Point is then let bars open then...and let them fight for themselves.
Or end up in a city with no bars or clubs if you force them to close for a year which would really negatively impact the city.
I think the issue is that the focus is to prevent mass death. However we will not have that in Toronto at all.
So we can also look at the other effects while other areas have more basic concerns.
It's not we go "hey we dont have 30k deaths, it's all good".
I think having the entertainment and cultural life of the be totally destroyed would be a real negative.
I think w are looking at covid like if it's like construction on St Clair Streetcar for small business.
The reality it's like if you are forced to close but everyone else can open on St. Claire.
Govt banning a certain sector while opening 95% of the rest of the economy is a unique situation.
Plus cerb will be ending soon anyways so the issue is what happens after.
