What can we do?

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

This is a screenshot of a social media posting by the restaurant 2twenty2tavern. They are forced to close because of a mandate made by the governor to not allow indoor seating. As the summer months come to a quick end many restaurants are left with the question what can we do?

This is just one example of the effects that Covid has had on people. WIth the summer coming to a close, the last real possibility to have any outdoor dining. But as the number of Covid cases continues to rise everyday the Governor decided to restrict indoor seating and placed curfews on how long business could stay open. Because of this many restaurants will have no choice but to close their doors. Leaving many people back on unemployment only weeks before the holiday season starts. Covid continues to change and effect everyone differently, unfortunately it does not seem like we will see the end of this anytime soon.
