...but every now and then indoors. We're careful to only do this in restaurants that appear to acting responsibly, and didn't do so the first time until a few weeks after our initial shutdown ended.

We're in NH, which has maintained a low infection rate all this time. If transmission start to tick up we'll definitely avoid eating indoors again. I'm expecting that's likely to happen soon, too, as the weather turns colder.
