Yeah except you have them putting those tall propane heaters under a structure with a plastic roof, I've legit watched the ones in front of Cavs catch fire

Any time something flammable gets banned from a certain spot, it's because that kills people in some form or another.

A lot of these things have wood or plastic roofing, and their ceilings are low.

No, it’s because it sounds like fire. Propane tanks can be perfectly safe as long as the structure is compliant.

Propane heaters are the only way to heat an outdoor food area in the winter and there are ways to make the structures safe for propane tanks.

The moment indoor dining resumed, it was still way too dangerous for many people to actually eat inside. Then also, there’s the obvious fact that the restaurant is also artificially heated unless perpetually in direct, daylight sunshine (impossible outside of the arctic circle last time I checked).

None of these outdoor seating areas have enough airflow in the winter to make a discernible difference in virus transmission from indoor dining. They are closed on 3 sides (sometimes 4) and heated. It’s basically like eating indoors from a viral transmission standpoint. And worse in some cases as you’re in smaller quarters.
