I'm not taking a position. I just wondering how by going to a bar where tables are "socially distanced" would be a high spreader of COVID.
Now reading this study that is based on a correlation between cell phone usage and COVID cases is one of the major contributors.
Here is the basis.
Mining mobile phone data, scientists tracked 98 million people’s hourly movements from March 1 to May 2 to places they visited regularly, and then mapped their movements to nearly 533,000 locations onto models of infectious disease spread.
The simulated transmission rates accurately predicted actual daily case counts in neighborhoods of 10 large metropolitan areas, including Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco. That allowed them to identify which “superspreader” venues pose the greatest risk, which socioeconomic factors matter, and what works to diminish the danger.
So from the conclusion that cell phone traffic correlated to areas of COVID cases counts seems to be the primary basis for shutting down bars and restaurants.
I'm not making any conclusions. I am just making an observation based on my personal experience.
If I go to a bar with a friend we would sit at the bar or possibly have a table. Maybe we'd get up and dance together...but again it would be my partner and I... not a group of people.
Or if I went to a restaurant with a friend. Again based on social distanced tables it would be just my partner and myself.
But from my own personal, subjective experience, my partner and I don't interact with even friends much less unknown bar/restaurant patrons.
I'm just making a comment. No judgement here. No facts for my opinion.

Restaurants and gyms were spring ‘superspreader’ sites. Occupancy limits could control Covid, new study predicts
Sharply limiting the occupancy of restaurants, gyms, cafes, hotels, and houses of worship could control the raging pandemic without resorting to lockdowns, a new study suggests.
