Do they think the virus only comes out after 10 o/clock, so shutting the doors before that will be safe?
My understanding is that the later you have venues open the more drunk and disorderly people will be so they get too close. Plus they are less likely to be outdoors after that time (local noise rules etc).

That one has baffled me too Mups. Particularly given that I object to the "sport". They don't allow hiking groups of more than six and yet this lot are considered safe. Not safe for the animals!

So even if everyone in the country were tested, it still only shows up if the virus is active at the moment of giving the sample. And what about those that are pronounced 'Clear'? Having good test results won't stop that person catching it the following day/week/month will it.
I have a real feeling of doom about this now, and I hadn't felt like that until today. I find this very worrying now.
I've been trying to understand how the asymptomatic infect others. If everyone adheres to strict hygiene protocols after being anywhere at risk then you shouldn't infect others even if you have no symptoms (surely?). Many who work in hospitals leave their clothes in the porch and have another set to change into. They might have a shower when they get home. But for ordinary folk washing your hands is surely enough?
I was looking at the 5 days a while back and it's the average but many people will know within two or three days.
To really get rid of this people have to take the mask and hygiene rules seriously for a longer period. But it goes against every grain of human nature to socially distance. People are gasping for human contact like water in a desert.
The trouble is that everyone has their own (quite often strong) opinion on the dangers and rather than adhere to public health messages they make up their own rules. I've stopped having discussions about it with friends and family because it's as devisive a subject as can be.
