RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:BidThe counter-argument to that would be that we are seeing the rise of home food delivery services like Hello Fresh and Good Foods, and also takeout delivery like Uber Eats - however, none of them can replace the social nature of a meal at a restaurant. Plus, it looks like a certain segment of the population will have lots of money to spend on discretionary stuff like eating out. I think popular chains like Jack Astor's will benefit from that, whereas the weaker players may not survive to benefit.

To me, oil demand should be lost for good, at least a portion of it, because of the use of Google meeting and Zoom for online meeting. A lot of hi-tech companies are finding themselves saving millions of dollars because of the change of business venue. They are unlikely to want to change back. Therefore, a certain portion of oil demand will be lost because of reduced travelling for business meeting. However, as far as eating is concern, nothing will be changed. You cannot do virtual breakfast, lunch or dinner. It must be phyiscal. Therefore, they will eventually return back to normal. The happy hormones resulted from eating will drive out all fears. JMHO.
