So you want to go have a good time at your local bar...

Eighty-five coronavirus cases have been linked to a popular bar that recently reopened in Michigan, health officials say.

News broke last week that at least 14 people had contracted the virus after visiting Harper’s Restaurant & Brew Pub in East Lansing, home to Michigan Sate University, between June 12 and 20. All who tested positive were said to be between the ages of 18 and 23.

“There are likely more people infected with COVID-19 not yet identified.”

Five of the cases are believed to be secondary infections, which means they were likely exposed to someone who went to the bar.

Hang on. Where are the 80 "primary" infections coming from?
Last week, health officials advised anyone who visited the bar between June 12 and 20 to self-quarantine for at least 14 days.
Yeah, that's not likely.
Harper’s Restaurant & Brew Pub reopened at half capacity on June 8, per state guidelines, McClatchy News previously reported. The bar temporarily closed on June 22 after the outbreak was detected.

Videos shared on social media of Harper’s June 8 reopening showed the line to get in stretching down the street with a packed dance floor inside.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
