the dine in restaurant model is dead, and still will be if a vaccine is released. restaurants need to move down to smaller locations focused on take out with patio seating, or buy a food truck.

fines, no fines, masks, no masks, etc. doesnt matter, the business will never come back for most places to be able to sustain if they have a moderate to large dining area and lots of staff.

pop a tent up for friday night fish fry and downsize. RIP salad bars, aka my favorite thing ever. sad!

If your bar for "healthy" is that high then I'd say there's only like 10% "healthy" adults in the U.S., and by no fault of their own (hypertension is largely genetic)


Do you think medical treatment for hypertension before your 35th birthday is especially common? If true, we need draconian PE from age 6 and up and a crackdown on body positivity movements.

Personally I don’t think so. As I drive around I see a ton of pent up demand for people to go out and eat. People love the patios currently in the summer but it’s hard for me to see how most of the US and pretty much all Canada will just sit at home 3/4 seasons. I think people go out to eat because it’s doing something in an fairly boring and monotonous existence. No going to the movies no eating no sports gatherings, no fill in the blank and you will see some nasty side effects in the long run like depression, suicides, etc.

I’m already seeing a fuck ton of restaurants closed and many won’t come back but I don’t see the going out to eat segment being erased permanently.

It will reduce for sure but there will always be people who don't cook or like cooking that will keep the industry alive

A person who has hypertension at 30 is probably obese and eats like shit.

10% is too low but it’s safe to say that more than half of America is unhealthy.

Not really. Mostly decades of overoptimal carbohydrate and especially fructose consumption.

90% reduced that’s a stretch but yeah, it will contract quite a bit. no more packed restaurants where you cant even finish your drink before theyre shoving the check in your face.

in any event its too bad really, the communal table niche was taking off in American restaurants. it’s the style of eating that i really enjoyed in some of my travels in Europe. well travelling is gone and dining out limited for some time so better get cooking

and speaking of that time to pour one out for all the homies that have to quarantine with their partners who only know how to make reservations.

FL and NY have an identical number of per capita coronavirus infections but FL has 5X less per capita deaths. Will Dr. Fauci be praising @GovRonDeSantis’ response to the pandemic? Will he point out that @NYGovCuomo’s response allowed a fivefold greater per capita death rate?

A lot of poor people in New York though. Disease is so socioeconomic. I bet if you go by zip code similar socioeconomic regions will have the same rates of disease and death, and the biggest factor per state is who has the most poor zip codes.

I bet the people who are dying are the same in every state, the elderly and the impoverished.
