On January 5th of 2020, Turners and dozen staff members and city officials ate at Ocean Palace “in a bid to alleviate concerns and tamp down on rumors about COVID-19.”
The Chronicle reported that “concern and rumors about the disease have cut into traffic at Asiatown restaurants and businesses.”
Mayor Turner said at the restaurant “we don’t want the fear to put us at a point where we are doing more damage to ourselves than the virus.”
Isn’t that interesting that a year later, the Mayor is basically pushing to do “more damage to ourselves” with the continue lockdowns than the virus.
Here are some of the pictures from the Mayor’s Communications Director, Mary Benton.
