That's not exactly a realistic outlook on what will ultimately be a temporary situation.
- coliveira 7y agoIt all depends on how long it is temporary. Current predictions are 2-3 months, which I think it is already too much time for most restaurants.
- bowmessage 7y agoAs always, new restaurants will take the place of shuttered ones. It won't be easy, but "eating out" as a practice will not disappear!
- fhars 7y agoGermany's Robert Koch Institute just spoke of "up to two years" today... (Near the bottom of the page if you can read German: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/coronavirus-deutschland-rki-101.html https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/coronavirus-deutschland-rki... )
- Mediterraneo10 7y agoThat “up to two years” applies to how long it would take for 60–70% of people to get the virus if you are aiming for a “herd immunity” scenario. It doesn’t claim that the present lockdown will last two years.
