Restaurants and bars make it on volume. If restrictions are put in place limiting seating or capacity, how many will survive?

More than will survive with zero revenue. Hopefully with limited capacity + curbside takeout (which will continue), more will make it than would have if we stay fully shut down.

BEFORE this virus, restaurants and bars were statistically the worse business to get in (due to failure rates). I just don't see how you will be able to social distance effectively and keep these type businesses open. Or will the taxpayers subsidize every bar and eatery in the country?

I mean we're already going to be subsidizing billionaires in the hotel, airline, cruise ship, O&G, farm, and tons of other industries. Is subsidizing small restaurant owners the line in the sand where we choose to be outraged?
