Seattle Now: Seattle diners have reservations
Seattle has slowed down dramatically in recent days due to the coronavirus. Amazon and Microsoft told its employees to work from home. Emerald City Comic-con is being postponed.
A lot of this has happened suddenly, and due to valid concerns about transmitting the virus in large groups.
But one of the first places to feel the impact has been the city's Chinese restaurants, out of fear that they are somehow linked to the virus -- which they are not.
Guests: Tan Vinh, reporter with the Seattle Times and Harry Chan, owner of Tai Tung in Chinatown
