Most of California Going Into Lockdown
December 5th, 2020Via: Los Angeles Times:
A stay-at-home order will go into effect in Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley late Sunday, as COVID-19 cases soar and capacity at hospital intensive care units continues to drop.
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.
Some 33 million Californians will be subject to the new order, representing 84% of the state’s population. They include residents of five Bay Area counties, which have decided to implement the stay-at-home order despite not yet reaching the threshold mandated by the state.
The order will be felt across Southern California but most dramatically in suburban counties like Orange, Ventura and Riverside, which have far less stringent restrictions than Los Angeles County, which imposed a modified stay-at-home order a week ago.

“I think it would be wise to bear in mind that the events of 9/11 will probably pale in comparison to the diabolical plots that may be hatched in the near future. I say that because, even as bad as 9/11 was, it wasn’t enough to polarize the world. Something else is going to happen that will require a bold move by the G8 states. I don’t know what that event will be, but it will be transformational in nature, changing the way we think about freedom of speech and movement, money, surveillance, state sovereignty and many other factors.”
Thank you Kevin
You’re welcome.
Thinking back, I’d assumed that “it” would have happened within a few years of when I wrote that. Definitely took a lot longer than I thought, but they managed to pull off the war on terror and financial crisis fleecings before this one.
I don’t know. Is this “it”? The big BIG one?
I spoke with a family member in California and she thinks most people will do anything, accept anything, to make it stop.
Yep. We could be close…
Thank you for your recent support, and all the support over the years.
