One of the "restaurants" is a "sports" bar connected to a strip club that's owned by the local mogul of such establishments. I can image it is costing his other businesses.
Earlier in the pandemic, the owner of a sushi place we used to go to sometimes was on the local news complaining about restrictions on dining in person at restaurants, and complaining about why the hospitals weren't doing a better job of increasing ICU capacity and staffing up. I understand why he wants to keep his business open, but at bottom it is an attitude of pure selfishness and indifference to whether other people get sick, and I'm really tired of people trying to dress that shit up as if there were some higher principle involved.

As John Kenneth Galbraith said, the modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
