How safe are buffet restaurants against virus spreading?

[Under The Radar]

Or any restaurant without checking and making all service employees wear protective gear.

1. Just accept that nothing is safe.

Nothing ever was.

2. Probably about as safe as walking down the street.

3. You're always running a risk of a food borne illness

Gloves are not universally required - our state tried that for a bit but the decision was made to drop it.

The workers may be protected but they wouldn’t necessarily wash hands after touching stuff, since they had gloves on.

We go out about once a week right now. I’ll likely draw us back from that.

4. Don't take medical advice from an internet forum.

Ask a professional.

5. It is safe if everyone wears a mask
