The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the United States, not just in terms of lives lost, but also in terms of the country’s ability to maintain a fully operational economy.
The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the United States, not just in terms of lives lost, but also in terms of the country’s ability to maintain a fully operational economy.
The pandemic has drastically affected the restaurant industry in the U.S.. With the government imposing several restrictions, many in the food industry incurred heavy losses and shut down their operations altogether.
