Reply to comment by [deleted] in Philadelphia restaurant operators scramble to comply with new streeterie regulations by nolandeluca

The moment indoor dining resumed, it was still way too dangerous for many people to actually eat inside. Then also, there’s the obvious fact that the restaurant is also artificially heated unless perpetually in direct, daylight sunshine (impossible outside of the arctic circle last time I checked).

None of these outdoor seating areas have enough airflow in the winter to make a discernible difference in virus transmission from indoor dining. They are closed on 3 sides (sometimes 4) and heated. It’s basically like eating indoors from a viral transmission standpoint. And worse in some cases as you’re in smaller quarters.
