Some restaurants in my area are switching back to direct delivery which I think is pretty cool.

I have a favor to ask. My Senator Feinstein thinks that Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley who spurred the insurrection should be allowed to remain in Congress. She doesnβt move on anything until she hears from 4000 voters. Call 202-224-3121 and demand their removal. Pls RT— ChristineP (@ChristineParini) January 19, 2021

BREAKING: California now has 942,588 backlogged unemployment claims β the sixth-highest total since the state started keeping track back in September. Just a reminder the state vowed to clear the backlog by Jan. 27 β which is now near-impossible. https://t.co/Y9vWj8rVr2— Emily Hoevenπ« (@emily_hoeven) January 21, 2021

California needs to start getting its fucking act together. Newsom hasn't done a press conference all week. Now word is that we rank dead last in vaccine distribution.

"London Breed is stated that all SF residents should be fully vaccinated by end of June."
I know LA county is a lot bigger, but their estimates are that even with their allotments doubling, it will take all of 2021 to vaccinate the county residents. Is Breed basing her goal on an anticipated surge of dosages? (I assume so, but without knowing what counties are basing their estimates on, statements like this are all kind of useless given how out of whack they are with each other)
― akm, Saturday, 23 January 2021 00:50 (three years ago) link
Well, I'm watching the weekly UCSF Zoom town hall on where things stand from their perspective, and the sense there is definitely of a positive uptick on such fronts locally, including the amount of doses, but also the expansion of facilities. UCSF isn't the city or DPH, of course, but even so.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 23 January 2021 00:55 (three years ago) link
@akm: there are 3 mass vaccination sites that are ready to go and they are planning on increasing them given vaccine bandwidth.

of course the elephant in the room (tho maybe not? maybe they are working that piece out sooner rather than later) are the homeless residents of SF
― sarahell, Saturday, 23 January 2021 01:18 (three years ago) link
DPH has definitely been thinking about that; I'd need to check on the details but IIRC this is probably part of their expansion of coverage via the clinics and other teams.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 23 January 2021 01:21 (three years ago) link
yeah, I don't hear Libby Schaaf making bold pronouncements and Oakland might have a higher % of homeless than SF
― sarahell, Saturday, 23 January 2021 01:23 (three years ago) link
Breed also warned that we could run out of vaccine this week. Not sure if that is still the case since they re-approved the Moderna vaccine

This article gives some insight into what is going on:https://calmatters.org/health/coronavirus/2021/01/older-californians-struggling-vaccine/
It seems to me that, as the Trump Admin left details up to the states, California is doling everything out to local health departments and allowing them to set their own criteria, but not following up with info on how many dosages they will be receiving. So some counties changed to 65+, but did so without knowing whether they'd get any more doses. So basically, this is a big fuck up.

Itβs hard for me to read this as anything other than an attempt to defuse momentum in the recall campaign - an action so craven that it actually does support a case for his recall. https://t.co/T8Occdmxok— Scott Frazier (@safrazie) January 25, 2021

this isn't lifting the lockdown, it's just rolling things back to where they were around Thanksgiving.
― akm, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 19:47 (three years ago) link
The most intriguing part about the rollback in SF was that it was announced the day after the deadliest COVID day to date (15 deaths). I am aware that local ICU capacity has seen some relief but the fact that deaths are spiking to all-time peaks and London Breed is like "Reopening sounds good to me!" is an extreme disconnect.

At least the weather will help with the record numbers of cremations that forced state legislators to announce a reprieve on the "Spare The Air" program.

no one has ever defined 'lockdown'. Schools are (mostly) still closed, indoor dining is still prohibited, bars aren't open, venues aren't open, most workplace offices are not open, and there are capacity limits on most indoor places still. For most people, that is still 'lockdown'
― akm, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 20:21 (three years ago) link
compare to south dakota where almost none of those things are happening or have happened
Iβll call it a lockdown when they close indoor shopping malls.And if the bar is βtaking it more seriously than South Dakotaβ then I donβt know what to say.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Tuesday, 26 January 2021 20:35 (three years ago) link
point taken, my point was simply that there are certainly places in the US where there has been little to no restrictions. California is not one of those places. There are many restrictions. I'm sure there could be more but it's silly to say there are none.
― akm, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 20:55 (three years ago) link
and people are taking the rollback to Thanksgiving level restrictions are acting as though Newsom lifted all restrictions and flipping out (or celebrating). He did not.

You know, like many SF ilxors I was a Gonzalez voter. Newsom has never been a details guy, and details are needed here.
But you know, this recall is more than bullshit.
Here's one thing in Newsom's corner: with Big Tech booming, so are CA state coffers. In an economy that's crushing many states, CA is flush. Newsom deserves no credit for this of course, but I bet it helps.
