The Cornonavirus Scare is Impacting Some Chinese Restaurants Around the Country. That’s Just Flat Out Wrong!

It’s hard to believe that the coronavirus scare is actually keeping some people around the country away from Chinese restaurants.

In times like this, people can become panicked and irrational, but because the virus originated in China does not in any way mean that avoiding Chinese restaurants or the people who work there will somehow decrease the likelihood of being exposed to the virus.

The bottom line is that most Chinese restaurants have backed off MSG and prepare exceptionally healthy and delicious food. The employees are fastidious about cleanliness. The owners bend over backwards to provide a safe and hospitable environment.

The notion that there’s any connection at all between the virus and Chinese Americans is absurd and xenophobic.

As for my wife and I we’re going to Chinatown Westlake tonight.
