California Governor Closes All Bars, Cuts Restaurant Capacities to Stop Coronavirus

Will restaurants be providing complementary tape measures so you can accurately measure your "social distance" from the next table?

Has CA defined what that minimum distance is yet? Does it apply only to strangers? Or are there different distances for different categories, like spouse, immediate family, extended family, close friend, friend with benefits, not-so-close friend, neighbor, acquaintance, I-think-kinda-know-him, stranger, stranger but required interaction (servers, hostesses, etc)? Has the CA EPA weighed in of the likely environmental impact yet?

So how are bars and other closed places expected to stay in business if they're forced closed for an unknown number of weeks? Or does everyone just expect mommy and daddy FedGov to come in and pay for everything?

Good catch!

I sure do miss news stands...

I used to spend a lot of time reading the magazines at our Rexall Drug Store magazine rack when I was a kid.

I'm thinking that these aren't going to be a COVID-19 hotspot.

Hard to read the product. Is that a Greek falafel mix?

What if the restaurant has a bar? What’s next is he going to set up a system like gas rationing under Mr. Peanut where only half of the states residents can shop at a time depending if their address is odd or even since not everyone has a car?

I’m getting toward the point where you are. I am getting really suspicious about the governmental power grab and, when this ebbs, how much easier it will be next time for fed state and local governments to boss people around at the drop of a hat.

We just got back from the grocery store, and it looked like the Soviet Union, except for all the corned beef (pretty much all there was in the meat dept.).

This is why you don’t vote for command and control liberals to any office, let alone a governorship.

I’d be happy if he’d get the people in tents off the streets!

Believe it or not, Mike DeWine’s Ohio order is more fascistic than Gavin Newsom’s! I’m not kidding.

And in 2033, we will have the generation known as “The Quarenteens”.

Do ALL of you realize what the hell the MSM has been able to accomplish here this is VERY FRIGHTENING much more frightening than a damned virus!! Everyone NEEDS TO WAKE THE HELL UP and start pushing back!!!

STOP watching the news and start watching President Trump and his team. You guys are getting so worked up over MSM coverage that you've almost decided that this isn't a real thing going on here.

“That being said, the governor did not address the closing of movie theaters in this announcement.”

Hollyweird has more pull than the restaurant industry.

Makes ya’ sick, don’t it? It does me, and I’ve about had all I can take from these bastards.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

But, of course, the border is still open... sigh

[Bullish]

I believe it, politicians from both parties are a pox on our nation.

“The paper goods in the Mountain View, California Safeway were completely wiped out... “

Was that a pun? :)

Would this include restaurants in hotels? Even at half capacity, I would think this would put tourists at a big disadvantage.
