Nice going, idiots.
It is important to have the perspective, that R rates in bars and restaurants aren't as high as in some places. Nursing homes (mentioned), construction (I didn't know), and we can add meatpackers (unmentioned) are, indeed, danger-zones and Essential Occupations. An inquiry can also be held into why Nashville's drinky/diney R was lower. Failure in contact-tracing / reporting? Asymptomatic carriers? or maybe the punters just did what I do, and eat outside or else hit the place when there are fewer customers.
But first we need to have honesty. Nashville's action looks like cowardice lest Conservatives Pounce, like cats. So let the conservatives chase that laser-pointer; their claims have been proven bullshit so often that nobody pays attention anymore excepting conservatives. Except that now you've pointed the laser at your own foot.
By withholding evidence.
I expect a whole lot of moderates who'd been avoiding a night out will, now, hit the town. And more restaurant staff will shuck their masks preparing and serving the cocktails. The rates of spread will rise - and will be reported but nobody will believe you.
