Yeah, it’s deadly for restaurants. Really no hope.
I wonder who will re-open them. Demand will return.
Would be nice if the old owners can find their way back but I can’t see how.

Agreed. I'm really worried about some of our local restaurants.. We know some of the owners, although not well enough to ask them how they're doing right now.

Here in The People's Republic of Connecticut, only restaurants with outdoor seating are supposedly going to open on May 20th (I'll believe it when I see it).

Not that many CT restaurants have outdoor seating. It will be interesting to see who survives this...
