长难句解析
Most dine-in restaurants across the country (主语) have either remained (系动词1) shut (表语1) for the last 80 days or stayed (系动词2) deserted (表语2) as people practice social distancing (原因状语从句).
本句主干为平行结构 sth have either done A or done B. across the country 是介宾结构作后置定语，修饰主语 restaurants。either... or...连接两个并列的系表结构，表明餐馆的状态，for the last 80 days 为介宾短语作时间状语，最后是 as 引导的原因状语从句，表明餐馆处于关门状态的原因。
