This is one of the 4 counties that had not forward in it in advance of this or like many of the other counties so they too will have to be shutting down that means one more day of hair salons and Outdoor Dining here in burlingame as well as those other 4 counties again the whole idea of the shutdown order is to reduce interactions between people from different households. Time is running out to eat outdoors and have your hair done these are some of the Business Activities that will be forced to shut down now that icu capacity in the 11 county bay area has dropped below 15 i was hoping theyd give us a couple more days maybe through the weekend to be honest.

More people will die than than otherwise would have because we wont be able to provide proper care within the hospital setting.

Now these regional stay at home orders will now go into effect as you mentioned. December 17th thats tomorrow night at 11 59pm they will stay in effect for 3 weeks and at that point they will re evaluate look at icu capacity if its increased well then the restrictions could be lifted.
