If folks get exposed to COVID at a strip club, that’s not on them any more than it would be if someone were exposed at a gym or a meatpacking plant.

There have been active policy choices made on which businesses to reopen. Inasmuch as there’s blame here...
It rests with those who made policy decisions to reopen venues that have been superspreader hotspots in other jurisdictions.
By shaming those who exercise their perfectly reasonable right to patronize businesses that public health and political leaders have seen fit to open, you simply make people unforthcoming about exposures, make them less likely to come forward for testing,
And disrupt contact tracing and outbreak investigation.

Please stop it with the shaming. It helps nobody.

But yes: schools, not bars.
