Mayor looking at closing beaches.

In a vacuum, I would agree with you. But given facts on the ground, that the unvaccinated are the ones clogging up the hospitals endangering others, I think the burden should be theirs. If more people were vaccinated we wouldn't need any mandates, and things could go back to normal.

Perhaps.  Thinkers who I have heard, would say that the overriding fact on the ground is that it is the business owners that bear the burden.   Customers may choose where they shop.   They  (thinkers I know) would say people should vote with their feet and their $$.  If you don't agree with a business' patronage policies, then the most sincere form of protest is spending your hard earned money at stores who cater to your preferences.   If we create a one size fits all mandate then there could be hordes of your hungry, unvaxed family, friends, and neighbors breaking into our homes, stealing our food and spreading covid to our keiki.   They probably wouldn't even remove their slippers.  The purpose is defeated and your groceries are gone.  It's the law of unintended consequences (think mongoose in Hawaii).  That's what people I know would say anyway.  They (thinkers I know) say reason is always reason, especially in a vacuum.
