Exactly. As long as these "essential" jobs are open, people will still violate shelter-in-place orders, and there's a lot of businesses that are useless that are still operating because of that essential status. I don't want people to lose their jobs, but the only way to prevent another collapse is by shutting everything down for months.A shame that many jobs are falsely considered "Essential activity" (and yet receive nothing to justify their elevated status except for an increased risk of contracting COVID-19).
Hit my phone about 30 minutes ago. It appears just about everyone in California is receiving this.
First kind of COVID alert I've ever received.
I feel like a dentist appointment would reasonably fall into the category of "essential work" given that it's something you're doing for the sake of your health. Even if it's just a check up and not any actual procedure, check up's are important as preventive care because it's always better to find and deal with potential problems before they become major issues
Unless something changed snce they announced it, this is only for areas with low remaining ICU capacity.

Yeah my family group chat has just exploded over this.. Right as I'm on my way to the gym
Public gyms are supposed to be closed if you're in an area of the state covered by the stay at home order.
Retail as in small businesses are being allowed to stay open at 20% this time because the state literally doesn't have the funds to help them be closed for a while. That's what federal support is intended for and we're not getting it. Agreed on the big box stores thoughA shame that many jobs are falsely considered "Essential activity" (and yet receive nothing to justify their elevated status except for an increased risk of contracting COVID-19).
Your region hasn't reached the threshold to lockdown yet. North California and Bay Area haven't either but half of Bay is locking down voluntarily
Sigh I wish it would. Curbing non essential air travel would have a huge positive effect for Christmas
Why don't you go tell all these people who aren't able to pay rent or put food on the table that their job is useless. Outta here with that shit. When the gov starts paying people to stay home, maybe people will stay home.Exactly.

Even with the vaccine, there will still be outbreaks.
Because generally people do not workout with masks on.This one is outdoors and remaining open... it may come to let's not talk about fight club type of thing. And before anyone jumped down my throat I've never seen more precautions taken, everything is constantly wipe down by the people there everyone has masks they're constantly walking around seeing if people have masks etc. etc. That people can fuck around and go to malls but for some reason places like gyms are the disaster zone 's… Please.
