  1. I guess he thinks we would periodically congregate and cough on each other?
  2. https://context-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/default/documents/8b7e272d-7810-4c89-94dd-17a171790932/note/a144011d-70a1-4768-8849-218ecc98f61c.#page=1 Thought this was interesting: 5/3/20 The worst is behind us: 31% The worst is happening now: 30% The worst is yet to come: 38%
  3. Yeah what the hell was that.
  4. I keep saying and hearing that "well people have to eat" but my informal and highly suspect local survey of takeout business reports a low of 20% of (pre-Corona) sales and a high of 50%. I was stunned by the 50% number and it was an outlier (it is BBQ. Not good bbq either.). So let's say long term your volumes get to 75% through increased takeout and, say, a 50% occupancy going forward. On a place that made 5% before. Really what I'm interested in seeing is what this does to restaurant employment and rents. It seems like those may be permanently adjusted down (fewer employees, smaller locations, cheaper rent). So I don't know how the decrease in RE cash flow will shake out either but... At any rate it will certainly be interesting to see how this shakes out.
  5. I cannot imagine... ...no. I can imagine going 8-4. I just don't want to. I actually don't want him fired but if this happens I don't see how he keeps his job.
  6. One idea I heard was like a high-end food delivery that is more akin to a catered meal. One or two waiters show up with hot food in Cambros, with flatware & etc. and your food is served, then everything is picked up and hauled off in a bus tub. This would not be cheap, so I suggested advertising on the Surl.
  7. Thanks for posting I saw that but don't have a sub. So I read the Los Alamos paper: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.29.069054v1.full.pdf Unlike the rest of you I'm no epidemiologists but I thought overall the paper was good news as my takeaways were: 1) no significant diff in outcomes for this "dominant" strain based on an outcomes study in England 2) much more significant indicator of outcome was viral load, but that was still much smaller than age, and even gender. 3) mutations of the spike protein of Covid are very rare I totally missed the ref to reinfection but I kinda sped read it
  8. I plan on going local for sure when I go back out, but I worry about the long-term business model of this entire industry economy. fifm
  9. So folks that tote guns at Open America protests are giving aid to domestic terrorists? Holy shit. If true.
  10. The culinary signaling about how the Shag 1% would never eat at Chili's is as predictable as it is tiring. I don't like the place either but this is the same elitist bigotry saying that the clingers are protesting they can't have Applebee's when the issue is that folks are out of work. My service-industry related startup is officially now defunct. A few of my clients have gone broke and will not reopen. My sister's employer (another chain the Surl 1% would love to shit all over I'm sure so I won't mention the name) is chapter 13. She has like 25 years with that company. Once we get rid of all the substandard eateries and we are all channeling Julia Childs from our well-appointed kitchens what are these great unwashed (you know, morons) going to do for a living?
  11. What? I repped you for making fun of them, even though your pic was a lie. Since I appear to have misunderstood you, and you are taking these dolts seriously, I'm now making fun of you.
  12. I think it is just precious those dipshits have you wetting your pants over them.

  14. Isn't the punch line "they scored on their third play" ?
  15. As is a true viral mortality rate, apparently. To your point I'd at least say we do know there is an associated (w/ unemployment) mortality rate increase, but I'd agree that would be hard to measure accurately.
