The state has returned to some semblance of prepandemic life.California has fully reopened–“that means no more physical distancing, no more capacity limits on businesses, no more county tiers, and relaxed mask guidance” the state wrote in its June 15 reopening plans.
With 43 percent of California residents now fully vaccinated for COVID-19, the state has done away with its pandemic-era color-coded tier system for establishing which businesses can be open and under what conditions.
“California is turning the page on this pandemic,” Governor Gavin Newsom said in a statement about the reopening plan. California has reported just 35,000 new COVID cases in the past month, down from its all-time high of more than 1 million cases in December 2020, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Monday July 19, 2021 - 06:36:00 PM This feels like a week to pour a glass of wine, pick up a mindless book and eat chocolate. That is as long as there is water left to grow the grapes and the crop doesn’t cook in a heat dome and the tiny chocolate midge insects survive to pollinate the cocoa plant. The drought map https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/ looks worse each week and unless we can learn to appreciate the critical importance of insects and their host plants a lot more is at risk than just chocolate. Summer has barely started. The West is burning and so is Siberia. The flood waters in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium are starting to recede and we are supposed to be on watch for lightening. As for mindless books, there is no shortage, but I can’t seem to pull my head out of the books on politics and the environment.

As residents of Los Angeles County enter their first week of being required to wear face masks because of rising numbers of coronavirus cases among unvaccinated people, new cases are increasing in all 50 states.
The nationwide increase on Sunday was the fourth day in a row on a rolling seven-day average, a run not seen since the spring 2020 surge, according to health officials. The weekly rolling average for cases has nearly tripled in the last month. The death rate is also up 24.7 percent from its low point two weeks ago.
