The devastation that coronavirus has rained on the world feels almost impossible to quantify. Along with the lives lost, entire industries are flailing.

Terrible. Communist China is responsible for this global pandemic as well as the WHO WHO
Perhaps companies should create a virtual travel industry that is almost as good as the real thing if that's possible. I'm picturing trying to communicate with an Italian waiter who barely speaks English. On the other hand, that happens in Los Angeles on a daily basis!
Current administration's lack of vision caused this. If the country were completely lockeddown for 1 month, by now the situation would be under control. Less people would die and economy also would be less impacted.
business has risk
Good! They've been screaming us for decades!!!

JasonSilva they can afford a little break from all the money they've been making of us
But did they manage to maintain 45 min wait times(?) You know, for nostalgic reasons.
QUICK: THE CEOs' stock options depend on 1. Firing as many people as they can get away with and; 2. Getting a fat government subsidy with no strings attached!
Chapter 11 for them all.
