San Francisco supervisor proposes recovery fund for hard-hit entertainment industry
By Daniel Montes article
SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney introduced legislation Tuesday that would create a fund to help the city s struggling music and entertainment venues, which have had their doors closed since March.
According to Haney, the San Francisco Music and Entertainment Venue Recovery Fund is desperately needed as many of the businesses are facing permanent closure as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. What this pandemic has done to our economy and our way of life has been nothing short of a nightmare, and for our city s venues, there has been no reprieve. They were the first to close and will likely be the among the last to reopen, Haney said in statement.

SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney wants to make it easier for all of us to understand why some businesses are shutdown during the pandemic.
Haney said many are confused by why businesses are being given different public health orders at different times.
For example, some restaurants are allowed to have outdoor dining and then are shut down when the number of infections increases.

Earlier this month, San Francisco implemented a new stay-at-home order banning city-dwellers from seeing another person outside of their households. While the act of dating wasn t explicitly mentioned in the order, many took this opportunity to assume that dating was canceled. Nearly a week later, the city quietly updated its order stating that people were allowed to meet with one other person outside one s household. Two people could take a walk, hang out at the park, or according to the order s wording play low-contact sports like golf, tennis, pickleball, and bocce ball (but don t share equipment).
Did this cryptic change mean dating was back on?
