Two San Diego strip clubs can remain open and make their own determinations about providing a safe environment for dancers and patrons during the pandemic, a judge ruled Wednesday. The decision dealt a setback to Gov. Gavin Newsom's health order that calls for such establishments to be shuttered.
The scope of San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel Wohlfeil's preliminary injunction appeared to extend far beyond the two clubs that sued the state to potentially all of the thousands of restaurants in San Diego County, the state's second-largest county after Los Angeles. On Wednesday night, Supervisor Jim Desmond tweeted that the judge "has directed the county to allow businesses with resturant services to operate their business safely and responsibly."
Judge Wohlfiel said it applies to "San Diego County businesses with restaurant services," including the strip clubs, and that it exempts them from shutdowns and "any related orders" that bar live adult entertainment and go beyond protocols "that are no greater than essential" to controlling the spread of COVID-19.
The judge noted that Pacers International Showgirls and Cheetahs Gentlemen's Club operated for five weeks during the pandemic under their own safety measures, which included keeping strippers 15 feet from tables, allowing no more than one stripper per stage and requiring them and other employees to wear masks.
Michael Workman, a spokesman for San Diego County, said county attorneys were meeting "to decipher the ruling and determine what's next. Stay tuned." County supervisors last week vowed to appeal any extension of the exemption for strip clubs, which the judge initially granted last month.

I’m picturing the “big reveal” at a strip club. She slowly removes the mask. . .
where are they putting the masks, lol.
Let the ladies dance!
Korean guy walking in.
I wonder if any of the “ladies” dancing at this club have adopted the stage name COVID
Churches, legitimate businesses closed. Strip clubs open.
Funny, but too close to the truth!! One can in this dystopian reality easily imagine that porn might soon consist of videos capturing human beings interacting normally. And one can likewise imagine the totalitarians now trying to take control attacking/censoring it as being damaging to society by encouraging “unsafe” behavior. (Now, after having typed that, it does seem entirely possible...)
Judge Wohlfiel must be in the VIP Club.
OK, can we all set our own Covid rules? Old people stay home, others were mask when you’re around old people, everyone else decide on your own whether to wear or not. Worry about yourself first, let others worry about them selves. As the old saying goes, we’re not our brothers keeper.
Hey, give him a break! He didn’t want Hunter Biden to have nowhere to spend Christmas.
Covid is great for butterface strippers.
Now any restaurant can simply put a pole in the corner and have some bikini-clad young thing writhing around it and they can stay open!
Bat Flu is probably your least disease concern if you get too close to those “ladies.”
This order potentially extends to all restaurants in that county, and IIRC, the state is forbidden by another judicial ruling to submit churches and religious gatherings to stricter laws than those that apply to commercial businesses.
Essentially, this could overturn most of the restrictions in that county, which is fighting back. But they’ve gotta go for it and take advantage of this order quickly before Newsom finds some way around it.
I guess our God is a patient God.
In the words of the great American theologian Jonathan Edwards:
There is no want of power in God to cast wicked men into hell at any moment. Men’s hands cannot be strong when God rises up. The strongest have no power to resist him, nor can any deliver out of his hands.—He is not only able to cast wicked men into hell, but he can most easily do it. — Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God
At least the Judge’s VIP card is still valid
Strip clubs? They still have those? I thought that webcams had eliminated them. I’m guessing they mostly have.
That deserves a thumbs up. lol

Maybe she would remove her mask in the “VIP” dance area? Or the club would make both customer and dancer keep the masks on during that “VIP” dance...
Those strippers cannot make a living just depending on dollar bills from customers...Not enough...They have to do the “VIP” dances...
