| Spreckels Organ Pavilion at December Nights (Taken 12.6.2019) |
Talk about doom-scrolling. I was trying to motivate to run to Costco for provisions with the Stay-at-home order imminent and instead decided it can wait until next week. Now I'm slightly regretting that decision because the California COVID site updated with new data, putting San Diego, as part of the greater Southern California Region, at 13.1% ICU capacity which is below the 15% trigger for the new Stay-At-Home order. The effective order is a little wonky...the order kicks in at 12:59pm on December 5th and sectors must be closed within 48 hours. But once the trigger is met from that point, which it already has, businesses have 24 hours to comply. So I think either way, everything needs to be closed or adhering to reduced capacities by Monday at 12:59pm. I did see a lot of restaurants reminding people that they can still do curbside and takeout, but a reminder NOT to use food delivery apps, which take nearly a third of the money. I would also highly recommend that anyone who can, like my sister who is a hair stylist, should file for unemployment as soon as your first shift is cut. This order will last a minimum of three weeks, and with the after-effect of Thanksgiving still rolling in, I wouldn't expect this order to be lifted until sometime in mid to late January, and beyond that if we can't get things under control and make alternate plans for the upcoming holidays.
