Houston billionaire Tilman Fertitta furloughed 40,000 workers nationwide -
Owned by Houston billionaire Tilman Fertitta, Landry’s has furloughed approximately 70 percent of its workforce nationwide. Landry’s operates a number of high-profile Houston restaurants including Mastro’s, Vic & Anthony’s, Del Frisco’s, Willie G’s, and Grotto. Nationally, its brands include Saltgrass Steakhouse, the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, and Rainforest Cafe.
Despite the setbacks, Fertitta remains optimistic about his company’s prospects. He’s hoping that authorities who have closed restaurant dining rooms will allow them to reopen in a few weeks.

Quarantined In India: No Soap, Dirty Toilets, Not Enough Coronavirus Tests -
npr:
Not enough toilets – and the ones there are often dirty. Beds crammed together. The only way to shower is with water from a bucket that everyone has to share. No soap or hand sanitizer.
People who’ve been quarantined in India for suspected exposure to coronavirus say conditions inside government facilities are unsanitary and unsafe — ripe to foment an outbreak rather than prevent one. Indians are posting photos and videos on social media of dirty sheets, broken toilets and trash littering crowded quarantine centers.
The World Health Organization says the arc of the global pandemic may depend on what huge, densely-populated countries like India do next.
