Am baffled by restaurant and bar owners saying it’s going to be very challenging/dangerous to have staff check vaccine status - when they already check ID to ensure of age to drink.

How can closing off booze sales at 8 pm for one day send so many into such a tail spin? It's New Year's in a pandemic, during a case surge & avg 15 ppl dying every day in BC in Dec. Get a bottle or four today. Sit & drink them alone/with your family/roomates like the rest of us.
