May 17, 2020 11:14 AMCrystal, let people make their own decisions. As you said, these are "guidelines, many of which have changed and are useless. If citizens want to support that business they are free to do so. Why would we let the CDC, Fauci, Angsorm, and other non-elected "officials" to make laws up for us? We have enough of that already from Newsom and our city council? Stay home and wear a mask if that's want you want to do and have your supplies delivered. It's a dangerous world and there are risks out there so, people like you are free to "stay home and stay safe", otherwise you might get cooties.

May 17, 2020 11:53 AMRight on @11:14. Un-elected officials are making blanket rules for the state and nation to follow while our governor takes broad powers well beyond the authority granted to him in the constitution. How many lives and livelihoods need to be destroyed before we say enough is enough!?

May 17, 2020 12:37 PMCrystalandmuai, California has 29 codes that result in more than 30,000 laws. About 18,000 of those were passed during Brown's terms alone. Newsom is close to adding 1000 since then. In fact, we have almost double the laws of the next blue state, New York. How many do you think you break in the course of the day? I have heard the average citizen breaks three federal laws a day alone, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's 10 here. The CDC doesn't make laws, and many of the laws in California directly violate Federal law and the Constitution. Please let people get on with their lives and we desperately need herd immunity to do that.

May 17, 2020 06:27 PMWell my car saids it will go to a speed of 140, with all this analyzation , then 65 is only a recommendation not a law. Or a safer speed. So everyone should just do what they want. Cause their intitled.
Hey I don’t want to get this, but I need to go to the store. So keep me safe.
And I will keep you safe. Stop being selfish

May 17, 2020 08:37 PMI can appreciate your concern, but maybe you should do your food, etc. shopping in the city of Santa Barbara where masks are required in the stores? (And, fwiw, 65 is the state law for max. speed except where it is posted differently.)

May 17, 2020 08:48 PMCrystal... you don't NEED to go to the store. There are plenty of available delivery services to get you what you need. How selfish are you to force other people to stay home, to close their businesses, loose their jobs so you feel safer going to the store when you don't HAVE TO go to the store. STAY HOME, stay as SAFE as YOU feel you need to, and get anything you wanted delivered. There are plenty of people who'll be desperate for a job delivering food as soon as the unemployment bonus ends.

May 18, 2020 08:44 AMYou obviously have your own agenda, I did not say you have to close your business, I said keep people safe, have your costumers wear a mask, and limit how many Are in your store at one time. Obviously that’s to much for you.
Look Mr. Selfish, you can’t guarantee how this virus will affect people. So let’s try to be as safe as we can.

May 17, 2020 09:05 PMRegardless I won't shop anywhere that doesn't require masks and distancing while shopping. Most people I know - regardless of "sides" - feels this way so let the market decide. They either lose customers and business or they don't. Chances are they'll lose many customers. So let them decide.

May 17, 2020 09:47 PMWe all understand that some people are physically or economically unable to comply with Guidelines. They are directed at people who could cooperate but may be too selfish or stupid to care about others. It's sad and shameful there are so many of them in the world. (And I don't mean guidelines.)

May 17, 2020 10:26 PMGary M, you don't understand. For all the damage we're doing to the economy, combined with the historic level of government stimulus - which has to be paid for by all of us through taxes - we would be way better off, and I'm talking orders of magnitude better off, if we set up a government paid free meals, covid-safe food distribution system so those with lesser means and/or at higher risk, medium risk, I don't care risk, or just plain don't want to get sick risk can stay in their home with free internet and meals delivered. Everyone else WHO CHOOSES, can go back about their lives. Why is you don't see the difference where one point of view gives everyone a choice, the other point of view forces a choice on everyone?

May 18, 2020 12:11 AMSam, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. You and your pack of rabid canines can roam freely after you sign an agreement stating that A) if you infect anyone you will be financially responsible ($100k for trimming 10-13 years off their life) or B) if said infection leads to death you will be charged with murder. You are that confident in yourself, correct? Sign it and roam free!

May 18, 2020 07:40 AMSAM, if you really need to get to work so bad and get off of the dole - why can't you take a front line position? Are you too proud? Ego in your way? There are actually a lot of job opportunities in town for essential workers. Maybe get off your hide and get out there.

May 18, 2020 09:43 AM@7:40, I have a job. I'm being vocal for others, for my community, because I don't want to see the city I grew up in with all the hard working small businesses I work with, are friends with, or patron completely destroyed.

May 18, 2020 12:50 AMKeep businesses closed. Don't allow tourism. I simply don't want essential workers exposed to people coming from hotspot areas. I don't want anyone exposed to a carrier who then can transmit the disease to others. I don't want to see my friends and family infected with the disease that could kill them or leave them with long-term Health consequences. I don't want to see a family member or friend kill someone close to them. It's best to keep the economy at a halt. We need to pass laws that will protect our poor, cover healthcare, food, rent and the essentials while we figure out a way to retrain people for an economy that will open up in the future. We need to tax the wealthy and corporations that got massive corporate tax brakes we should have never allowed while they low-wage jobs and or offshored decent decent paying jobs. We need to change the entire dynamics of the countrys economy and we can do this if we're smart. Most importantly, we need to get the sycophants following the orange dude in the WH and a few senators with an R out of office. We need people that will follow the law I'm not go after political enemies were turned a blind eye because of fear.

May 18, 2020 01:11 AM@12:50 Not sure what color the sky is in your world, but you cannot halt the economy. Have you not seen the lines of cars waiting to get food across this country? Businesses are closing, people are losing their livelihoods. You cannot halt the economy forever because you are scared. Who do you expect to pay for food, rent, healthcare and the essentials you mentioned so the country can stay at home? Life is hard, there are risks. Those at risk should stay home, those that can work should be allowed to go back to work. The prison is grossly inflating our numbers here. There has not been one instance of our hospitals being over capacity. We have 450,000K people in this county, 11 have died. We are not New York City. We need to get our lives and our city back. And before you start judging, I despise Donald Trump and his corrupt cabinet. Thinking that everyone has the luxury of staying locked up forever is ignorant, impractical and impossible.

May 18, 2020 09:03 AMIts unfortunate the face covering issue has been made political. It’s a proven way to reduce spread of droplets, and thereby reduce disease transmission. Why not open most businesses but require face coverings? The more vulnerable people can wear N95s masks for the best protection, or continue to stay home, get deliveries. Less vulnerable can get back to business, and if we test often we can pull back before spikes get out of hand. Dine-in restaurants, bars, and hair salons may still be a problem, but many businesses could be managed to operate with low risk. But it seems the “open now” crowd has too many “masks are a communist plot” nuts.

May 18, 2020 09:40 AM@ 12:50, you're calling for a revolution and to toss out what quickly made our country the greatest and strongest in the world, and has kept us there for hundreds of years. With how poorly our elected officials have managed this country the past 10-20 years, on both sides of the isle, the ever increasing partisanship with little interest in coming together and doing what's best for all their constituents rather than just the one side or the other, YOUR ANSWER IS TO GIVE THEM MORE POWER OVER OUR LIVES?

May 18, 2020 09:55 AMYou're on track Ahchoo, no one is saying open up recklessly. regarding :But it seems the “open now” crowd has too many “masks are a communist plot” nuts. There is no middle grown for many on here, it's either you're with them and toe the line of what our all knowing Democratic leaders say, or your a AR-15 carrying, camo wearing, MAGA fanatic, it's either one or the other. For a group so adverse to putting labels on people they're great at putting them in one box or the other. We should always be questioning our government and ensuring their actions coincide with our best interest and not their latest power grab. The Democrats historically have been the one to question our government, but now they talk down to those who choose take a common sense approach and speak out when they feel their rights and livelihoods are being threatened not by a virus but by the political response to that virus.

May 18, 2020 11:12 AMAgreed Ahchooo. I actually feel safer wearing a face mask. If we are going to open up and get the economy booming again we MUST do it safely. The communist plot in my book is not giving us a chance to open safely, when we did indeed flatten the curve and are not having any overcrowded hospital issues.
