The town of Chapel Hill, especially the downtown businesses, has to be devastated too.

The closing of Moe’s marks the latest in a series of Franklin Street and Chapel Hill businesses that have not made it through the economic challenges presented by COVID-19. In April, Lotsa Stone Fired Pizza permanently closed its doors. More recently, Lula’s Fried Chicken and Ms Mong on East Franklin Street announced they too would not be reopening. (Chapelboro.com)
UNC’s decision to switch to a remote learning model and move students off campus came after university data showed 130 students tested positive for coronavirus in the first week of classes. This remote learning model means the Chapel Hill community will say goodbye to many students as dorms close and university buildings are shuttered. (Chapelboro.com)

the K&W Cafeteria has closed. Where the hell am I supposed to get liver and onions now? Maybe Popeye's or McDonald's will start offering it.

I'm all for blame someone. My question is this, how do you suppose to make them pay? Would it have changed the spread of covid? I agree, they should have sounded the alarm earlier, but it was already to late at that point. We were going to face this regardless. May have taken longer, but same result. I still think everyone will be exposed eventually, if not already
