Forgot the magic 6-foot rule!

          Amazing that this is still being used as an actual public health guideline in the state the CDC Director comes from. Just pure hygiene theater.

          Indoor dining should be closed, but 6 ft is a useful proxy for density of people indoors, and is much easier to measure and enforce than ventilation-based measures (which of course would be better). It’s def not the same thing as hygiene theater temp checks and surface cleaning.

          Wait!?! You think we might avoid a major B117 impact because our vaccines rate has picked up? Is that what you're saying? Sorry for confusion, just so excited at that possibility!

          Looking at what is coming from Israel, UK and now Montreal about B117 in daycare and schools has made me very uncomfortable. Will it hit US too?
