A new set of restrictions were implemented last week for residents of Contra Costa County. The goal is to increase the percentage of vaccinated citizens. The County will adopt some of the strictest COVID-19 measures in the country.
According the Contra Costa Health website, "Everyone 12 and older must show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test to enter restaurants, gyms and other indoor businesses where there's an increased risk of spreading."
California has one of the highest rates of vaccination among the United States. The state has administered at least one vaccine dose to 70% of the eligible residents, according to USAfacts.org. The national average for one dose of the vaccine is currently 65%.
The Contra Costa County Health Department’s website indicates the amount of residents with one dose is nearly 86%, almost 20% higher than some figures reflecting the national average.
Over the past two weeks, cases in Contra Costa County dropped 38%. Deaths in that county are also down 18%. All signs point to a positive trend.
However, it's unclear if these increased measures will help the economic recovery in the Bay Area, or create more confusion and hesitancy for those who wish to support their local businesses.
California currently has the second largest percentage of unemployed citizens in the country and more than 160,000 of the 550,000 homeless people in the United States live in the state.
Bay Area business owners have now been forced to become an intermediary between the health system and commerce after the repeated shutdowns, restrictions and current vaccination status checks.
It remains unclear when the current restrictions will be lifted, or if citizens will be able to keep their medical histories private while they shop, dine and seek entertainment in this era of COVID-19.

Isn't that the truth?
Of course, when you read author Derek Keller's bio, it's understandable that he would write this. I'm not sure if his LinkedIn profile is pubic, so you may not be able to read about Derek Keller. Here are some highlights:
• Broadcast Director at KTVU Television Fox 2
• Stage Manager at KTVU
• Critical Response Team/Pay Team Associate, Lyft
• Producer/Host, KPOO FM RADIO, 89.5 FM
• Producer/Creative Advisor, Makeshift Collective
• Diploma, Film Production, Vancouver Film School
He's working for a living which is great, but his background really doesn't equip him to propound on economics.
Good one!

Because this will also inhibit the ability of the Port of Oakland to offload backed-up cargo ships, it will exacerbate the supply chain crisis being felt nationwide.
