San Francisco officials demand explanation for outdoor dining ban

...outcry over the ban on outdoor dining continues to grow.

...some San Francisco elected officials will be holding an emergency meeting next week, in order to demand that public health officials clearly explain the reasons why.

Parklets stand empty on 18th street in Potrero Hill as outdoor dining has been shut down under the new health order.

It’s something Supervisor Matt Haney supports.

“...we also need to have a conversation about the ways that this could lead people to go inside and do more risky activities,” Haney said. “Everything that I’ve seen has shown that the single most risky thing you can do to get this virus is to be inside with other people especially in gatherings, I haven’t seen any data at all to show that outdoor especially with one or two other people dining we’re going on a walk to a park is contributing to the spread at all.”

Push back on the ban on outdoor dining is happening in many places around the state.

On Friday, a group of Sacramento lawmakers signed a letter to the Alcoholic Beverage Control to immediately cease enforcement of the ban.

The owner of a Martinez bar and restaurant is one of several establishments suing Contra Costa County for enforcing the ban ahead of the state last week. He says he can’t make it on take out only and has had to lay off staff.

“It’s just me to cook now. I went to five employees to two, and one’s a single mom, how is she supposed to pay her bills? She has rent to pay, she’s a little kid, my business like others it’s like a family we’re here to look out for each other,” Corey Katz said. “And how can I look out for my family if I’m being handcuffed.”

The photo reminds me of the Rice-A-Roni commercials I grew up with as a kid.

Instead of demanding an explanation, just ignore it.

There’s a lot of naturally occurring asbestos outdoors on Potrero Hill.

Simple to understand.
Some believe no price is too great to pay to save a life.
Others understand that isn’t true.
Guess which group support these virus mitigation protocols.
