For my micro view of this issue, I went in a restaurant in Atlanta on Thursday night at 7 pm where I had never, in fifteen years of going there, seen an empty table. The place was somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 full - just stunning. The food was as good as it always was, and easy to get in and out of the parking lot, but at what cost. No-one wants to do something crazy and make matters worse, but the cumulative effect of this on the economy will be felt.
