NPC International, once one of the largest and most successful restaurant franchisee businesses in America, filed for bankruptcy in 2020 with some $900 million in debt. The largest operator of Pizza Hut and Wendy's restaurants was sold to Flynn Restaurant Group, another large operator, which will take over the majority of roughly 1,300 bankrupt locations of both chains.After months of negotiation, Judge David Jones of the Southern District of Texas has given the approval to a deal that will see NPC sell off some 951 Pizza Hut locations and nearly 200 Wendy's restaurants to the Flynn Restaurant Group, according to PYMNTS. Wendy's parent company will buy the remaining 200 of its own restaurants, many of which will then be offered to a handful of pre-approved franchise owners. (Related: McDonald's Is Making These 8 Major Upgrades.)The negotiations were brought to a close earlier this month when a deal was finally reached between Flynn Restaurant Group and Wendy's, the two parties battling for the right to purchase the 400 Wendy's locations in question. The chain wanted to acquire all the locations and distribute them to its franchisees to ensure the locations remain Wendy's restaurants.The $800 million sale comes after a challenging year for restaurants around the country, during which dine-in Pizza Hut locations were hit particularly hard. Some 300 Pizza Hut restaurants were closed permanently last year as NPC, which operated a fifth of all Pizza Hut locations in the United States, entered bankruptcy.Other fast-food chains and fast-casual restaurant companies hit hard during the pandemic included Subway, Ruby Tuesday, Chuck E. Cheese, California Pizza Kitchen, and many more. Some chains, such as Souplantation, ended up going out of business entirely.Don't forget to sign up for our newsletter to get the latest restaurant news delivered straight to your inbox.

We may never get back to what life was like before the coronavirus, but you might be wondering: When might we approach some degree of normality? When might we go shopping again without worrying the check-out line isn't evenly spaced? Or back to the theater to enjoy a Broadway show? Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the President and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been monitoring vaccinations and has an idea about when we might return to normal. Read on for his latest prediction—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. Dr. Fauci Says We Could Reach Normality By Fall—If Enough People Get Vaccinated"The goal we have, of a hundred million vaccines in the first hundred million days is, is a laudable goal," Fauci told Alex Witt on MSNBC. "I believe we'll be able to do that, but as we get further on into the subsequent months, and we get a lot more vaccines available, then you're going to see a much broader approach using these community vaccine centers and pharmacies, et cetera. So I believe we can do it."In order to reach herd immunity, we need 70% to 85% of Americans vaccinated, he says. Fauci thinks we can get there but does have one big concern. "One of the things that's of concern to me, and the reason why we're putting a amount of effort into it is to get over the vaccine hesitancy that we see in some segments of the population, particularly in understandably minority populations who have some hesitancy or skepticism based on some historical mistreatments," he said. "So we've really tried the best as we can. And you explain that you understand the hesitancy they may have, but you go over the things that you need explanation of, like, why did we go so quickly? Was that a compromise of safety? Or was it just as it really was a reflection of extraordinary scientific advances? So we need the vaccine, we need to get it implemented, but we need to overcome the hesitancy that's associated with some segments of the population."Witt asked if we do reach the goal of vaccinating 70 to 85% of Americans, would that mean a return entirely to pre-pandemic life?"I believe that if we do get that 70 to 85% of the population vaccinated, we would reach a degree of herd immunity that would get us to approach strongly a degree of normality," he said. "I don't think we're going to be absolutely where we were prior to this pandemic, but we could be doing many things that we're really hesitant to do right now. I would say sometime by the fall. But again, that's contingent on a lot of things, falling into place, including getting the people to accept the vaccine and be vaccinated. But I think we can approach a degree of normality as we get into the fall of 2021."RELATED: If You Feel This, You May Have Already Had COVID, Says Dr. FauciHow to Get Through This Pandemic UnharmedFollow Fauci's fundamentals and help end this surge, no matter where you live—wear a face mask, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

There's a new coronavirus strain in America from the U.K., and it's in 20 states and it's more transmissible—this we knew. Now, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the President and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is saying we have to also presume this U.K. mutation is deadlier, too. Read on for his warning, and how he says you should protect yourself—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. Dr. Fauci Said We Have to Assume the COVID-19 Mutation Can Cause More DeathU.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said yesterday at a news briefing: "We've been informed today that in addition to spreading more quickly, it also now appears that there is some evidence that the new variant—the variant that was first discovered in London and the southeast [of England]—may be associated with a higher degree of mortality."Dr. Fauci, who had previously said there was no evidence of it being more deadly, now says it may be. "The data that came out was after they had been saying all along that it did not appear to be more deadly," he told Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation. "So that's where we got that information. But when the British investigators look more closely at the death rate of a certain age group, they found that it was one, two per thousand, we'll say, and then it went up to 1.3 per thousand in a certain group. So that's a significant increase. So their most recent data is in accord with the Brits are saying, we want to look at the data ourselves, but we have every reason to believe them. They're a very competent group. So we need to assume now that what has been circulating dominantly in the U.K. does have a certain degree of increase in what we call virulence, namely the power of the virus to cause more damage, including death."The U.K. mutation has been discovered in the following U.S. states: MassachusettsWyomingLouisianaMichiganOregonIllinoisUtahNew MexicoWisconsinMarylandIndianaMinnesotaConnecticutTexasPennsylvaniaGeorgiaNew YorkFloridaCaliforniaColoradoRELATED: 7 Tips You Must Follow to Avoid COVID, Say DoctorsDr. Fauci Says Our Current Vaccines Should Protect You From the MutationsAs for the new strain—"well, there are actually two different ones," says Fauci. "When you look at the effect of the change, this lineage, that is the U,K. lineage that is now in at least 20 states in the United States—for vaccine induced antibodies, namely the vaccines that some of us have gotten, and that we're rolling out, the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines seem to continue to be protective against the mutant," he said. "And the strain is a very minor diminution, but the cushion that you have of efficacy is so large that it's not going to negatively impact." However, we are also facing a potential South African variant, which has yet to be discovered in the USA. He said it's "a little bit more concerning with the South African isolate, namely—the mutant that is now prevalent in South Africa—particularly its negative impact on some of the monoclonal antibodies that have been given for treatment, that it can, in some respects, knock out their efficacy. It looks like it does diminish more so the efficacy of the vaccine, but we're still within that cushion level of the vaccines being efficacious against these." RELATED: If You Feel This, You May Have Already Had COVID, Says Dr. FauciHow to Get Through This Pandemic"The best way to prevent the further evolution of these mutants is to vaccinate as many people as possible with the vaccines that we have currently available to us. That's the best protection against this evolution," says Dr. Fauci. So get vaccinated ASAP and follow his fundamentals and help end this surge, no matter where you live—wear a face mask, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.
