Since fast food lives so well on take out you might not get laid off into unemployment land.

This virus lives easily on surfaces. Honest to God, how is there anyone still willing to eat fast food? That’s just insane.

A couple of times since you posted it I have thought about the customer who can't be too careful with the Chinese, even with records made in the 80s, and it makes me chuckle to myself.

I read that the virus dies in your stomach. You're supposed to transfer food from to a cleaned plate immeditely, wash your hands, then eat without slathering your burger on your face first. People might have a hard time with that last part.

Yeah you're not in danger from eating infected food so much as you're in danger from breathing the same air as us or possibly eating infected food and getting disease on your lips or in your mouth and breathing that in, and I don't even ****ing know if that makes a difference but it sure as **** shouldn't be comforting to anyone. Stop coming to Burger King just cause McDonald's is closed, you dumb ****s. And why the **** are the elderly still coming en masse? I swear to god I saw an old guy come in to get carryout who ate at the counter cause we've blocked off the dining room. WHAT THE ****?!

At the bottom of the page it makes it clear that if you exclude China the cases are in fact skyrocketing.
