On top of the tables inside the restaurant. Thats because a lot of county is among those the state is shut down for Indoor Dining due to concerns over covid19 scared. Really watching restaurants and other Small Businesses go out of business in record numbers of never seen so many closures, the reason for the closure of Indoor Dining in Solano County is due to an uptick in covid19 hospitalizations weve had a doubling in the number in our daily hospital census. So we had been averaging. In the range of 15 to 20 People Per Day hospitalized and over the last several days weve been running 38 to 41. But Solano Countys Health Officer says that increase in hospitalizations as well as cases is not to do things like Indoor Dining the reason that were seeing the surge is mostly because of people having family gatherings and social gatherings on the weekend and in addition, we also have a pretty sizable outbreak among migrant farm workers. And now the officer says he is unsure shutting down Indoor Dining will have much of an impact on the numbers unless those social activity stop. Back at the loft wine bar and Restaurant Business has been good since Indoor Dining reopen 6 weeks ago. Now though just have to survive with patio dining only. We have more tables outside than we do in sight. But its actually going to impact us negatively. The Health Officer says bringing down those numbers is all reliant on how people behave in Solano County that means washing hands social distancing and wearing masks.

This early thursday morning now we are in the midst of a mini cooldown not definitely a big one just a few degrees cooler today than what we had seen yesterday enough to offer some relief to our inland areas which have been under some pretty warm conditions lately look at all the sunshine that weve got all the way up to the coast today now. Yeah were just talking about those beaches when you see sunshine like this you may be tempted to head out there, but it will be a breezy afternoon. So that is your catch right along the coastline. It is going to be pretty windy now on into tomorrow we do see the return of some coastal fog tries to push in not being very intrusive though, but you will see more of that coastal fog tomorrow morning than what we are seeing today which is obviously none of it hardly anything at nice way to start your thursday as far as temperatures go today, we will be in the 50s and 60s and San Francisco. Same for those of us that are further down the peninsula.
