The restaurant industry is hurting, the take out option only slows the bleeding. If the closure lasts much longer few restaurants will survive.

All the more reason to continue our community focus and keep doing everything we can toward reducing the public health risk to us all. Then these wonderful business can open and safely operate.

  Take a look at this NY times article… Is the federal government hampering our ability to prevent community transmission, and work toward a safer reopening?https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/15/us/coronavirus-testing-seattle-bill-gates.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/05/15/us/coronavirus-testing-seattle-bill-gates.amp.html

Mj, you may be right on this point. BUT UNLESS there is sufficient testing, contact tracing, and isolating, along with widespread disease surveillance so that there is not community transmission, OR widespread vaccination is available, AND/OR highly effective treatment is widely available, THEN restaurant dining will be very dangerous indeed. Restaurants along with many other businesses do run the risk of running out of money paying full operating expenses with limited revenue. A program for comercial rent forgiveness could save some businesses, so that they might be solvent when vaccinations or treatments are widespread, and dining out can commence safely and with confidence.

I keep hoping for news on Pho Aroma (best pho in Seattle!) and Maharaja… We miss you so much! :(

I’m worried about Lee’s, my go-to lunch joint. They don’t even have take-out.

Mj May 18, 2020 (3:54 pm)

J – I believe that the Swedish approach will prove out to be the best one. Going out to eat would not be dangerous for the vast majority of people.

It’s amazing how the protective measures taken to prevent the spread of the 2019 version of the Coronavirus become “The Governor’s orders closing local business.” Trump support much?

WSB May 18, 2020 (4:53 pm)

Contextually, that’s an accurate reference – the governor’s orders in March DID close businesses. Also an accurate short description, “the stay-home order,” which I use more often.

Mj May 18, 2020 (5:32 pm)

J – I disagree with your statement restaurant dining would be very dangerous, Swedes are allowed to dine out and I believe we should be free to dine out also.

April was Sweden’s deadliest month in over 20 years. I think it is well understood at this point that we should not be following Sweden’s lead on this.

How is that working for Sweden?https://www.france24.com/en/20200517-sweden-s-covid-19-strategy-has-caused-an-amplification-of-the-epidemic

  Thank you Science for the link. Sweden is not what we want to be emulating.
