Is this crazy? Question for Canadians

I live in Ontario, Canada and the province has declared that not even 1 child can be using a playground, incase a surface has covid on it.

Now the liquor stores have been deemed as "essential", even though hundreds of people touch the bottles and shelves, yet they are not being wiped down and have a much higher chance of surface covid.

But if this is truly a crisis and all jokes aside, how are the liquor stores not closed down?

I understand large groups are not ok at playgrounds, but a single kid playing is somehow a much higher risk than a liquor store that sees hundreds per day?

I'm not anti-alcohol I like a drink sometimes, but I feel we are going way overboard in protecting some areas and then little in others.

Thoughts?

because having a bunch of alcoholics detox at the same time which requires hospitalization is a secondary health crisis on an already maxed out hospital system that cant handle the current pandemic.

I guess the lesser of 2 evils.
