Restaurants and bars are closed for all but take out (and who does take out from a bar), and personal services like barbers are closed, some may be operating illegally, well I know some are but I think most restaurants anyway are complying, the other stuff probably less so. And more restaurants will no doubt go under. We are neither saving the economy nor the hospital system, but noone is going to loosen restrictions more in the verge of hospitals having no capacity and going to crisis care standards, and they are very near to crisis care standards. Maybe if we had had a full shutdown a bit before thanksgiving at least the medical system would have been saved. Half measures have failed.
Thing is California always had limited hospital capacity per population compared to many states, and all this stuff probably drove state by state decisions on shut downs etc.. Anyway it's failed at this point.
It effects stuff, I suggest to bf to take a hike, a hike is noone's definition of high covid risk, nor really the hiking I do of much risk of anything it's neither backcountry nor extreme nor etc., but bf is like: what if one sprained an ankle, there is no hospital capacity. Well there is no hospital capacity (and urgent care has lines around the block daily - hours waiting). Fine let's sit at home-prison.
