I don’t think it’s all ‘unfounded prejudice’. People here have relatives all over Asia; they travel back and forth all the time. I’ve been wondering about restaurant and carryout food in general, not just Chinese.
Have you driven by a nail salon, lately? Every one I’ve seen, in the last week, is empty. Could just be the time of day that I’ve happened by.
The majority of nail salons, in Texas, anyway, are owned by Vietnamese.
MANY of the nail techs travel to their old country, throughout the year. They can fly back on flights that have connected with flights containing pax, from China.
Are these flights (from VN), now being screened at one of the five specialized US airports? I pray so.
