When can we hug again? Or dine out? 

Here's what 500+ epidemiologists said.

As states continue reopening nonessential businesses and easing social distancing measures intended to curb the United States' new coronavirus epidemic, many Americans are weighing the risk of resuming activities like eating at a restaurant or getting a haircut.

To gain some insight, the New York Times' "The Upshot" reached out to about 6,000 epidemiologists with a survey asking for their thoughts on when they are likely to resume 20 common activities. "The Upshot" sent the survey to members of the Society for Epidemiologic Research, as well as to individual epidemiologists.

According to "The Upshot," some of the respondents said they didn't feel comfortable making predictions on when it would be safe for Americans to resume certain activities, because they didn't want to make guesses regarding potential treatments for Covid-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, or assumptions about data regarding new coronavirus infections. A group of 301 epidemiologists in a letter responding to the survey wrote, "Our concern is that your multiple choice options are based only on calendar time. This limits our ability to provide our expert opinions about when we will feel safe enough to stop social distancing ourselves."

Shully’s Cuisine opens socially distant outdoor biergarten

By Madison Goldbeck - Conley Publishing Group

THIENSVILLE — Shully’s Cuisine recently opened its socially responsible outdoor biergarten which features products entirely from Wisconsin small businesses, as well as hosting live music.

Shully’s Biergarten opened May 28 and general manager Jacob Shully said it will be following specific socially distance rules to keep its guests safe. There will be distance between tables and tables will be capped off at six people per table. Restrooms will allow only two people at a time and there is a sanitation team to ensure everything is sanitized and ready for new guests.

The biergarten will feature beer with choices such as Third Space Happy Place Draught, Central Waters Rift IPA and New Glarus Spotted Cow Draught. There are other options such as a wide variety of wine and local cocktails, as well as Cloudless Hard Seltzers.

There are also numerous German food options, such as hot dogs, brats, soft pretzels, a local cheese plate, and of course, cheese curds. There will be daily specials including a Friday fish fry, fried chicken and waffle on Saturdays and a barbeque platter on brisket and pulled pork on Sundays. Shully also said the biergarten will incorporate a brunch menu for Saturdays and Sundays noon to 2 p.m. featuring breakfast sandwiches, Mimosas and Bloody Marys.

Guests will be able to order safely from their tables on their smartphones without having to leave the table or wait in line.

There will be live music at least once a weekend on Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. According to Shully, the biergarten is considering adding other events such as a bingo or movie night. The events will be updated on their website for each week’s event.

“We are excited we are able to provide a safe dining experience for friends and families to come outside and be united in a safe sanitized place,” general manager Jacob Shully said. “It is a safe environment for everyone to come and hang out.”

Shully’s Biergarten is located at 146 Green Bay Road in Thiensville and will be open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, noon to 1 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Guests can walk-in, however, a reservation is recommended.
