I rode my bike home from the protest where Chicago Police beat & gassed people, through Fulton Market, where restaurants were full of people masklessly dining & socializing, completely unaware that people in their community had just been attacked during a pandemic. Juxtaposition.

I'm confused. Can someone explain to me the progress we've made with Coronavirus/COVID to allow for such openings? There's no vaccine, the numbers of cases are rising every single day, and over 120k people have died.

Who does this benefit? Certainly not the restaurants, who can only operate at 25% capacity. Definitely not the workers, who are risking their uninsured lives. Oh - right, this only benefits people who have barely been following restrictions anyway.
