Yes but if you owned a restaurant in LA county to be forced to close for a year was death

Restaurants weren't closed for a year or anything even close to that.

Yes they were. You could do outdoor seating /delivery, and pick up orders only. And, it was like that for a year

That isn't my definition of "closed".

Closed is closed.

that forced many to go out of business because there werent enough business to stay open. people didnt want outdoor seating or delivery from sit down restaurants. so yeah, covid restrictions annihilated private business/restaurants

Oh sorry that keeping a restaurant open is more important than killing people with a highly contagious respiratory disease.

No one is saying that! But, we are saying there wasn’t a good plan in place to compensate these restaurant owners. When they got to reopen rent was upped and food costs were up. They had zero breathing room. This industry was hit the hardest.
