I just saw an article about how when restaurants re-open they may be limited to 50% capacity

While I completely understand the sentiment, the people suggesting this have clearly never seen the financial records of a restaurant. The margin is not there.

This of course presumes that they will re-open at all, after being closed. Which, in my opinion is a pretty big assumption. We need to continue to listen to health experts regarding lifting restrictions but we also need to be realistic about the financial ruin that has occurred.

The #CARES Act, with #PPP and #EIDL programs were a nice start, in theory, though the efficacy has yet to be seen and judging by the disastrous implementation thus far I& #39;m not optimistic.

Requiring Businesses to close and people stay home MUST be accompanied by drastic measures by Local, State & Fed. Gov& #39;ts to assist the economy back on it& #39;s feet. We still have a ways to go until restrictions can ease so planning needs to be done now to resuscitate the country.
