Feels bad to see these restaurants empty.
Since everything is empty, I’m gonna eat out here and there and try to support these small businesses.

I’ve been trying to do the same, at least for lunch, but it’s getting harder. A lot of places around me have gone takeout-only–which is understandable and probably for the best. Others have just shut completely for at least a couple of weeks, which worries me that most of their staff have no source of income.
