Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new plan permits beauty shops to reopen

August 28, 2020

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a more gradual color coded reopening plan on Friday that allows beauty shops and barber shop to open indoors with modifications.

The state assigns every county a color, based on its rate of new cases and positivity. Colors categories include purple, red, orange and yellow, and determine when businesses and schools can reopen.

Currently, San Luis Obispo County is in the most restrictive category, purple. Counties must meet benchmarks, and then wait three weeks, before moving to another color category.

During the past four days, SLO County reported 147 new coronavirus cases. San Luis Obispo leads with 62 new coronavirus cases, followed by Paso Robles with 38 and Atascadero with 10.

Of the 2,882 confirmed coronavirus cases in SLO County, 2,413 individuals have recovered, and 21 have died. Of those still suffering from the virus, there are 15 people in the hospital — two in intensive care, and 432 recuperating at home.

Cases by city:

  • Paso Robles — 722
  • San Luis Obispo — 389
  • Atascadero — 317
  • Nipomo — 304
  • CMC inmates — 239
  • Arroyo Grande — 189
  • Grover Beach — 134
  • Templeton — 113
  • San Miguel — 106
  • Oceano — 100
  • Los Osos — 51
  • Pismo Beach — 49
  • Morro Bay — 41
  • Cambria — 31
  • Santa Margarita — 24
  • Shandon — 25
  • Cayucos — 14
  • Avila Beach — 7
  • San Simeon — 6
  • Creston — 6
  • Other county cases — 15

As of Friday evening, there have been 698,186 positive cases, and 12,836 deaths in California.

Currently, more than 6,096,235 U.S. residents have tested positive for the virus, and 185,901 have died.

In addition, the number of people infected with the virus worldwide continues to increase: 24,916,716 cases with 841,372 dead.

Odds are that Newsom’s wife’s nails, skin, and hair have been regularly and well maintained during the scamdemic . She, along with all stylists, manicurists, and skin care doctors have likely not perished from the dreaded scary rona’.

This new guideline is nothing more than the same tired crap just painted to look a different “color”. In fact, if you look at what has been said by Newsom as of late, he wants more testing while trying to pencil whip us to say that we can’t have more than 3.9 people per 100k test positive? Well whats the mechanism to handle false positives? How will asymptomatic cases be dealt with? Yet again, Newsom keeps us under his thumb by using voodoo science and completely unreliable numbers.

Gavin left the beaches open in San Diego because he doesn’t want to piss off the mayor in SD…because Gavin knows the SD mayor can beat him….

When do the gyms open? This is getting old. What is the difference an empty gym and a crowded walmart. It’s crazy.

We lost our gym here in Los Osos, Minor’s is taking it over to expand. I don’t think we’ll ever see another gym here.
