JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Waffle House has now closed 365 locations across the U.S. due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The breakfast-chain announced the news on their Facebook page Tuesday morning.

While more than 300 locations have closed, 1,627 remain open.

Hell’s bells. Any one eating regularly at Waffle Houses has a natural immunity to damn near anything.

Not to change the subject, but bacon and butter doesn't cause those types of death.

True story.

Are you aware of the ongoing cholesterol problem in the country?

I wonder where folks are going to have their brawls next?, now that Waffle House is shutting down.

The Waffle House Index is an informal metric named after the Waffle House restaurant chain and is used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to determine the effect of a storm and the likely scale of assistance required for disaster recovery.[1]

If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That's really bad...[2]

— Craig Fugate, Former Head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency

The measure is based on the reputation of Waffle House for having good disaster preparedness and staying open during extreme weather, or reopening quickly afterwards.

No kidding! The wiki page has been around since Sept 3, 2011.

Hate to hear that but I’ve never seen one around where I live.

[Cobra64]

So, what’s your point?

[Cobra64]

Y’all can joke about this, but consider that this condition is symptomatic of closures occurring all over America, and imagine the employees who are out of work. How are they coping?

[McGruff]

If I was a small business entrepreneur I’d by one or more and just change the name.

White House closed 365 agencies and NGOs across the U.S.A.? Sorry, I misread that.

IMO...the greatest r&r song in American history with a terrific arrangement.

Maybe tomorrow...free at last.

It sucks.

Also important: where do the truckers eat?
(where do they get spare parts?)

[Herakles]

These guys don’t waffle around!

[Loud Mime]

Waffle House - where everybody in the place knows what you ordered.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Carrying out waffles should be the easiest thing to do. Put them in a paper bag and give them to the customer. PERIOD.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m gonna have to make waffles later today...

[Sapwolf]

My one reason to be out ccw at night...gone.

As potus says...”that’s sad”

[DeplorableGirl]

The one near me in Baton Rouge is still open. And it’s new, just built six months ago!! Maybe I’ll have breakfast from there today...

[drop 50 and fire for effect]

Don’t they know that anyone who has ever been to Waffle House (including myself) is immune to anything?

My theory is that you ingest so many viruses and bacteria at a Waffle house that they expend all their energy competing with each other. Therefore, none affect the host organism.
