Southern California Braces for Lockdown, Except for ‘Essential’ Entertainment Industry

The Los Angeles Times reports:

The regions will implement the order Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Bars, wineries and personal-care services must close; restaurants must halt all dining; and gatherings of people from different households will be prohibited, the state confirmed. The rules will remain in place for at least three weeks.

The order — the latest in a series of attempts to slow the spread of the coronavirus and prevent local healthcare systems from becoming overwhelmed — is triggered when a region’s ICU capacity drops below 15%. Southern California’s ICU capacity Saturday was 12.5%, and the San Joaquin Valley’s was 8.6%, according to data released by the state.

Retail businesses will be limited to 20% customer capacity indoors, and stores will be required to ensure that there is no indoor eating or drinking.

Entertainment productions and professional sports will continue to be allowed, without live audiences.

Five counties in the San Francisco Bay Area will also be shutting down, the San Francisco Chronicle reports, with the stay-at-home orders in effect even longer than in Southern California, lasting through Jan. 4.

Hmmmm. So businesses that are essential will be allowed only 20% capacity. What about bars and eateries frequented by the anointed? Is there special dispensation for them to serve said anointed folks? Gee, I wonder who makes up the list. How about travel? Is that still prohibited? Are the jails sufficiently cleared out to hold any violators of the kings edicts?

My son just texted me that the sheriff in Orange County said that he will not have law enforcement harassing folks that aren’t breaking the law.

Heard a bishop on Raymond Arroyo’s interview show who complained about strict restrictions on prayer gatherings for Jews and Christians but tattoo parlors and other places were wide open. Essential. Not a joke.

In short they are going to develop a program after they kill small businesses because of “planned” mandatory lock downs. You see, those that now own businesses are the inequality white devils that are holding back those who are being disenfranchised by you. The goverment will offer low interest loans and “GRANTS” to those they deem are being disenfranchised by you. Blacks, minorities, transgender, women, gays and lesbians. White men need not apply Shuffling the deck, the great reset, your government against you

Three weeks starting tomorrow?

So that’s all the way through Christmas! They’re trying to cancel Christmas! Gatherings of people from different households means no relatives allowed for Christmas dinner. That’s garbage! Let’s see SWAT break down some doors of people violating these dictatorial, absurd orders. That will get things started for real. This is beyond absurd. Is this the Soviet Union of America??

/rant off

In the mentions of ICU capacity, I have not seen discussion of what specific % of the ICU capacity is actually now held by Covid-19 patients, and what exactly is the change in THAT %?

Or is some heart and other critically ill patients now succumbing to all the lock downs with greater despair and more weakened conditions unrelated to Covid-19?

AND how much of that ICU capacity is now due NOT to Covid or any other patient reasons but due to lay offs at hospitals?

Remember when Chrysler shut down only republican owned dealerships?

This is just another phase of a democrat plan to destroy businesses owned by likely republican donors.

Follow the money.

They are accelerating the forgetting of old habits and the internalizing of new habits. Deconstructing and reconstructing. Like in cults and colleges.

Fundamental transformation.
