New Bay Area wide lockdown, beginning Sunday until January 4. Very similar to March 17. One helluva holiday season.

Looks like more household projects for me!

Are you sure? I thought Gov Good Hair said yesterday that we had to hit some 15% ICU limit. It was poorly worded. But still, the bay area was better than other areas.

Website is cumbersome

Edit, I think we are not currently under stay at home orders

They will.
I work for a beer distributor and since COVID our numbers are up compared to last year. Bars and restaurants are down of course but people buy more beer at the grocery stores and that more than makes up for it.

I work for a newspaper and my boss is on it. We have to either change many of our stories and put cancelled banners over things. Our advertisers are running ads for services they will not be able to deliver. This is the county health officers making a joint announcement except San Mateo.

This is Bay Area wide, not from Newsom per se, but in the spirit of "lets just go ahead and shut it down." Don't need to reach the 15%.

Five Bay Area counties have decided not to wait for the state's planned regional stay-at-home order and are implementing the new restrictions ahead of schedule.

Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Santa Clara, San Francisco and the City of Berkeley (which has its own public health department) announced the new measures in a joint press conference Friday afternoon.

Here's what will change when the order goes into effect:
Restaurants will close to both indoor and outdoor dining. They can only do takeout or delivery.

Bars and wineries have to close (indoor and outdoor)

Hair salons, barbershops, nail salons and other personal care services have to close

All retail stores can stay open, but must drop capacity to 20%

Private gatherings of any size will be prohibited

^^^ :laughing
this is funny. But yeah, I recall hearing this already.


perhaps this is true only in count, not in volume--since when bars are restaurants had been open they may have been buying more liquid by volume, instead?

Sitting outside, properly distanced, without the walled-in tents (which make "outdoor" dining really indoor anyway) is fine. Kelly and I both did this many times without issue. I'm not against that at all.

The essentially giant indoor tents are hilarious.

Personally I don’t think individual piecemeal shut downs is correct
