On Tuesday, Governor Newsom’s administration said outdoor dining is “low risk,” and the decision to close outdoor dining in California was to get people to stay home.
QUESTION: Based on those comments, do you think outdoor dining should be allowed to immediately reopen? (with precautions)
On Tuesday, December 8, 2020, Dr. Ghaly conceded that neither Governor Newsom nor his administration have the data to show that outdoor dining, relative to other activities, facilitates the spread of COVID-19.
They even admitted it is a lower risk activity.

Open them NOW! This is garbage science,
These @&#%!! Politicians are so drunk with power, they no longer even try to govern with reason and restraint. They’re all f___ing dictators. Mitchoff wants to use a hammer on us and Gruesome Nuisance just can’t stop himself from acting as if he were emperor of CA. Time to vote these clowns out of office!

And to answer the WC question: Yes, restaurants should reopen immediately. As a matter of fact, restauranteurs should just go ahead and open up without waiting from an edict from on high.

When confronted with science, Newsom is speechless or clueless. And it appears that his integrity was surgically or chemically removed.
Now, to answer the question…open restaurants, Churches, everything. Let people make their own decisions, just like we now do with abortions and what people do in their own bedroom.
BTW- Heard through a friend in India that they are back to living life normally. That friend said that a few people have had the virus, but they aren’t seeing a health crisis there. Perhaps Gavin’s ‘cure’ is worse than the disease itself.
Yes… open outdoor dining immediately.
I have zero trust in Newsom’s ability to make common sense decisions any longer.

Yes! We need to keep these businesses in business.
Should reopen outdoor dining immediately! A week ago Newsom’s answer was there was a lot of evidence followed by a long answer that assumed the prior lock downs were a smashing success, but never gave any details supporting what was shutting down. Disappointed that didn’t give straight answer a week ago.
Not only should they open back up for outdoor dining, but indoor dining as well. If you can shop at Costco or Safeway you can eat or drink indoors in a bar or restaurant. This is and always has been about CONTROL, not a virus. Just ask ControlFreakKarenMitchoff…
Exactly…Will gets it. It is maddening that there are so many people who, while otherwise opposed to lockdowns, still accept the incrementalism of things like no indoor dining. Bu*****t, there is no reason why restaurants, movie theaters, and gyms shouldn’t be open for INDOOR patronage. And I don’t think there should be ANY mandated limitations other than the fire code..leave it up to the business owners and customers of free will to DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES.
@Pete V –
That is why the statement put out by the Sheriff of Orange County is so good – talks about this is a personal choice issue, not a law enforcement issue. They’re not going to enforce Comrade Gavin’s latest tyrannical “order”.
I just read that restaurants in Danville are continuing to stay open and serve outdoor diners. That is what all the local communities need to be doing – Clayton, Concord if you have an outdoor patio or other outdoor seating, continue to serve diners outside! Much better than trying to exist on take out only. Ed, if you’re reading this you need to open both your places back up for outdoor dining. Under the Christmas lights, it’s the holidays FFS.
What is sad is with this weather they could stay afloat longer.
Only 2 states have closed both indoor and outdoor dining!
Outdoor dining seems pretty safe (as long as you’re only dining with members of your household) – I imagine the dropping temperatures will be an issue for restaurants. It’s getting past the point where I will want to sit down outside for very long and will just rely on takeout.
Absolutely!!! These smaller businesses are dying off and that is very sobering.
(Gavin’s favorite word other than ah and um)
Destroyer of society,and admired by popcorn and “greg”for this reason.These are gladly have the whole country on welfare and tell you to stop crying about it.because this is how they live so you should too.
Open open open…
Follow the Science!!! Wasn’t that the battle cry from one political party. If no/low risk, open it up.
why would newscum want people to stay home during the biggest month of shopping
i wonder if amazon contributes to newscums campaign
forcing everyone to shop online ….
wow if i was a business being destroyed by this obvious political stunt
i hope they didnt vote dem….
if they did it only gets worse for them
Yes! Open! And open our schools!!!!
Yes
Somebody got to him! This didn’t happened by itself.
Open everything now.
YES!
So what’s it gonna be (They call me) Mr. Know It All (I will not compromise)? Open outdoor dining or not? Little Dictator…
I don’t say this lightly, but I believe that Gavin Newsom and his ilk are flat-out evil. Don’t know how they got that way, but they are.
Sixth time’s the charm?
Open hair salons too. I feel safer in a salon, among only a handful of people (six feet away) all wearing masks, than I do sitting in a restaurant amongst a couple of dozen (none wearing masks).
I see now that there is money in covid but not for the regular person.
This back peddling is so transparent.
Open up out door dinning!
Holy Toledo! This is two days in a row that somebody in Sackatomatoes actually use their brain and didn’t say, “Thinking hurts!”
LET THEM OPEN !!!! These folks need to provide for their families and are barely scraping by….More and more lawsuits need to be filed along with Nail Salons, Beauty Salons and Barbers….Show us the science!!!!….DICTATORS all of them from the County to the State…..Government’s job is to protect our rights not our Health. We are responsible for our own health.
Dr. Ghaly.needs to resign.
Everyone needs to overrun Mitchoff’s FB, have you seen how stupid her own comments are? Sorry I know it’s off topic, it is that disturbing
Open the county up! Hair salons, outdoor dining and schools!
No science behind this closure!
Simple fix, . . . . https://recallgavin2020.com/
This, like the decision to close playgrounds, surely shows signs that our elected folks are bipolar! Open up all our businesses that want to open or shackle We the People to our homes…
Yes. Business owners know if they do not abide by the health guidelines the press will make it known if they are a super spreader and the public will not patronize.
More’s the pity of the press. If they only printed real news.
Well that’s a no brainer though the ones inflicting these ridiculous shutdowns obviously are not using their brains! Open Open OPEN!
TRANSLATION: Since pretty much no one is listening to me at this point anyway, I’m opting to maintain my illusion of control by changing to a more benevolent tone.
Since the Chinese virus started one person outside of long term care has died in Walnut Creek. For that we will bankrupt everyone.
Exactly 100% spot on!
Yes open immediately!!! Small businesses are the ones who aré suffering
Some push back and they fold, like a house of cards.

Gyms should be essential. They are very important to maintaining health.
I would love to find a gym that is operating in defiance of the idiotic closure orders. I’d seen it posted that Fit 19 was open. I stopped by the one in Walnut Creek, and it’s locked up tight.
Somebody must have a reservation at French Laundry….
Outdoor dining is low-moderate risk , and so is grocery shopping. if we can grocery shop, we can outdoor dine.
The customers who outdoor dine are willing to take the risk, which is minimal. Open back up and let restaurants make money, and let people eat out.
Well if all types of activity is safe why are more people getting infected? Yesterday there were 3.124 deaths from COVID-19. Pearl Harbor was 2,402 and 9/11 was 2,977.
Outdoor AND indoor dining should be open right now! Outdoor dining won’t be possible as the weather gets colder and we finally get some rain so indoor dining needs to be open too. Newscum dined indoors but he is preventing everyone from doing the same.
Well…. we sure are showing the Chinese the short way to defeat America in a war… biological warfare, and a very tame version at that, is working very effectively against our society of over reactive,hand wringing hypochondriacs.
A majority of us prefer to let our economy crumble, businesses fail and leave citizens sentenced to house arrest rather than allow our Fellow Americans (Land of the free, home of the brave?) to use their own adult judgement to either cautiously work and sustain us or hide at home from a virus that has a less than 1% mortality rate.
Anything outdoors should be allowed for sure!!!!!! All the money that these establishments have put in to tents and heaters and screens and everything they’ve done to separate and keep people safe. It’s unconscionable. The spread is coming from people indoors unmasked with family… Pure and simple. And it’s not going to stop, we need a vaccine!
Like the many posters voiced their comments that politicians get drunk with their power! One thing we should as a voting democracy is to vote them out of office! However, I seriously doubt that because this state (especially NCal!) have too many empty-headed Demo-leaning voters! In as much Pelosi is a LOSER, she is voted back into office. What does tell you??
Outdoor dining should have NEVER been closed!!
So this is all about control and not the science like we have all suspected for sometime…
Do you honestly believe the numbers that are reported? If so why? They have lied the whole time and changed the narrative to suit them…
I just wish they’d just make up their minds. Enough with the freaking yoyo, on-again-off-again, stuff. Logic and insight appears to be completely absent from their decision making.
Resteraunts should join together and collectively sue for damage for the owners and their employees. Punitive damages too should be awarded. Gavin Newsom has targeted various businesses in an effort to regulate and control the behaviors of others. Recall Gavin Newsom. Open our communities and restore our freedom of choice now. https://recallgavin2020.com/
