Coronavirus' toll on Chinese restaurants is devastating

As of April 15, 59% of independent Chinese restaurants across America had completely stopped taking debit and credit card transactions, indicating they have ceased operations, according to Womply, a data subscription service. Womply tracks credit and debit card transactions to provide market insights to 10 million small businesses.
Restaurants across the United States are suffering under the business shutdowns in place because of the pandemic, but Chinese restaurants are by far the worst-hit segment of the industry, Womply reported.

Many Chinese restaurants won't survive the coronavirus pandemic without targeted government intervention, advocates warn.

Prior to the coronavirus outbreak, 270 restaurants operated in New York's Chinatown, according to Wellington Chen, executive director of Manhattan's Chinatown Partnership Local Development Corporation. Only 40 remain open, Chen told CNN Business on Friday.

A large number of Chinese restaurants in San Francisco's Chinatown neighborhood have similarly ceased operations, according to Malcolm Yeung, executive director of the city's Chinatown Community Development Center. Yeung, who also serves as a board member for the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce, said San Francisco's Chinatown usually has about 150 Chinese restaurants in business, but now only 40 remain in operation.

Although Chinese restaurants around the world have become synonymous with takeout and delivery, many traditional Chinese restaurants offer only dine-in service. Yeung and Chen noted many traditional Chinese restaurants in major cities' Chinatown districts shun delivery services such as GrubHub, because those services charge high fees.
"These [Chinese restaurants] were on thin operating margins before," Yeung explained. "Transitioning over to [tech] delivery is going to make that even thinner."
Chen said he hopes Chinese restaurants will receive targeted relief funding and programs from the local, state and federal government. "If we don't get the breaks, we cannot break even," Chen said.

Congress is expected to approve a deal to replenish the federal government's Paycheck Protection Program, which last month quickly depleted its $349 billion economic-rescue fund for small businesses. Some of those funds would be set aside for under-served businesses, including those run by minorities.
A large portion of the nation's Chinese restaurants are independent and lack the capital reserves held by corporate chains, which may be better positioned to weather the financial storm from the coronavirus, said a spokesperson for P.F. Chang, which has more than 200 US restaurants.

The spokesperson said the Asian cuisine chain's takeout and delivery business has "doubled in size" since mid-March.
"The model that every type of restaurant across our country must currently operate under is, fortunately, one that we know well and are exceptionally good at," a P.F. Chang's spokesperson said via email.

Restaurants are tough businesses. I don't eat Chinese food often, but aren't the ingredients some of the cheapest you can get? Half the food is rice with sauces covering for low grade meat products with fuck loads of sodium. I don't think price wise entrees at another chain are more expensive to purchase, but Chinese food has to be cheap as shit expense wise for the owners. I'd think Chinese restaurants would have some of the highest margins in the biz, but I could be wrong.

Two doctors talking about covid19 low death rate and states should reopen.

The exponential increase in new cases is seen since mid March, that is about 5 weeks ago.

AOC Drops By Unemployment Office To Tell People How Lucky They Are Not To Have Oppressive Jobs
April 22nd, 2020



NEW YORK, NY—In a rare visit to her district, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped by the unemployment office to explain to everyone why losing their jobs was actually a good thing.

Ocasio-Cortez explained how those who had worked for oil companies were involved in an inherently evil industry. Furthermore, she said, by losing their jobs, they were pushing America closer and closer to a socialist utopia where nobody works. Finally, she told them they had thrown off the capitalist shackles of work and income.

"What a great turnout today!" she said cheerily as she turned on her megaphone, though she was shouting into it backward until an aide helped her turn it around. "Work and income are capitalist constructs! You should be thankful! I'm just so excited to see that everyone here, like, is totally ready for a socialist workers' paradise. Like, if nobody works, then the government just has to pay for our stuff, because, like, otherwise, money wouldn't exist."

Nobody seemed to understand her, but she pressed on. "Anyway, just keep fighting the good fight and topple our capitalist overlords!"

"You love to see it!"

She tripped on her shoelaces and fell on the way out, but an aide was ready to free her with a pair of scissors he always keeps handy just for such an occasion.

Density, density, density.... Living on top of each other makes this shit spread. TX has Houston for population comparable to Chicago, but it's not as packed in as the cities in the states listed for Dems. FL has Miami, but I think we're seeing the clear impact of UV rays on a virus lasting on surfaces and in the air there. FL is kind of purple anyway, always a battleground state.

Either way, demographics and density besides the virus itself is what should be the focus and everyone else can open up. Instead people are getting their nuts in a bind over cases to fatality rates with a super small sample size even being tested. But hey, freak out.

Density, density, density.... Living on top of each other makes this shit spread.

Correct. That's why it's criminal for the Democrats to advocate and enforce anti-sprawl laws. Those laws aiming at raising population density murder people every year, during the flu season.

WookieMan says

Density, density, density....

Density explains the greater spread of Wuhan virus in Democrat states, and also explains why dense areas vote Democrat to begin with.

Rural areas at all times and in all countries value self-reliance more than cities do, and necessarily so, since the resources of the cities are far away, by definition.

Cities, on the other hand, value government more than rural areas, since the greater density requires more government to manage: crime, garbage, boundary lines.

Right many rural unincorporated villages and towns don't have garbage service unless you pay for private. People haul it to the nearest dump instead.

And they'll be fined and arrested for even being outside. If they weren't wearing a mask it's another fine.

Leftists scream at the sky...

... and the Blue Angels overhead, saluting the Health Care Workers.

It's is beyond OBSCENE to watch the Blue Angels fly overhead frontline healthcare workers.

How much did that flyover cost?

Could have used that money to get them some MUCH NEEDED PPE INSTEAD. #Priorities

That idiot doesn't understand that it's not about money but rather about manufacturing capacity. Or lack of thereof. Because it was fucking offshored to fucking China.
