On December 17, Southern California hit a frightening milestone. Intensive care unit capacity throughout Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Imperial, Mono, and Inyo counties dropped to 0 percent. The region’s December 6 stay at home order projected a three-week span to curb the spread, ending on December 28. But given the current data, that date seems less likely to hold, meaning that, for now, the accompanying on-site dining ban will remain in effect for the foreseeable future.
