What will happen to the restaurant businesses in lock down states and city's ?

My question is why aren't they able to survive the virus by remaining open for takeout orders? I know several restaurants in my town that are surviving the germ storm in that way. And I am doing my part by continuing to order from them. My town has maintained a policy of allowing restaurants 25% occupancy and that has helped them out as well.

I may be like you in the respect, that I have never been for total shutdowns of Restaurants- Bars that is different. My favorite Kool-aid stand did open back up with a 25% seating rule- BUT THEN THESE IDIOTS that patronized the bar wouldn't safe distance, and were seen out in the beer garden sharing doobies etc. just like the old days, and the mayor shut them all back down again as that seemed to be the story in every bar in town. I was glad I stayed away as several of my friends caught the bug, and we know of a couple of them that croaked over it.

But, here in Dallas the Hospital beds are full of Covid patients, the IC units are pegged out, and the body bags are piling up in the death trailers.

Texas is a weird place as people here are partying here like it's 1999! It seems I am the only one staying home here as so many people are out running the town like a roach infestation out of control.

I don't know what is best dude! All I know is if more people distanced themselves, and wear their masks when they are around others, and skipped the TURKEY DINNERS with the In-laws and all the brats this year, PERHAPS WE WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT ISOLATING THIS NASTY BUG.

But to just ignore the crisis and pretend it is just going to all go away is irresponsible, foolish, and deadly. Because clearly this is why it is still out of control and the local and state governments have to keep shutting down the system!

Why are bars "different"?

Do you realize that most volunteer fire companies rely on punch boards, food and alcohol sales to pay their bills?
What would you do in the sad event your home catches fire and the local fire dept. can't afford to pay for the fuel to run their trucks (not to mention the insurance and maintenance)?

Outside dining doesn't work this time of the year except in a small percentage of places anyway. So, it's kind of moot to argue if it's COVID safe.

Indoor or outdoor makes no difference to Covid19. Neither to any masks or 6 feet of distancing. Neither do plastic barriers found in stores around cash registers.

Covid19 is a particularly mild airborne virus of the Covid/SARS series. Generally symptoms will last for a day or two, then clear up. Some lingering effects will last for about a week.

You haven’t been to LA then. It’s glorious in December. And LA County told restaurants they could serve customers outside if they met certain guidelines. Many restaurants paid money to set up outdoor facilities only to have LA County say, “never mind we were just kidding, you can’t open.”

It wasn’t a science or data driven decision by the politicians. That’s why people are pissed and paying less respect to other government mandates which are science/data driven. Even in liberal California people will only accept so much when they recognized they are being hoodwinked

I haven't seen any government use science for many decades now.
Government mandates are not science nor science driven. They are fascism.

Not in the SOTC. Florida has full dining. They are completely open. Las Vegas is essentially closed for business. MGM and the Rio Group have recently emerged from bankruptcy, they can't file Chapter 11 again. They can only file Chapter 7...liquidation. They still have costs for the buildings, even though they are closed. They are both fucked. Texas is allowing all businesses, but with masks and limits on occupancy.

The willful destruction of the cities, supported by city leaders......there is either a Revolution afoot or else insanity.....or both....when that happens.

CHAZ in both Seattle and Portland are examples of the insanity.

These losers tried to take over suburbs and towns outside of the city of Seattle, and they got ran out of town on a rail (remember Snohomish?). They are a small, loud, and destructive bunch of thugs...funded and supported by the Democrats.

They are outnumbered and outgunned. If the Democrats want to start a war, they WILL lose.

Geeko doesn't realize anything. They don't come much more clueless.

Ted Wheeler in Portland was not challenged by a more sane more competent member of the community, but rather by a less sane and likely less competent person.

You really should take this more seriously.....you know that the Revolution is out to burn America down so that UTOPIA can rise from the ashes....what better way is there to burn America down than to destroy the builders, to break faith with those who have a different idea than that the government should do everything, decide everything, that the masses should be the sheep in chains?

The betrayal is likely running deeper than what you say.

In which case we are really fucked.

Oh, I take it very seriously.

But any revolutionary inclination - whether coming from the right or left or both - to oppose the liberal 1984 lockdown mandate will be redirected into mass global conflict.

That's why Harris, and the attempt to seat Clinton before her.

When revolutionary fervor is redirected/repurposed as a patriotic duty to fight some random enemy, but under the leadership of a female psychopath, no opposition can be mounted except by bigoted sexist neanderthals.

That's how the children of conservatives, liberals and the left alike will be fed into the meat grinder without meaningful opposition.

By faith in God. He who seeks to save his life shall lose it but he who loses his life for my Name’s sake shall find it to life eternal.

Quit worrying folks.
