Re: Indoor Vs. Outdoor Malls & Restaurants
A lot of the more modern, upscale malls do have restaurants in them that have outdoor patios and covered open dining areas. I haven't seen any food courts with shared outdoor areas though. Since most places have open areas adjacent to the food court, I guess it would be pretty simple to create an ou...

Re: Coronavirus and Empty Restaurants
I don't know how restaurants and bars can survive with these rules. Between scared customers and an inability to "pack the customers in" to get high revenue, this seems like a losing proposition. Since they are currently "surviving" with no one eating in, adding that as an optio...

Re: Coronavirus and Empty Restaurants
Also just wondering, why you don't think this will drag on for years? Not saying I think that's wrong, but just wondering your reasoning for that. I have no idea myself. I think eventually we will get our s--t together with testing. In the post above I mentioned one guy's idea of using these protoc...

Re: Coronavirus and Empty Restaurants
Here in Nevada we are reopening most retail and also restaurants on Saturday, it was announced today. Restaurants will be at 50% capacity. That is worse than Texas with a 25% capacity requirement. Wow. It is funny as previously the governor said he would not even consider reopening until 14 days of...

Re: Wendy's Takes Beef Off The Menu
Well Wendy's still had burgers on the menu today. I ordered chicken anyway. I also noticed they have put a plastic guard on the top half of the drive thru window. Also all of the employees I could see from outside were wearing masks now. The plastic guard was something I saw at DQ a couple weeks ago...

Re: Coronavirus and Empty Restaurants
This guy has some interesting ideas about how testing could be done: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kotlikoff/2020/05/03/dr-fauci-heres-a-way-to-contain-covid-19-and-reopen-the-economy-in-as-little-as-one-month/ I'm not sure if this works if it's 100% voluntary but it's more than we are doing about t...

Re: Coronavirus and Empty Restaurants
. At some point I'll have to wear one, with how this will drag on for likely years unfortunately. I'll just have to get used to it around home and then going out. I can say with a lot of confidence that this will not drag on for years. Wearing the mask isn’t that big of a deal. Just put it on when ...

Re: Coronavirus and Empty Restaurants
I think we can plan to encounter mask requirements in certain scenarios like airplanes, medical offices, colleges, on an ongoing basis. Masks are a key part of most "reopening plans." It may also be possible there is not enough supply of masks to require everyone to be wearing them. I cou...

Re: Macy’s 2020
IMO the Corona-Virus spread too quickly to be contained easily by testing or contact tracing (in many areas.) I agree with the president that tests aren't everything - you can test and get the virus right after. Yes. there should have been more testing, more masks, more everything. But things take t...

Re: JCPenney considering filing for bankruptcy
"the current depressing, dirty, messy, downscale, private label heavy JCP operation at all." Ummmmm, wow! I agree that it's probably time for Sephora to part ways with JCP for a plethora of reasons (one being, it was a leap of over expansion any ways). I'm not a big fan of JCP but I have ...
