Restaurants Defy Indoor Dining Shutdowns to Survive Winter Season | Eater

"Owners of a Lockport, Illinois restaurant wrote on Facebook that their decision to remain open during indoor-dining shutdowns is driven by survival rather than rebellion or opposition to masks or public health. They say they are willing to risk fines, citations, and enforced closures to avoid further business losses. Reported by Eater Chicago amid wider coverage of restaurants defying restrictions, their stance underscores the fraught tradeoff between economic survival and the documented health risks of indoor dining to customers and, especially, employees." - Jenny G.
