Data Does NOT support WA State Restaurant Shutdown | Seattle Real Estate Podcast

In the past 60 days, 15 percent of those who tested positive reported visiting a food-service establishment or restaurant before illness onset. But this doesn't mean that the virus spread from restaurants. It just means people happened to go there prior to getting infected.

Just before Thanksgiving, Public Health — Seattle & King County released a new report on COVID outbreaks and transmission. According to the latest data, community spread over the past two months has been highest within households, at workplaces, and from social gatherings, which includes visits to restaurants and bars.

The department also reported that 15 percent of people testing positive over that timeframe cited visiting a food-service establishment or restaurant prior to the onset of illness (the report doesn’t include people who order takeout). Since the pandemic began, restaurants have accounted for the second highest number of non-healthcare-facility outbreaks in King County, including 40 in the past 60 days.

Industry groups and state lawmakers have pushed Inslee to reconsider the indoor dining restriction, warning that 100,000 hospitality jobs are in jeopardy. Some have cited a recent study from Clark, Pierce, and Walla Walla counties that reported less than one half of one percent of COVID cases were linked to restaurants.

But Inslee and state health officials have pushed back on that study, noting that the data cited is incomplete and does not track with other scientific data that point to the efficacy of limiting indoor dining and studies that show eating inside enclosed spaces is a high-risk activity.
