>>"The state government has not provided evidence that outdoor dining is responsible for much of the spread." - This is outrageous. This is the same government who has been shutting beaches in Northern California few months ago, despite all the "science" (which they claim to follow) pointing to the fact that outdoor transmission is very unlikely.

It’s really weird. We can’t eat outdoors but can congregate indoors. We can worship together and participate in protests, but can’t use outdoor playgrounds.

  It must be very frustrating to lose your business or your job because of public health restrictions like banning outdoor dining, while at the same time you see the government doing nothing about other activities which are far more risky.

  > We can worship together and participate in protests, but can’t use outdoor playgrounds. They'd prohibit both religious gatherings and protests if they legally could. These are both explicitly listed as protected under the 1st Amendment to the U.S. constitution, so it wouldn't survive a court challenge, especially since a similar restriction from New York has already been struck down as unconstitutional.

I was at downtown Woodside CA last week and outdoor dining area was packed. And this is one of the most conscious places. I believe with a limited number of people and distance rules outdoor activity is okay, but dense outdoor dining is suspicious. Same with beach. beach is okay, a packed beach (try a popular one in half moon bay) might not be.

  San Mateo county isn’t following the rules..they are exempt from dining regulations. Woodside is an unincorporated town, iirc. The state parks and beaches in pescadaro and half moon bay etc is only for the residents. You are asked to turn back if you are not a resident. The cops run your plates. At least this was the case during the first lockdown. Not so much during the second one. There are 54 counties in California. Only 41 counties have mandatory lockdown.
