Food And Booze

 The latest transmission data show that 74 percent of new COVID-19 cases come from private in-home gatherings, and only 1.3 percent from bars and restaurants. Seeing as they cannot (yet) prevent individuals from being inside their own homes, officials instead press on with a series of decisions that have battered the restaurant industry since March, when eateries were first ordered to close. At that time, establishments got creative: They pivoted to takeout, they sold cocktails on the street, anything to keep some money coming in until they could reopen. Such tactics were not enough. As reported by Eater NYC, more than 1,000 restaurants permanently closed between March and November.https://reason.com/2020/12/14/just-1-3-of-nyc-covid-cases-are-coming-from-restaurants-why-has-cuomo-banned-indoor-dining/

In light of this why has Cuomo banned dining and drinking?
