Yes. Pubs being open is antithetical to the concept of social distancing. We may soon realise that this was a mistake.
I fear so.
If pubs are going to open (which, I agree it's
far too early), I think they should do what one place I saw on the news was -- pre-booking, limited capacity and table service only (to help keep social distancing). I also think that they should have time-limited slots (one-hour/an-hour-thirty at most) to allow people to have a friendly drink but prevent people going around getting bladdered (where they may lose sight of social distancing)
EDIT: It might be advisable, for the safety of those inside, for the advice to suggest turning away those who are clearly already drunk at the door. After all, most people would not want to -- while drunk and perhaps not in full control of themselves -- risk spreading COVID-19 by inadvertently getting too close to others.
