Learned a new word this morning. Streeteries. A new term for enclosed outdoor eating spaces (think it was first coined in NYC). And yes, you don’t really want to be using that word. Or go to one of these places. My friend Julie @woollygee sent me this photo today, taken in northern England. I mean WTAF. How is this any different from eating indoors? In fact, it’s probably worse because it’s a small enclosed space without proper ventilation. Can’t you just SEE all those Covid droplets forming on the inside of the plastic??? Looks like a giant petri dish to me. With a lid.
I’ve been in these in happier times when it was just a way of extending the outdoor dining season for local places that could pack all the seats they were able to provide. Kinda like having your dinner inside a big condom. 12/10 would avoid. Comprehension is such a hurdle for so many people. “Enclosed” means enclosed by anything.

Restaurants, here, cannot be entirely enclosed… Just imagine an Ottawa winter in an outdoor patio not fully enclosed, even with propane heaters.
