“They say seventy percent of independent restaurants will not be re-opening…

But you should be fine.”

who says, where does that number come from, why do I have the feeling it was pulled out of someone’s ass to enumerate a trend line…

… The local alt weekly won’t even number the figure, reporting instead a “anecdotally, a lot of restaurants say the just won’t re-open” …anecdotal the key word…

— And this source keeps throwing up non-textual headlines numbers.  For instance, apparently Multnomah County has sped to the lead in the state in total number of cases.  Surely you jest — given it’s the most populous county, I would consider it highly interesting if it didn’t.  Meanwhike, Josephine County has nothing much, but again… Who lives there?  If it were near the top of the heap, that would be reportable!

Maybe it will only be sixty percent, and I can find the stray over heard phone conversationalist and say “neener neener”.
