As I have said , I 100% support the decisions that have been to date in terms of closing etc based on the data that was avaialble then. But new data is suggesting a change in approach is needed and warranted. BTW, i am no expert, but I suggest @Chef Jim could weigh in on just how many restaurants can survive at 50% of capacity, same with so many businesses, including universities. Who gunna pay the rent? The company thats owns the building, how they gunna pay their bills? They go out of business, how their employees gunna eat? Death rate gunna go up? Yep, no doubt. To levels that one would think is worth abandoning our way of life and people like me seeing their retirement go up in smoke? No freaking way. If we want to do the above as you suggest, lets not middle it and just shut down the whole shooting match for 3 weeks. Give everyone two days to gather essential food items and medical supplies, then dont allow anyone outside except for health care workers. Not sure where you live, but in Richmond VA yesterday..a state supposedly in a strict lockdown, every freaking store was packed yesterday not just grocery stores, but the mattress store, the granite counter store, the foot insert place, the nurseries were vertible hot spots so crowded. Lets just stop the pretence of being locked down and get on with it Same here in WNY, Walmart was packed. I agree about restaurants not being able to make it on 50% but on the other hand if the all clear was given, how many won’t return because of fear? And schools? Packing people in like sardines? Sporting events? Doubt that. But I agree, we can’t do this forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 5 minutes ago, Chef Jim said: 95% of restaurants fail in the first year in the best of times. I mentioned yesterday we went to Palm Springs and it was surreal to see all these closed business and no cars parked in a normally packed downtown Palm Springs. Many people that have put their life’s savings, blood sweat and tears into their business (Not just restaurants) are going to lose everything. It will be very interesting to see how history treats this whole thing. We were out there last weekend Chef. Palm Springs closed down early in the pandemic. It’s actually more open now than it was a few weeks ago. They’re going to be severely damaged by the cancelled music festivals. They’ll hope they can limp through the slower summer season to make it across until the Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the modern Left, if one makes a general statement it has to come with subtitles and footnotes so that no one dare be offended by the over generalization of the language. Right there Kemp....your comments are EXACTLY the reason why Americans voted for Trump. We’re exhausted from the PC rhetoric!

Other than his comments were much more intelligent and made more sense than yours. Of course, that is low bar to hurdle....
