You are confusing very real short term pain as permanent. Yes, the hospitality industry is getting rocked right now, but once we get past this virus, there will be demand for hospitality again, and by extension there will be businesses to support that demand. I don't know how long it's going to take, or how bad it's going to get, but the idea that restaurants will never recover is ridiculous. If anything, once we are past this, demand for hospitality, travel, restaurants etc will be booming. People are itching to get out again. So once people have jobs again, they'll start spending and places to spend will come back. this is not a new normal. The world has rebuilt from wars and other catastrophes before, this is no differentA ton of these restaurants doing takeouts are gonna be gone. This is the industry I'm in, casual dining. My kids' mom's job is doing takeout and they have two weeks to survive, as even doing abbreviated takeout orders means you have to slash payroll and staffing and you're not making enough money; her entire management group got an email that they and about 100 other units nationally (which is about 15% of that chain's units) are at risk of being permanently shuttered and they've been doing takeout only for weeks...
These service jobs have had to modify their hours AND operations, all these places you see open doing takeout are running with skeleton crews to try to squeeze a profit. Why do you think unemployment claims have skyrocketed?
I would guess most of these restaurants will survive, particularly the larger brand chains. But many of these chains are gonna close hundreds, if not thousands, of low performing units nationwide, and the mom and pops? A ton of them are going under. The longer this goes on the worse it is for these service industries (if this ended tomorrow a grip of them are finished anyway) that people take for granted, don't be fooled because you see some open restaurants lol...

lmaooooo
Who are you trying to impress?). Damn near 7 million people filed for unemployment last week, hospitals are overrun, people are dying. It's more than fair for people to be stressed and worried, but I do think we will eventually get to the other side of this.

I just hope remote working becomes a permanent perk.
