LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- As the number of coronavirus cases in California rapidly escalates, Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling for all bars in the state to close. Newsom is also asking all Californians age 65 and older and those with chronic conditions to isolate themselves at home.

"We are calling for the home isolation of all those 65 years or older and all those with chronic conditions," Newsom said.

He said all bars, wineries, nightclubs and brewpubs should be closed.

Why is that the right call ? Under 6,000 dead since November world wide. Give me a break. It’s another russia russia russia. The swine flu was stronger that’s how it killed younger people. This is all pearl clutching .

but why target bars only?

Oh, the huge manatee! Think of all that green beer that won't be drunk on Tuesday.

“Newsom’s call for the shutdowns was described as “guidance” rather than a legal order by the government, as some states have chosen to do. But he said he felt confident the public would voluntarily comply.”

I guess I better get out while I still can without getting arrested.

What is this sudden infatuation with Democrat governors and Mayors shutting down bars and liquor stores?!

Have they made a deal with CAIR?

More like Cair-ie.

They aren’t going to shutdown truck stops, the day that happens is black rifle day. Everything in this country for stores moves on a big truck. You go to a store? What you bought was hauled by a big truck. Period

This from a State that encourages people to poop in the street and sodomize each other’s butt-holes.

Anyone harboring a septuagenarian, octogenarian or nonagenarians will be considered a felon. They will all be required to report to their nearest nursing home for government examination/care. GOV mints will be handed out during the processing. Our doctors said they are OK...right Dr. Kevorkian? Trust us. We’re from the government.

Worst case scenarios BUMP!

I disagree. Look at what’s happening in Italy. Death toll still climbing. It was business as usual for most of them 7-14 days ago, and it’s gotten much worse.

There are a lot of idiots out there (millennials particularly) who aren’t taking this seriously. There were stories yesterday of packed bars and St Paddy’s Day pub crawls in full swing. There is community spread happening in San Francisco and San Jose. Knowing that, who crams like a sardine into a crowded bar of 200 people? A fool. And there are apparently a lot of them.

No, it’s not. Asking 65+ to self isolate was the right call but the rest could have taken less drastic action like half the # of normal customers. We are going to have a global depression (not recession) in the next two months if this keeps up much longer. How many restaurants, hotels, airlines, retail stores, etc can withstand a 50-100% drop in revenue for a few months? Hint: Not many. And you are talking 10+ million of jobs, and that’s not counting the domino effects (those losing their jobs stop spending, default on debt, stocks collapse to lower than 2009 etc)

Unfortunately, Trump thought like you at the beginning and now he has a hot mess.

84% of Italy's deaths are 70+ with majority over 80. They also are being overwhelmed. Look at Germany, SK and many other countries with significantly lower hospitalization and death rates. What we need to do is have seniors self-isolate and those caring for them. Here is a great article on why different countries have different death rates

"Apparently, many people don’t like freedom and the risks it brings. If you chose to not go somewhere, OK. To have the government shut your businesses and make people stay isolated seems a bit of overkill."

This is not just about your right to go somewhere.

This is also about the people you might spread it to, if you get it. The overburdened hospital that you're going to want treatment from when it turns out you didn't just get a mild case. The 70 year old man who is going to be denied a ventilator because you are younger and more likely to live.

This is not a time to think only of yourself and to claim any restrictions are tyrannical.

This will pass. It's temporary.

If you can't see the other side, you need to spend some time on your heart, because you don't have much of one.

I’m sorry. Stop worrying about the economy in the short term. It’ll be fine in the long run. Shutdowns work. Lodi, Italy, shut down on 2/23. Bergamo waited until 3/8. Witness the difference...

Amazon will deliver wine and liquor. One has to 21 to receive it but it one is forced to stay home because of being 65 that would be no problem.
