People are finding that many restaurants are not willing to open up yet under these restrictions. Whiskey Joe’s, which is a chain, was supposed to have their grand opening at the beginning of March. They opened with delivery only. They were flooded with telephone calls yesterday from people who wanted reservations when they heard that the state was allowing restaurants to open. They said they were not comfortable exposing their staff to the virus and until they were they would not be opening.

As with patrons, if a business owner does not feel comfortable being open, then he or she should not open. I have a sneaking suspicion however that a restaurant owner may not want to open because financially it is not worthwhile to do so.
