Cov-19 and Restaurants
Introduction
Part of what all of us have experienced during this time of “quarantine life” is that we have come to appreciate what we had before the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic, much of which we took for granted in our daily lives before March 2020. One of these “things” that we just assumed to be relatively stable was the daily availability of restaurants of all types, categories, cuisines and sizes. Whether it was the morning stop for caffeine at Starbucks to having breakfast, lunch, dinner - or maybe even that late night “fourth meal” at Taco Bell, we became accustomed to having a multitude of food choices available to us that our ancestors could only dream of! We could drop in, drive thru, order out for delivery - heck, we could even order and eat in our own cars at the local Sonic - often having our food delivered by a roller-skating server! Sometimes, we could feel almost paralyzed by our choices as the foods available were so abundant and the means of where, how, and when we could enjoy these restaurants were numerous.
