as a chef this is insane if anyone has a place they KNOW how to cater, and to adapt for delivery or pu, so if they closed they deserved to close

Sad but how many burgers and coffee did we really need anyway? I vote we give people more interesting, higher paying jobs fixing 💩 now that we have to transition anyway. Training them is more better jobs. Ex: grow more organic vegs to supply by delivery, clean up the water, ppe

Free market economics

This is so sad. Congress needs to help the industry.

The so called evidence provided so far for a natural origin of COVID-19 comes from a single highly biased study in Nature, the Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2. At least two authors are getting money from China. One is honored by CCP. The virus was made & leaked from a PLA lab.

Trump screwed us all. TrumpVirus

That was the plan to oppress the people!

It wasn’t the pandemic it was the fucking government

Most would still be open if Trump had the education to come up with a uniform national plan for dealing with the Covid-19. But Trump didn't care because it did not affect his business or him personally. Persoanlinterestsonly

Have you kept track of the people dying of COVID also? Priorities people!!!!

Thanks to Dandemic ...most of those are in Victoria sackdanandrews

The government did this and YOU helped! Shame you all to hell, ABC.

😫😫

Thanks to Nancy!!!

I bet all the municipalities who built stadiums and other items on a food and beverage tax are prepared for the fallout from shrinking tax collections otherwise you might start seeing cities defaulting on bonds for overpriced spots arenas.

Wow, the legacy media cares about small businesses only after its too late. This is horrible, but predictable, the media should be held accountable for staying silent while people lost everything to unnecessary lockdowns. In Singapore, small businesses could open up in May.

How about a bit about the employees? Hey hospitality people? How you doing? wants to know.

They shouldn’t give up. I hope they just take this time to learn how to be better when opportunity come back around. Worst part is ALL Americans are facing and feeling the financial pressure of not knowing what to do during this health storm. But we will survive.

When this is over restaurant and bar prices will rise as demand will increase with a smaller supply for people to choose from.

Democrats don't give a damn.

You can thank your President , Wall Street and rally goers were more important !

Well now who’s fault is that

Hmm weird.. let's shut everything down again. I'm sure that'll help

And for what? We’ll look back and confirm these shutdowns really didn’t do anything but move the virus outbreaks back a little.

That's capitalism.

It’s a shame you can go to retail business and brush against things and touch things that infected people have , protest with millions of others elbow to elbow many with no masks screaming and spitting the virus on each other ! But you can’t sit 8 feet away from others quietly

Just come to Nebraska everything is open here just ask our governor Caillou! GovRicketts hedoesn'tcare

I dont remember the pandemic being responsible for arresting ppl for gathering....

rip

Liberal science, can catch Covid in restaurants and bars but no where else.....

It was the lack of RESPONSE to the pandemic but when this is finally under control restaurants & bars will boom

Since governors & mayors wrecked them.

F ing sad 😭

Shame

😎😷👁

Here’s one in our community. Dan’s Tavern in Saline, MI so sad to see local businesses going under and the people they employed.

Democrats are to blame! Republicans say open up. Republicans have opened their states. Democrat politicians have been caught over and over and over passing and pushing for total shutdown of dining while going out themselves somewhere. 👇🏽Hypocrites

Military memo from 2017 warned of pandemic's impact on ...www.militarytimes.com › left-column › 2020/04/01 Apr 1, 2020 — An internal Pentagon document from 2017 warned about the ... The internal Defense Department document, first reported by The Nation ...

If only trump had been warned that a Pandemic was likely? Like a 2017 Pentagon report?

And over 260,00 people have died due to the inadequacy of this administration! Just maybe this would be less severe IF appropriate measures and actions had been taken in January! And IF people would listen and use common sense to help negate the spread!

fake news brainwashed fearmonger people every day about covid as result to destroy small businesses. People should wake up for 9 months, they told u to wear a mask, surge cases. It's all propaganda. I pass by hospitals every time there are not busy, liars Democrats.

Now we see firsthand the events that led up to the great depression. We've survived this once, we will survive it again.

The government did it. NOT COVID

It didn’t have to be that bad. No balanced leadership out there.

Keep America Great!

WRONG. The pandemic did NOT bring restaurant operations to a halt. Power hungry, controlling politicians did.

The government should be supporting these places. We gave Mega millions to big chains. Now support the little guys

Capitalism gives no guarantees. Now, many of the underwater owners will rely on hand outs better known as Socialism.

Thanks realDonaldTrump

Blame all the Governors who are members of the Democratic Party for shutting down the economy!

shouldn't we pay them.. not their fault of covid

Terrible news. The government should aggressively step in to help.

Many of my tenants were restaurant workers who lost their jobs. Its sad that I had to evict them, seeing some of them go actually hurt. Here's to hoping President Biden can bail them out so they have enough money to make rent

Very very sad. What they need to do is keep outdoor dining but everyone who enters has their temperature taken & has to wear a mask unless they are eating/drinking

Right after COVID-19, Mitch McConnell is by far and away to blame for so much of this!

Yet you keep promoting covid-19 and lockdowns that do more harm than covid-19

The result of un-Constitutional tyranny and using a virus with a 99.5% survival rate to control a population. With the able assistance of the leftist media of course.

horrible

Thank a Democrat who never eats there anyway.
