My step son just left this AM to return to SF. He says everything there is shut down which is one reason he came to visit here. I don't view a complete shut down as a viable solution to much of anything, it causes other problems clearly, and the impact on the spread is a positive, but it just comes back later. I'm reading that CA hospitals are being overrun now. I don't hear that is the case around here (yet).
My thought on a shut down was to provide some time to prevent that from happening until we could get the vaccine widely distributed.
He told me that many restaurants in SF spent a lot of money to set up for outside dining and then that was curtailed as well, and what's worse, they now are getting fined because the homeless sleep in their outside fining areas and create trash, so they get fined for that (the restaurants).
