| Comment | Think this is spot on. What a lot of people also overlook is the fact that the entire purpose of the hospitality industry is to get people out of their houses. If you're out and about chances are it's to go to a pub or restaurant. It's not just the pub/restaurant itself, it's the subway there, the uber home, the busy chip shop... it all adds up to transmission risks being higher. It hurts, and I've personally worked within hospitality most of my life and love the industry, but people saying there's no basis for it are just plain wrong. Everyone should read the evidence [paper](https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-evidence-paper-october-2020/) the gov published. |
