Proof Of COVID-19 Vaccination Or Negative Test Within 72 Hours Now Required To Enter Restaurants, Bars, Entertainment Venues, Gyms In Contra Costa County

by CLAYCORD.com
219 comments

Contra Costa County issued a countywide health order today that will now require you to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of entering a restaurant, gym and other indoor businesses.

The new order is effective September 22.

The new order applies to businesses where people remove face coverings to eat or drink indoors, such as restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, and to gyms and other indoor fitness facilities, including yoga and dance studios, where patrons breathe more heavily due to exercise.

The order also includes a requirement for workers in indoor areas of these businesses to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 by November 1 or test weekly for COVID-19.

To show proof of vaccination, patrons must show photo ID and their vaccination record cards from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), or copies or pictures of their cards. Documentation from healthcare providers will also be accepted, as will digital COVID-19 vaccine records issued by the State of California.

Good.
95.9% of the Covid deaths in this County have been from the unvaccinated.

Cyn September 14, 2021 - 1:31 PM - 1:31 PM

No, Law & Order, there is nothing good about this. Absolutely nothing!

Ricardoh September 14, 2021 - 1:38 PM - 1:38 PM

Sounds like you or the county don’t trust vaccinations. Maybe you worry an unvaccinated will infect another unvaccinated.

Lawless Order September 14, 2021 - 1:45 PM - 1:45 PM

You’re right, they might die so screw them.

Freeman September 14, 2021 - 1:46 PM - 1:46 PM

Since Jan 1st when nobody was vaccinated. What do you guess the number is for the month of August only?

Annoyed September 14, 2021 - 2:35 PM - 2:35 PM

@Freeman – Would be nice if the County released the numbers like you said. Doing some basic math based on what that number was a couple months ago, about 20 of the 83 deaths in July and August were vaccinated individuals.

Pat September 14, 2021 - 3:51 PM - 3:51 PM

Not the sharpest tool in the shed now are ya 😉

Janus September 14, 2021 - 4:16 PM - 4:16 PM

Well I see absolutely no reason why identification should not be required for voting.

If I have to produce ID from something as mundane as going to the gym I should be able to produce it for something as important as voting.

In fact, why not a National Identification Card so all of our movements can be tracked for public safety sake? How will be know if someone from a high Covid infected county or state come into Contra Costa County without active movement tracking?

I’m sure Law and Order that since you are soooo concerned for health of adults that you must equally concerned for the health of unborn children.

Since vaccines are apparently not affective since we have documented vaccine failures with breakthrough cases, I don’t think restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, gyms In Contra Costa County should accept anything but a negative covid-19 test for entry. I mean we must be safe right Law and Order? It shouldn’t be a big deal? Right?

Captain Bebops September 14, 2021 - 4:24 PM - 4:24 PM

&Law & Order, perhaps because most of those deaths occurred before the vaccine was even available. BTW, I would bet many were exposed and got the virus over the last year and it didn’t do anything or enough to go in for testing. And if that were the case then they may have herd immunity and no vaccine required.

SA September 14, 2021 - 4:48 PM - 4:48 PM

Law and Order,
I can see a Covid virus hovering next to you, trying to put its giant spike in your mouth. I hope you get ALL the booster shots in the world. It will not be nuclear weapons that will wipe out humanity after all, but cowardly, pathetic degenerates that will happily hop to their own slaughter.

I’m fully vaccinated (my choice) but will not support this continued overreach by elected officials, not to mention unelected ones.

How many more businesses are you trying to put under?

Jennifer Cote September 14, 2021 - 1:51 PM - 1:51 PM

Yup

jeff September 14, 2021 - 2:13 PM - 2:13 PM

I am vaccinated but will not support this either.

Guess I aint going to any of those places again.

Wage Slave September 14, 2021 - 4:19 PM - 4:19 PM

Me as well. I’m sorry the businesses will have to bear the cost of this facism, but I’m not going to willingly participate in it. Maybe if they hurt, their voiced will be heard where ours aren’t.

I can’t wait to move away from this state. What so many of you accept, from mostly unelected bureaucrats blows my mind. California is post America.

pessimisticallyoptimistic September 14, 2021 - 4:24 PM - 4:24 PM

@parent seems silly to punish small business because of this. They aren’t choosing this.

parent September 14, 2021 - 4:42 PM - 4:42 PM

So Pessimistically …

How do I help them? If I go to them, they need to see private medical information. They have no right to see my personal medical information.

I will support any that have take out … and can deliver the take out to me.

Cyn September 14, 2021 - 7:05 PM - 7:05 PM

@pessimisticallyoptimistic
This is not about small businesses. And I and my family will not partake in this either.

LocalMom September 15, 2021 - 12:32 PM - 12:32 PM

I also will not be participating, or support any business that asks to see my vaccination ID. This is so wrong! I’m baffled it has gotten any support at all. This is America!!! Land of the free???

Always Right September 14, 2021 - 1:26 PM - 1:26 PM

This is punitive and completely unnecessary. The infection rate in our county peaked on mid August and continues to drop, yet these unelected dictators decide to force major expenses on businesses just because their comrades in San Francisco and Berkley are doing it.

Jennifer Cote September 14, 2021 - 1:51 PM - 1:51 PM

I agree with Jay, you have made a really DUMB comment.

Law & Order September 14, 2021 - 1:32 PM - 1:32 PM

Shouldnt be that big of a deal for the majority of residents.

70.46% of people in Contra Costa County have already been fully vaccinated.
75.53 % have had at least one dose.

Cyn September 14, 2021 - 1:48 PM - 1:48 PM

O.k., Law & Order……..write down your full name, address, and your driver’s license/identification number. No big deal for all of Claycord to see, right?

After you do this, I’ll let you know what you’ll need to do next.

Kylie M September 14, 2021 - 4:45 PM - 4:45 PM

@Cyn – that’s a wild thing to say, right? You’re trying to compare putting private information on a never-deleted internet for all to see versus a person’s name and what type/date/location of the vaccine they took being showed to one single person at a restaurant or other location.

You’re trying too hard to make a point that doesn’t exist. Maybe dial it back and try again?

tony September 14, 2021 - 4:59 PM - 4:59 PM

@ Kylie

You do realize that fake cards will be next. Then they’ll “miraculously” have a solution for that with a digital vaccine verification system. Which already has been in development and ready to be rolled out. Next thing will be city infrastructure to ensure ‘public health’ and include updates to cameras to measure social distancing. City of Walnut Creek police was already training their drones and robotics. Look around the world. Some cities and countries are already using AI based robotics to remind people of social distancing in public spaces. Your ignorance is gonna be our demise if we don’t hold the line and stop this nonsense.

One is too many September 14, 2021 - 5:41 PM - 5:41 PM

Do you think a 30% drop in customer base for restaurants is that big of a deal? Have you driven through our cities? Restaurants are boarded up throughout!

Cyn September 14, 2021 - 7:25 PM - 7:25 PM

@Kylie M
So you think I’m trying too hard to make a point that doesn’t exist? Like the one you just made about putting private information on a never-deleted internet? Well, what do you think your medical records are? They surely couldn’t be private information now, could they? Private medical records looked at by only one single person, according to you. That must be a neat trick….you know…..how that one single person can work at all the bars/restaurants/gyms. Maybe dial it back, you say? Are you kidding me? Maybe you should wake up.

From the cchealth website:

… everyone 12 and older must show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test to enter restaurants, gyms and other indoor businesses where there’s an increased risk of spreading COVID-19, effective Sept. 22.

El D September 14, 2021 - 2:03 PM - 2:03 PM

Savagette September 14, 2021 - 6:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Interesting they would require this for children 15 and under when full approval for Pfizer is for ages 16 and up. Ages 12-15 are still under the EUA.

martinezdad September 14, 2021 - 1:41 PM - 1:41 PM

So don’t forget your covid card or phone or you may be excluded from society. That seems reasonable. Nothing like the inconvenience of being carded at every indoor location I go to everyday. I suppose that is around the corner

Wage Slave September 14, 2021 - 4:22 PM - 4:22 PM

And when those cards get lost or stolen, where does one go to get another? Whoops, you just lost your rights, sorry!

Kylie M September 14, 2021 - 4:49 PM - 4:49 PM

Oh you guys .. you’re too funny! I didn’t know you traveled anywhere without your state-appointed IDs (driver’s license/state ID card). If you don’t have those on you, there are repercussions like being denied entry into a club, a bar, having an alcoholic drink or even, gasp, driving your car legally. How are THOSE “rights” treatin’ ya?

(sidenote – your legal rights don’t include being allowed to drink alcohol, go to a club or eat at a restaurant – but we’ll ignore that teeny tiny fact and continue on, right?)

Society will crumble if you don’t have your vaccination card on you – or even a picture of it on your phone (as outlined already). You don’t carry your phone with you when you go out .. AND you don’t carry your state ID?

I guess we’re just glancing over basic facts here, aren’t we. A slight bit dramatic I’d say. *shrug*

Wage Slave September 14, 2021 - 5:58 PM - 5:58 PM

Kylie,

All of those procedures were passed by legislatures, debated in public, and signed into law. This was all pulled out of the *ss of unelected health officers. Just like the CDC somehow discovered the power to stop landlords from evicting deadbeat tenants, despite being blatantly unconstitutional.

People I’ve never seen, met, and have no choice in, have created a barrier to participating in previously mundane rights without so much as a public comment period. That is facistic, and you are a boot licker if you approve of it.

Anonymous September 14, 2021 - 1:42 PM - 1:42 PM

So in order to dine out with children as a family we have to all get tested days in advance? Not fair to the ones that cannot get vaccinated. I’m all for vaccines but not sure this should be mandated

MikeyV September 14, 2021 - 1:44 PM - 1:44 PM

Announced on the day the recall ends. Interesting. Wait till tomorrow.

I have a legit vaccine card and I will not be patronizing ANY establishments that ask for it.

No restaurants, gyms, concerts, bars. Nothing. I’m out.

Dr Jellyfinger September 14, 2021 - 2:16 PM - 2:16 PM

Do you think anyone is actually going to examine your card?
They will see it and ignore it… just going thru the motions…
Let the baby have it’s bottle.

Rolaids September 14, 2021 - 3:29 PM - 3:29 PM

@Fingerjelly. Nailed it. The vax cards aren’t carefully made to be forgery resistant, and the poor fast food workers aren’t cops trained in spotting forgeries. I have a card, can barely remember what it looks like. The level of scrutiny given to these cards will be about the same as MPs checking IDs before letting people drive delivery trucks onto military bases pre-911, but curiously, also post-Oklahoma City. Meaning, wave your ID or free sandwich card or Costco card like you know what you’re doing, and they’ll wave you in like THEY know what they’re doing. It was the little dance we did. Was I not supposed to say that? I think enough time has passed. 911 changed everything. Military security used to be an oxymoron.

Anon September 14, 2021 - 1:46 PM - 1:46 PM

You People refused to stand up or even listen…..and now here it is. You are no different than those in Germany under Hitler……what would you have done back then – ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

You allowed the to use a bogus PCR test to pull this off. Tell us All who the inventor is of the PCR and what he said about it….

Law & Order September 14, 2021 - 2:19 PM - 2:19 PM

You’re terribly mistaken about what PCR means or is.
Kary Mullis invented the process. And he died in August 2019 long before Covid began to spread in December 2019.

PCR is a PROCESS.
Not a test.

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a process in which bits of genetic information are AMPLIFIED.

The lab doing the testing for SARS-CoV-2 adds a very specific substance to the sample, and if the sample contains SARS-CoV-2, this substance triggers a chain reaction that creates ENOUGH COPIES of the genetic material so that it can be detected through analysis!

I wonder if Concordian has family that died fighting against Hitler in WWII. If so, this argument might be a stalemate.

Mitchoffsmask September 14, 2021 - 3:10 PM - 3:10 PM

This comment is mostly to fed up. Since you have or had family living under Nazi reign, you would know, and I think it’s obvious anyway, that it did not start with the death camps. It started with very mild measures against Jewish people. Almost inconveniences. By the end, the nazi’s had 90% support from the German people. What I find incredibly offensive is someone who had family during that period, could possibly support anything like this at all. The vaccine card is a very similar thing as the yellow star. And you’re right, currently, it would be offensive to say this is like the Holocaust. But if there was something like the Holocaust back then to compare the small restrictions to put on the Jews, I would imagine people would have said they’re crazy. That won’t happen here/again.

Lastly, have you considered this simple question: what if you’re wrong? I have and do all the time.

This is the fairest approach. Businesses will remain open, providing access to goods and services to the majority of people who have been vaccinated. Individuals still have the freedom to choose between vax or no vax, understanding and accepting with maturity that either choice will have its own consequences.

BrbnLvr September 14, 2021 - 2:11 PM - 2:11 PM

… and the unvaccinated also have the option of providing a negative test result within 3 days prior in lieu of vaccination.

If they dont want to be vaccinated they simply have to show that they’ve been tested. It’s their choice.

I’d rather just not go out to eat than put up with this (and I AM vaccinated). I see this as hurting businesses.

Jeff September 14, 2021 - 3:54 PM - 3:54 PM

Your vax doesn’t reduce the rate of transmission nor infection, is in clinical trials per the manufacturer until 2023, with NO LIABILITY from the manufacturer and effectively none from the government, and has a growing list of serious adverse events that weren’t even initially known until people started getting hurt by it. Coercion of medical experimentation is unlawful per CA law 24170, 24171, 24172 (j), and federal laws.

I can’t wait until the order is updated to mandate booster shots or to only count mRNA vaccines, making my J&J shot worthless. This will cause more small businesses to close down permanently.

MM September 14, 2021 - 4:21 PM - 4:21 PM

Tyrannical. Also since vaccinated folks CAN still contract and transmit COVID then they should get tested and submit their results.

John Doe September 14, 2021 - 2:22 PM - 2:22 PM

Regardless of which side you are on as far as vaccine safety and effectiveness, this isn’t something that is a good thing. These are some reasons that I thought of off the top of my head

Business:
The small businesses don’t have the capital to withstand a loss of 25% of their patrons (going off the number of 75% vaccinated individuals; excluding the possibility.. which will likely happen, that fake cards will be used). This allows for the larger businesses to gain a greater hold on the area through an economic natural selection (in a way).

COVID;
This may lead to a riot or protests, which, if you believe in COVID, would lead to a resurgence possibly. It will also slow down the daily life and goings on in the area. If you don’t believe in covid, then this section won’t really matter but still worth mentioning.

MENTAL HEALTH;
I for one can attest to the toll this isolation has had on my own mental state. I am not trying to make an emotional appeal here, just mentioning it for firsthand credibility. This will cause more disparity among indiviudals and likely bring about serious depression or at least some anxiety brought upon by having to worry about if you left your card at home, or if you are unvaccinated, you are now isolated and YOUR BODY ISNT YOUR CHOICE ANYMORE.

POLITICAL;
I don’t want to beat a dead horse by mentioning how this is a slipper slope (which I know is a fallacy), but I think it is worth mentioning that this allows for easier record keeping of where you are, and now that this has happened, we will see potential use of it down the line when it comes to justifying other more invasive, unforseen government acts. Just as we often reference historical events, this could be used in a similar fashion to justify a hypothetical action down the road.

SECURITY;
Whoever is checking people for these cards will not have access to your DL# and other things on your License. This would be totally unlikely, but it could happen that someone steals this info cause they are sick of their job and want to make some money on the side…

DISCLAIMER;
I know I mispelled some things, and didn’t use perfect grammar, or punctuation, but an attack on that just shows one can’t manifest good points for a real argument against some of the things I’m saying. I also recognize, I may be shortsighted in a lot of this, but these are just some of thoughts. I feel this is an invasion of privacy and I know we’ve had others in the past, but past actions don’t necessarily justify current ones. This applies to both sides, this isn’t Nazi Germany, but it also isn’t a very free setup anymore either and I am not a fan of the direction we are heading.

Patriot September 14, 2021 - 3:28 PM - 3:28 PM

You forgot one more – REAL ESTATE

This is just one more item on the long list of things that make California toxic. If Gavin survives the recall election and the draconian BS continues, the exodus California has seen so far will be nothing compared to what it will be.

People who have not taken the jab by now will never be taking it. If you can’t go out to restaurants or the public places without being vaccinated it isn’t worth living there. Add to that so many people getting fired for not taking the jab in healthcare and in other industries, once you lose your job there’s A huge window of opportunity to move out of the state.

I love how Gavin said don’t make California like Texas. I guess he doesn’t know that people like Texas better than California now which is why they’re moving there. Incredible

BORbeliever September 14, 2021 - 2:33 PM - 2:33 PM

So minorities would be discriminated against if we require voter ID, but it’s ok to require photo ID and proof of vaccination? How will minorities ever get over that hurdle? Per the ACLU, “Minority voters disproportionately lack ID. Nationally, up to 25% of African-American citizens of voting age lack government-issued photo ID, compared to only 8% of whites.”

Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Also, what about USPS workers who are exempt from the vaccination mandate? Are they also exempt from this requirement?

This is asinine, but then the Dems are in charge, so there you go.

JD September 14, 2021 - 3:04 PM - 3:04 PM

How do we eject all those involved in this illegal, unconstitutional, blatant attack on US citizens? Mandatory medical procedures (with full knowledge that mutations will render the false “vaccine benefits” useless in less than a year–before the test trial period is over) for something less dangerous than the flu. How do we go about educating people against the fear tactics employed to make this appear to be a pandemic? Everyone with any authority that either supports or initiated this farcical tyranny needs to be immediately removed from their position, and, in fairness, should also be facing jail sentences.

pessimisticallyoptimistic September 14, 2021 - 5:18 PM - 5:18 PM

my goodness. so much inaccuracy in this it’s hard to know where to start.

1) vaccine mandates are NOT new in the U.S. and they have gone to the supreme court where we have establish precedent that they are in fact constitutional

2) not less dangerous than the flu

3) the whole point of the mandate is to get to herd immunity to prevent the mutations from happening so we can finally get out of this nightmare. if everyone just did the right thing and got vaccinated we wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with

Savagette September 14, 2021 - 6:39 PM - 6:39 PM

Totally understand that, but my actual reaction, not just my rhetorical reaction, will be the opposite. I will spend more, just like I did at the beginning of the pandemic. I won’t just dip into random restaurants, because it won’t be “fun” anymore with this new rule. What I WILL do, is make a point of getting around to, and tipping GENEROUSLY, the independently operated eateries that are near and dear to me, the ones I would hate to see close up shop. I am lucky in that my employment is very secure. I feel it is incumbent on me to share the wealth a little bit with favored businesses that operate a little more precariously until we get through this.

Logistically, how will this work?
1. What 12 year old carries photo id?
2. The patrons are required to be vaccinated or have a negative test, but the small mom/pop establishment can have unvaccinated people working there. ummm …

Enforcement: Just for kicks, how in the world will you enforce this? Are you going to have guards at all these places? Are you going to have brown shirts running around double checking people? What are the fines associated with the latest health order?

As for the health order, why are we required to follow it? When did Contra Costa County declare the state of emergency?

I believe we have a moral responsibility to allow people to make their own choices when it comes to medical decisions. Are we going to force Jehovah Witnesses to get blood transfusions if they have a transmittable disease in their blood? Where does it stop?

As for my offspring, they are more educated at their young age then you ever will be based on your comments here.

Years ago a car insurance company advertised some sort of driving tracking device that customers could use to track their driving habits and the better they drove they were offered discounts. That tracking device was never allowed here in the State because politicians deemed it to be a violation of customers’ privacy yet here we are having our privacy being violated by these types of mandates that politicians are picking and choosing. This decision will force many businesses to close their doors for good and for others to leave the area.

What may and should happen as it in many cities in the US and across the world where this mandate has been tried is that the everyone vaccinated or not just kept eating at the seating outdoors in protest of such a mandate while at the same time the dining rooms remained empty.

I don’t think these would-be “hall monitors” will enact a fine that no one will be interested in enforcing.

Enough is enough. Push back hard people!

How is it a free country when we are being FORCED to take something that we might not believe in? I have had one shot of the two shot vaccination … I did not get the second shot. So really I can appreciate both sides. However, our freedoms are definitely being taken away right from under our noses.

Don’t worry they will make sure that those who choose not to vax will be treated like second class citizens who hate their mothers. You will be ostersised and eventually marked so others will avoid you. All this but they still cannot answer “how does a non-vax’d person pose a threat to you if you are vax’d, if the vax works?”

antlers006 September 14, 2021 - 4:45 PM - 4:45 PM

Do you think all these places will fully enforce it. Make some money or close down. What’s the fine going to be if you get caught not checking. Who are the covid police going to be and who is paying them. So the non vaccinated people have one week to get two shots or they can’t work or go out to dinner. Might want to change the date on that order. I see some lawsuits coming. Would you turn in a business if they didn’t card you. Next up drivers licenses to be marked with the vax stamp. That way ca can get some more money from everyone one again after we already had to get the real l I d. DMV backed up again.

How come it was okay for Newsom to dine at the French Laundry without a mask on when it was his mandatory requirement to wear them?

How come Newsom’s former Auntie, Nancy Pelosi was at a hair salon, which were mandated to be closed getting her hair done without a mask?

Liar! Liar! September 14, 2021 - 7:02 PM - 7:02 PM

Pfizer bragged about being part of Operation Warp Speed, but Law & Order has never let the truth get in the way of their agenda.

BORbeliever September 14, 2021 - 7:34 PM - 7:34 PM

@Law & Order,

Wrong.

Per CNN…

“t’s true that Pfizer, unlike some other pharmaceutical companies, did not accept federal money for research into a coronavirus vaccine. Pfizer, unlike these competitors, is not getting payments up front even before proving its effort has been successful.

However, the Trump administration agreed in July to buy at least $1.95 billion worth of a Pfizer vaccine, at least 100 million doses, if Pfizer does get a vaccine authorized by the Food and Drug Administration.

Three experts told CNN that this purchase promise may have played an important role in expediting Pfizer’s vaccine development process. So after Pfizer’s initial claim to the New York Times that it has never been part of Operation Warp Speed, CNN asked the company if there was any more nuance to the situation.

In response, Pfizer spokesperson Sharon Castillo provided a statement that said the company is indeed part of Operation Warp Speed.

Everyone who thinks this is ok, I did as well. Until I realized this is not about safety. It’s about further restricting our rights. Think about it. What if the government made these restrictions right after people were given time to get the vaccine. Most people would have flipped out. I’m vaccinated and I think most people should get vaccinated. It’s not even about this particular restriction.It’s that the restrictions keep coming and coming. We get use to one and they add another. Just wait until they start taking children from the unvaccinated. If you think that sounds ridiculous, so did I, until I read this. Just wait more like this is coming. Maybe it’s a one off.

Here we are again in the largest case of mass hysteria we will ever see in our lifetime. It is funny that we have to have a vaccine now to work, eat, play but I was never asked at anytime here if I was vaccinated for MMD, smallpox, TB or all the others we have to have to attend public school (for us that were born here). I guess I would like to know if the people I am working with have things like AIDS, Herpes, HPV or any litany of others that may cause me harm. “IT IS NOT MY BUSINESS TO KNOW YOUR LIFE” I am protected so it does not matter to me if they are vaccinated or not (of course some exceptions AIDS….bla-bla-bla..). This is what vaccines are for. Do not be afraid for others, pay attention to your own life. You do not own someone else as you do not want someone to own you. This is overreach (Law and order will chime in here). I would recommend “of course only my opinion” if an establishment refuses or even asked for your personal information politely let them know that you will not do business with them as it is none of their business of your personal information. I know this will cause some hardship and may strain some relationships but this will push back against the order and then we will see who is for the people (by the people) and who is the tyrant that needs to be scrutinized.

Schools 100% request those documents. My mom works at an elementary school as a health clerk and that is huge part of her job. They absolutely do require it and they require you to present proof.

Sexually transmitted diseases are not even remotely the same as respiratory disease that you can give to anyone you interact with. And actually it is illegal if you know you have a sexual disease and do not disclose that to your sexual partner.

And from the perspective of a public health official they have to look at the community as a whole. The entire point of vaccination is to reach community level herd immunity, which prevents rapid viral evolution (i.e. variants), prevents health care from overloading, and protects vaccinated immunocompromised people, etc. etc. If we dont approach this from the community level we’re never going to escape this mess. At least not without a LOT of death and suffering.

Just wait until the election AUDITS come out and they colluded with CHINA to STEAL OUR GOVERNMENT. Just wait till you find out the COVID HOAX was an attack by enemies FROM WITHIN colluding with CHINA.

EMEMY COMBATANTS GO TO GITMO OR ARE HUNG FOR TREASON.

I bet you thought that January 6th was just a “tourist” visit too.

Yolanda September 14, 2021 - 5:54 PM - 5:54 PM

This doesn’t apply to me, as I am vaccinated, but I’m just curious for those who aren’t. Will this new order open up more testing availability? Most testing sites now require appointments or have limited drop-in hours. This could be a potential issue for anyone really wanting to attend a concert, dinner, etc. who has to get a Covid test 72 hours beforehand. Also, will testing be free for those unvaccinated who want to take part in an indoor activity?

Sally September 14, 2021 - 6:03 PM - 6:03 PM

Contra Costa County is one of the biggest, most corrupt, fraud counties in the nation not to mention one of the richest!! They kept testing sites opened during the holidays with labs closed so the samples tested false positive. Then they would blame the public for spending time with family on why their “numbers” went up. They were inputting 2020 results in May 2021. The whole state was!! The question is where is all the extra money coming from?!?! Pensions Or Payoffs??

CountryGal September 14, 2021 - 6:14 PM - 6:14 PM

We all knew this was coming eventually, regardless of your views.
There’s no mention of natural immunity.
I find it funny that this was released today with the recall election happening tonight.
Almost like they know Newsom will stay in….

I will NOT comply with this tyrannical order.
I’m medically exempt from taking the vaccine and I will NOT take a freaking COVID test to eat at a restaurant.
I’m glad to see a few vaccinated individuals saying they won’t comply either. 👏🏼
The vaccine is a CHOICE and it’s nobody’s business whether one is vaccinated or not!!!

Also, usually when people go out to eat, it’s not planned.
They’re driving and get hungry while being out, they’re tired from work, or they’re traveling and need something to eat.
Taking a COVID-19 test would have to occur weekly in order to prepare for going to these places.

This nonsense needs to stop!!
There aren’t enough people here to stand up to this crap and this is what happens.

Of course we’ll be wearing masks here in CA forever, too.

Good luck to these businesses cause they’ll suffer for this……

Best option is moving the hell outta here, Patriots.

Let Commiefornia sink!!

You cannot be anti-racist, pro human rights, equality and freedom for all, if you’re for medical Tyranny, control and oppression. Way to prop up giant, white, male, billionaires folks!

75% of black Americans are vaccine “hesitant.” After PH D’s and highschoolers, they are in a group that is found to be the least trusting of government. Why? Because what has the government ever done to protect and advocate advocate for minorities of any type? Nothing, and they remember this. As they should so think about this.
With all these pushes for mandates if you’re for that “you don’t deserve to work or eat out if you won’t get vaccinated” narrative you are willingly agreeing that 75% of people of color should be further discriminated against due to their medical choices.

CountryGal September 14, 2021 - 6:31 PM - 6:31 PM

What about if you’re dining outside?
Do you still need to show a vaccine card or negative COVID-19 test?
It doesn’t get cold here so worst case scenario, I’ll choose restaurants with outdoor dining.
Once it starts cooling off from this wretched heat, it’ll be fine eating outside.

Commiefornia will sink.
CA is done.

Patriots, we gotta let it sink and leave this hell hole.

🚢

ThisThat September 14, 2021 - 7:15 PM - 7:15 PM

Yes, I’m wondering about this as well. There are a few restaurants which we enjoy and would like to continue giving them business. It’s not their fault these restrictions.

If we’re asked to eat indoors, then I can see them asking for proof of vaccination. What happens if we chose to eat outdoors? Would we need to disclose vaccination status as well? I would think no, as the restrictions imply “indoor” venues.

I suppose we just take the order to-go.

El D September 15, 2021 - 11:03 AM - 11:03 AM

@CountryGal, No, you do not need to show prod of vaccination or a negative test if you are eating outside. Nor do you need to show proof to go inside to get your take out order.

Captain Bebops September 14, 2021 - 7:14 PM - 7:14 PM

We seem to have a few “agent provocateurs” trying to stir things up. Ignore them, they just want division and worse mandates to come. They’re a bit obvious aren’t they? 🙂

Cellophane September 14, 2021 - 7:22 PM - 7:22 PM

Looking at Covid tests site…

Test results can take three days

Therefore nullifying the 72-hour test mandates.

Captain Bebops September 15, 2021 - 12:07 PM - 12:07 PM

Actually antegen tests have been developed that only take 10 minutes and cost around $1. Problem is they aren’t the “blessed” PCR test which authoritarian government loves in an effort to control everyone.

JWB September 15, 2021 - 1:06 PM - 1:06 PM

Why don’t you simply read the CCC health order? it clearly states?

“COVID-19 Test. “COVID-19 Test” means a nucleic acid or antigen test to detect infection of a person with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.”

You will NOT need a PCR test and takes about 30 minutes for the result of an antigen test. I have been travelling internationally and the same tests are required to re-enter the US.

Worried September 14, 2021 - 7:22 PM - 7:22 PM

How much tyranny are we going to put up with before we all fight back we never should have gone along with the mask mandates or the lockdowns every time you give a little bit of your freedom away you will never get it back and they will continue to take more and more it’s time to stand up and fight back I say no! This is America we have constitutional rights

Dee September 14, 2021 - 7:47 PM - 7:47 PM

THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR A MULTITUDE OF REASONS.
Not all individuals working at restaurants, gyms, … are trustworthy. If you are an woman or male (attractive or not), you must show your lic with your name and address. How many people will be exposing their self to the possibility of rape, identity theft, or worse? As an individual who knows of a woman who was stalked and worse, this action is inherently unsafe. And yes, sometimes one is asked to show id at a bar, but that is generally infrequent and a choice – this is not. I personally know of mechanic that have harassed a woman I know and has made her feel unsafe by his unsolicited advances. And yes sometimes we are required to show id, but generally the individuals who view this info are better screened. The more times you show your id with name and address, the greater the risk. It is why they tell you to protect your information. THIS IS UNSAFE.

Angry American September 14, 2021 - 7:54 PM - 7:54 PM

To pessimisticallyoptimistic
Yes I do understand STD’s are not the end of the world but if you have known anyone that has had aids then you you might change your tune. Pneumonia is how most of these die as with Chemo. Immune suppressed people according to these requirements should be allowed to be aware of anything that could possibly affect them. If you actually look at the law the violation for giving you AIDS has been discounted to a minor crime (misdemeanor) so this is a disease that has killed around 690,000 people and the survivors are subject to conditions That are difficult. On the other hand small pox and TB are not controlled for people not born here. I guess the second hand info from your mom is compelling but the action is the same. I do not want to receive any affliction from others but as I said I protect myself and others should “no matter how”. I do not believe you are informed outside the news on these topics. You should research sites like Johns Hopkins and do the math on this (there are more sites to visit) https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html. Of course you can always find a website to satisfy your fear level.

Pete V. September 15, 2021 - 9:40 AM - 9:40 AM

I have natural immunity from prior infection, which the flood of data coming out—THE SCIENCE—shows natural immunity is stronger and lasts longer than your leaky “vaccine”…so tell me again why I need this rushed gene therapy injected into my body.

The Fearless Spectator September 15, 2021 - 12:05 PM - 12:05 PM

Me too!

Also, I identify as Covid-negative.

Thunderdome September 15, 2021 - 11:42 AM - 11:42 AM

So I was supposed to keep that card?

I’m good with this. People, get used to either getting vaccinated or tested regularly. Don’t wanna? Order take-out. Next.

Derrick September 20, 2021 - 10:39 AM - 10:39 AM

If that’s the case, I will not buy a single item or service in the county, and will go out of my way to counties that don’t mandate such foolishness. Won’t support the county with my money purchasing goods and services. Will support counties that do not mandate vaccines and testing.

Angelie September 20, 2021 - 2:47 PM - 2:47 PM

Today it is Covid what will be next?

This is definitely a step toward digital health passes or as China likes to call it a “social credit” system. This “show compliance” technology is being implemented world wide.

At the bottom of the https://www.coronavirus.cchealth.org/vaccine-proof there is a offer for free scanner under Tools for Businesses:
Free tool for scanning vaccination QR codes: SMART® Health Card Verifier App

Follow that rabbit hole and it brings you to the US Advisory Council (after the world wide council members) among health care reps there are many Pharma companies, drugstore reps etc…

It’s beginning to look a lot like ..
