No one is doing math to decide on their covid policies. Personal or public.
IDK about anywhere else, but near me all the grocery stores that have multiple entrances closed all but one of them, thus ensuring everyone is much closer to one another than strictly necessary as those entering pass those leaving. This is to make it easy to count people and ensure they’re keeping below occupancy limits, because it’s cheaper than having employees at two different doors with, say, walkie talkies.
One of the organizations that runs many parks throughout my state decided to block off or flip over all of the outdoor picnic tables on every property they manage, despite this having very little to no effect on anything, and probably pushing many people towards eating indoors with members of other households instead of outdoors.
Right now, a literal reading of the rules in my state would seem to indicate that I’m required to wear a mask outdoors at all times, regardless of how far I am from anyone else, even if I’m alone on a trail in the middle of the woods, but indoor dining is ok.

Well, obviously it isn’t literally true that no one is doing math to decide their personal covid policies. It’s just very rare.
I’d be amazed and delighted by any place where public policy was being made that way, though.
