I hope the Vilnius idea catches on. Most of us would have always been proponents for more street space to be used by pedestrians/businesses. Once people had a taste of a summer full of patios like that, they would be pushing for them every year.

The people pushing for full reopening are either ignorant of the facts or disingenuous about the risks they are personally willing to take. |

I also know four people who showed symptoms of the coronavirus at different times in February. There obviously was no testing then, and there was no idea it was even in the US, and thus all four continued to go into work. One still has lung problems stemming from the mystery sickness in February. I also had something in February that completely sucked the energy out of me. |

Personally I’ll take a few days in bed chugging Emergen-C and ibuprofen, if it even comes to that, over the other option. That is if I haven’t had it already. |
Well I don't live in a city so things are a little different, and right now we are in phase two reopening. The county is working with the Governor to get things into phase three, as they are following the guidance provided by the Governor's office instead of violating his orders.

I don't get it -- none of those measures will make the virus go away. As long as somebody on this planet has it, it's as contagious as it is, and there are no vaccines, we're going to deal with a constant risk of infection and unfortunately, fatalities. All we're doing at this point is prolonging the inevitable. The best we can do is mandate covered faces, wash our hands consistently, live as healthily as possible, reduce our social interactions, stay away from our elders, but try to live our lives. Require elders or immunocompromised to stay home, but allow restaurants/cafes to operate at reduced capacity etc. We need to accept this as our new normal. The current approach is way, way overboard. |

Woo hoo! Some Pasadena car washes have reopened! I'm hoping Pasadena Hand Wash is one of them---I only take my car to hand wash places. The ones with the automated rotating brushes are too rough on your car's finish.

It’s either 2 years of at least “social distancing”, which would be horrible, or we allow the virus to spread through the population and create immunity. You do this while limiting the burden on the healthcare system by reducing the number of people requiring hospitalisation, especially intensive care. And you do that by telling those more likely to be vulnerable (old people, the immune-compromised people and probably the obese) to stay away from public places for the sake of their own health. Others will get Covid, but symptoms (if any) are likely to be mild enough that they just rest at home and get over it. I want no part of “relaxed” restrictions if that means 4 tables spaced 8 feet apart in a restaurant that usually seats 30, no bars or pubs, cultural institutions closing (potentially for good), no gym, no face to face meetings (which are necessary for my business to actually earn revenue), and no travel. |
