I wonder how the sushi eaters are reacting to the Covid-19?

1. dunno, but they are avoiding chinese restaurants......

Several are saying they may have to close.

[Polybius]

2. I just ordered sushi

Not stopping me.

[cwydro]

3. What does sushi have to do with the virus?

I don’t get it.

[Mosby]

20. I found this

But I dont know what a conveyor belt system for sushi is, the pic doesn't help much.

5. What in the world?

6. COVID-19 and Sushi?

What's the connection? Can you explain?

[cwydro]

8. I asked too.

No answer.

Baffling.

[MineralMan]

10. I guess we aren't going to get any additional information.

Unless the sushi-maker has COVID-19, I can't see any increased risk from eating sushi. I don't know about other places, but the sushi chef at my favorite spot was born in the United States and hasn't been to Japan in years. Do fish carry the COVID-19 virus? I hadn't heard anything about that.

15. Hygiene is a religion among sushi chefs in Japan

They usually spend their first year in training doing nothing but cleaning

[LiberalArkie]

21. I don't ether, but for those that don't know. But Corona beer taking a hit..

Covid-19 started at a uncooked fresh "kill" market.

Fish might carry something as dirty as the water is, but probably no viruses, just metals. Maybe there is money to be made ming fish for the metals?

7. No more exposure than any other uncooked public food prep.

9. I wonder what Japanese food has to do with an illness that originated in China!

[MineralMan]

12. Yeah...makes no sense at all.

Besides, my sushi is made right here in St. Paul, MN.

[cwydro]

14. An excellent question.

[Spider Jerusalem]

19. "Japanese, Chinese, they all look alike to me" (n/t)

[Submariner]

11. I would love to see the Bluefin Tuna industry collapse and see "Wicked Tuna" TV program

cancelled. If they can't sell it then don't bother catching them. Bluefins are on the edge of economic extinction anyway.

The Bluefin fishermen are catching the spawners now, and soon that fishery will collapse. It will be like the Newfoundland cod fishery crash.

[MineralMan]

13. I don't eat Bluefin sushi for that reason.

[JHB]

16. Smaller portions?

Although I don't think it has much to do with the virus.

[stillcool]

17. just like you?

[TeamPooka]

18. The statement feels racist and bigoted to me
