It’s not a bad analogy. The only thing that I would add is that everyone that goes to that restaurant knows that you can smoke indoors.
So if I hate second hand smoke, I’m not going inside. Same with COVID. If I’m not vaccinated, I probably better stay a safe distance from others indoors. Or just choose to eat outside.
Smoking indoors is not banned in the US. It varies from state to state. Just the way it should be with COVID. Great analogy.
