Is going to the office a broken way of working?

Ah yes, the craziest restriction of all, restricting things from being open at night. That way, everyone goes at the same time increasing crowding. But since less people are allowed in, everyone crowds around waiting to get in.

So now a place that would have 1 person an hour over 10 hours, instead has 2 people an hour over 5 hours, eg. Does the virus not spread at night or something? I'd think it would make more sense to mandate businesses open more hours, that way people are dispersed across more time and thus less crowded.

I don't understand, there must be an obvious reason I'm missing though (most likely!)

My understanding was this prevents people staying around bars and restaurants drinking, and it was (at least informally) accepted knowledge that drunk people don't distance or mask as much

Here at the bars in Honduras, people don't mask or distance at all, at any hour (including the bartenders who are all unmasked). But it probably does help that they have to go home earlier, so that's sympathetic reasoning.
