Welcome to discussion. CMP is fucking everyone. They are the Ticketmaster of (Maine) electric. Everyone knows what’s going on but there’s little that can be done without major bureaucratic intervention

If customers want to sit at the bar, and theres availability, let them sit down. The environment at the bar is always different than sitting at a table, as is the service. If the place is super busy, I know i've done the 2 people sit, 2 people stand move and hang out.
Ive done 4 at a bar before, but you gotta either be on the corner, which is perfect for four, or it's your only option. 3 max.

this is a good place to start your search.

There’s a ton of brunch options around here. A few I like:

Hot suppa: food is dynamite, but you can’t make reservations and seating is limited, so there’s nearly always a wait.

Friendly toast just recently opened and I thought it was very good. It’s not fancy or anything, but it is fun and festive (I guess).

Dutches is also very good, but it’s super casual and no wait service.

Just curious where you're pulling your info from? My SO is an a Pediatric ICU doctor, who has been and is currently in the thick of everything. Literally THE person taking care of all the RSV/covid cases. So I'm just interested to know where you heard that the Immune system gap is "ludicrous" and specifically how covid causes long term damage to the immune system?

It’s really personal preference at this point. Masking will definitely help stay more protected, but eventually you or your kid(s) will get RSV. Again, the reason this is a “surge” and all over the news isn’t bc RSV is a big deal (normally) it’s bc of confluence of events and all the hospitals blowing up with admissions all at once. O don’t think the majority of people will return to masking nor do I think masking requirements should return. But if individuals want to continue to do so, that’s perfectly acceptable.

RSV is an incredibly common virus. Most people have had it in their lifetime. The only reason it’s blown up the way it has is bc of the staggered effect of kids not being exposed to this common virus for like 2 years.

Masking was absolutely necessary during peak covid. However one of the backend issues from all that protection is kids are only now getting exposed, which means a confluence of a LOT of sickness, hitting kids’ immune systems which are weaker (to this virus), and a shitstorm of hospitalizations.

Adults should be fine if you get it. It’s a bad cold
