What's this?

I dislike the term 'essential' for the pandemic. Let me use golf as an

example.

The better term should be "what's the harm?" for some things instead of essential.

For golf, it's been discussed a lot. One person per cart, or everyone walks the course, modify the rules a bit, insist on everyone staying apart, etc etc. By no means is golf "essential", but it can be brought down to the 'what's the harm?' level.

WWE? Eh, maybe. It's just the 2 guys in the ring, right? And some cameras that can be a good distance from each other and the guys in the ring? They probably have enough testing kits to cover that situation.

Barber shop? Probably not on the high priority list for testing, and yeah, the guy cutting your hair is breathing on you, and in close proximity. Tattoos? Same thing. Restaurants? A bit in between I guess, but even with 30 or 40% capacity, plus necessary staff, that's still quite a few people in an enclosed area.
