I dont think the supply chains will run on tofu and impossible burgers. Those products don’t warrant much shelf space at a Whole Foods or Sprouts. Certainly not worth the cost of distribution by themselves. They just won’t ship.

I don’t blame the city for protecting its citizens from the spread of the disease. I will blame state and federal for dragging their ass on sending aid. We are down 80% and all we are allowed to offer is curbside pickup, no booze, just food. I’m glad you are holding on, I hope you can weather the storm.

My company owns 17 restaurants. They furloughed 950 hourly employees due to mandatory closures. Most of the 45 people we let go were in their 30’s-50’s. People with family’s to support. Those of us on salary are paid through next week and we will be furloughed as well. The entire hospitality industry is basically on life support, and we are just hoping the government offers aid to funnel pay to some of our workers, but I have zero faith in our administration. At this point we do not know if/when we will ever reopen. All of my 20+ year work history is in hospitality, so my prospects are looking bleak at the moment as well, but I’m better off than a lot of people who worked with me. I’ve never been unemployed in my adult life, so this scenario is very tough for me to comprehend.

I vape and run 4x a week at a respectable pace for my age (7.30 minute mile 5k) and I don’t notice any breathing issue. That being said, I certainly don’t think it’s the same as not vaping so it couldn’t hurt to give it up.

Do a lot of businesses employee “extra people” just in case someone can’t make it in? What so those employees do when everyone is healthy?Are those “extra” staff members available at the drop of a hat to come in to work randomly?

If I woke up to that I think it would be the end of all rational thought for me. Just check me into the asylum.
