South Dakota will be facing some difficult decisions
and I think they need to be innovative and flexible with how they react.
they do have one of the biggest pockets of CV19 starting now. They are small enough they should be able to get the federal gov to help do some extreme contact tracing in Sioux Falls.

most Restaurants are goners.
there is no way that they will be able to survive the %'s of people that will just stop going to restaurants, no matter what the city, state, or national guidelines are on social distancing.
if even 20-30% of regular customers reduce or completely discontinue their patronage, there is no way restaurants that mostly operate on thin margins, will be able to pay rent
in late 2021 and 2022 there will be a big void for innovative new restaurants to start up

for sure there will be restaurants. But they will be big chains and long standing successful restaurants that own their property.
many of the best and most popular restaurants are newer and still working to even make a profit, in the that industry it takes awhile to turn a profit. And yes many newer restaurants are shitty and would have closed in a year or so anyways, that's always been the case.
we will just have a bit less interesting options.
its a luxury, its not really a big issue for us. Unless you are in that business. I feel bad for those families
nah, still in the doom n gloom stage (well leftists are in that state normally because it's how they live) and still having states politicize this instead of taking appropriate steps.
this next stage is seeing the East Coast and West Coast blue states (WA-OR-CA-NY-NJ-CT-PA-MA) joining together to make their own rules. If Trump wants to reopen before they do it will be an hourly body count to prove he reopened prematurely on a virus that now looks to be in the 0.2-0.3% death rate almost entirely attributed to the >65 group who are already out of the work force. Truly hard to believe
The fact that Albany and Syracuse and Buffalo stay shut down because of NYC is unfathomable … same with Central and Western PA due to a problem in greater Philly. Massive overstep by these govs who only care about their political base in their largest city
but at least Fredo realized being a CNN talking head is a worthless occupation
With take out or pick up many are doing if they are only down 30% that’s a miracle, many are down 50% which to think about seems amazing also. But even being down 30% you can’t maintain that for much longer ( 2 + months )
I saw two new restaurants under construction yesterday in Tallahassee, made comment I was surprised to see that , local guy said this city is ready to bust loose and get out again.
And i would hate to be in that traffic on a normal morning , sucked enough with the “stay in place “ lol
that's encouraging.
that's why I asked about your region. I think like most things, different regions will see different challenges and to varying degrees.
I'm in Chicago, so things like restaurants are going to be deeply tied to travel and tourism. And that area will also be slow to come back, with a decent percentage of cautious
Foreigners and Americans unwilling to travel to a hot spot like Chicago for a decent amount of time.
the parts of the great town that deal with murders are nowhere near the parts of the city that make it great.
murders have been going down pretty consistently over the long term and the near term. We had a rough blip about 5-6 years ago. But a bigger media portrayal. I doubt we are even top 50 murder per capita. But we got alot more going for us then the places ahead of us and below is in murders.
that would be nice.
I think beyond losing a percentage of customers to fear of Covid, you also will have a significant portion of people that just can't budget for eating out, right?
the expendible and discretionary income available for restaurant patronage is just getting to go in the shitter for a long while.
