 This is current information from  the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal  that  should be a baseline for your decision-making.

 My comments  on   each item  presented by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal  are appended for your consideration. To make  it clear which materials come from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and which are  my comments, I have capitalized my comments  after each New York Times and Wall Street Journal item

1.“The virus is not going to disappear,” said Dr. Fauci.      THE IMPLICATIONS OF DR. FAUCI’S  STATEMENT ARE CLEAR…. WE MUST LEARN TO LIVE WITH AND OPERATE IN AN  ACTIVE CORONAVIRUS ENVIRONMENT . THAT MEANS OPENING OUR BUSINESSES, OUR SCHOOLS, ETC AND WORKING  OUT THE NECESSARY COMPROMISES BETWEEN ASSURING OUR  ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SURVIVAL AND   THE MINIMIZATION OF INFECTIONS,  DISABILITIES AND DEATHS.

 2. Is the coronavirus airborne? The coronavirus can stay aloft for hours in tiny droplets in stagnant air, infecting people as they inhale, mounting scientific evidence suggests. This risk is highest in crowded indoor spaces with poor ventilation, and may help explain super-spreading events reported in meatpacking plants, churches and restaurants. It’s unclear how often the virus is spread via these tiny droplets, or aerosols, compared with larger droplets that are expelled when a sick person coughs or sneezes, or transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces, said Linsey Marr, an aerosol expert at Virginia Tech. Aerosols are released even when a person without symptoms exhales, talks or sings, according to Dr. Marr and more than 200 other experts, who have outlined the evidence in an open letter to the World Health Organization.        THIS STATEMENT IS CORRECT BUT IT HAS BEEN USED IN  VERY MISLEADING WAYS. EXTENSIVE CHINESE TRACKING DATA SHOWED THAT ONLY ONE  INFECTION  IN MORE THAN 7,000 CASES TRACKED WAS ACQUIRED THROUGH  AN  OUTDOOR CONTACT. WORLDWIDE STUDIES SEEM TO CONFIRM THAT FINDING. OTHER STUDIES SHOW THAT  VERY MILD BREEZES DISRUPT ANY  POSSIBLE LINGERING AEROSOLS. OTHER STUDIES INDICATE THAT EVEN WHEN THERE ARE STATIC CONDITIONS OUTDOORS THE MOMENTUM WAVE CREATED BY A MOVING PERSON PUSHES THE AEROSOL AWAY, SIMILAR TO THE WAY A BOAT CREATES A WAVE WHEN MOVING AND PUSHES THE WATER  ASIDE. OTHER STUDIES INDICATE THAT INTENSIVE CONTACT [ 15 MINUTES OR MORE] IS REQUIRED FOR THE VIRUS TO BE TRANSFERRED FROM A CARRIER TO A  VICTIM. THIS WOULD MAKE THE WEARING OF MASKS  OUTDOORS  COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY.  IT ALSO MEANS THAT ADEQUATE VENTILATION SUCH AS AIR SCRUBBERS, CLEAN ROOMS, ETC. COULD   DUPLICATE INDOORS THE OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT NECESSARY TO MAKE SUCH SPACES NEARLY 100% SAFE. SINCE THE TECHNOLOGY IS WELL KNOWN AND INEXPENSIVE IT CAN BE APPLIED TO NEARLY EVERY SCHOOLROOM, OFFICE, FACTORY, MALL, STORE, ETC.


3. Dr. Fauci said a coronavirus vaccine will not be ready until at least the end of this year or early 2021, reiterating the timetable he has given in the past. He said he was “cautiously optimistic” about meeting it. He also pledged to lawmakers that he would not allow any vaccine to go to market until it was proved both safe and effective. Also, there may be different vaccines for different populations, and some may  require booster shots.     APPROXIMATELY  100 VACCINES  ARE NOW UNDER DEVELOPMENT. MANY OF THEM HAVE ALREADY PROVED TO BE SAFE. ALSO, MANY OF THEM ON PRELIMINARY TESTING APPEAR TO BE “EFFECTIVE”.  THE  FDA HAS TALKED ABOUT  REQUIRING  PROOF, THROUGH EXTENSIVE TESTING, OF AT LEAST 50% EFFECTIVENESS BEFORE APPROVAL FOR USE. THE FLU VACCINE THAT I TOOK LAST YEAR, (  WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO COMBAT THE FLU  OF TWO YEARS AGO )   WAS A COMBINATION OF FOUR SEPARATE VACCINES. CONFRONTED WITH A SIMILAR SITUATION, MY  MILITARY ORGANIZATION  WOULD HAVE DETERMINED WHICH OF THE SEVERAL PROMISING DEVELOPMENTS COULD WORK IN COMBINATION AND THEN WOULD COMBINE  SEVERAL OF THESE  INTO COMPOSITE PACKAGES FOR MASS UTILIZATION. THIS MEANS SEVERAL MILLION VACCINATIONS. IF ANY OF THESE PACKAGES WORK THIS WOULD HAVE AN IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL EFFECT  ON BLOCKING THE PROGRESS OF COVID- 19.   IN PERFORMING TESTS, THE CONCEPT OF  POOLING IS A WELL KNOWN TECHNIQUE FOR   SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASING THROUGHPUT. DR. FAUCI HAS JUST BEGUN TO MENTION THE POSSIBLE USE OF THIS TECHNIQUE. THERE ARE PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF EQUALLY IMAGINATIVE AND POSSIBLY VERY USEFUL SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE NOT BEING CONSIDERED, GIVEN THE STOVEPIPE ARRANGEMENTS OF THE CDC BUREAUCRACIES.


4.Dr. Hahn pushed back against the suggestion by Democrats that the White House had pressured the Food and Drug Administration in its handling of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which Mr. Trump has promoted as a treatment.

A..     ACCORDING TO THE WASHINGTON POST DR. BRIGHT PUBLICLY MADE THE FOLLOWING REMARKS: “I INSISTED THAT THESE DRUGS BE PROVIDED ONLY TO HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS WITH CONFIRMED COVID-19 WHILE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A PHYSICIAN. THESE DRUGS HAVE POTENTIALLY SERIOUS RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM, INCLUDING INCREASED MORTALITY OBSERVED IN SOME RECENT STUDIES IN PATIENTS WITH COVID-19.”

B..     BY HIS OWN ADMISSION, DR. BRIGHT IS  UNILATERALLY INFRINGING UPON THE MEDICAL JUDGMENT OF THOUSANDS OF PHYSICIANS.

C.     THE FOLLOWING “ANECDOTAL” REPORTS[ 3 EXAMPLES OF MANY] HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED BY  LICENSED PHYSICIANS AND SUMMARIZES THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS MEDICATION. IN ADDITION, A  REPUTABLE INTERNATIONAL SURVEY[ SERMO] SHOWS THAT THIS MEDICATION IS UTILIZED IN TREATMENT  FOR COVID-19 THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND IS REGARDED AS EFFECTIVE BY THOSE USING IT.

          (a)   CORONAVIRUS AT TEXAS NURSING HOME – HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE TREATMENT SAVES ALL BUT 1 PATIENT. A NURSING HOME IN TEXAS HAS A HOPEFUL STORY FOR THOSE SUFFERING WITH CORONAVIRUS.THE RESORT AT TEXAS NURSING HOME HAD AN OUTBREAK OF CORONAVIRUS THAT INFECTED 56 RESIDENTS AND 33 STAFF MEMBERS. DR. ROBIN ARMSTRONG IMMEDIATELY ADMINISTERED HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE TO THE RESIDENTS AND STAFF MEMBERS ALONG WITH ZPAC AND ZINC. ONLY ONE NURSING HOME PATIENT DIED SINCE THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED THE HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE. 55 MADE IT. "DR. ARMSTRONG AND OTHERS AT THE RESORT AT TEXAS CITY NURSING HOME KNEW TIME WASN’T ON THEIR SIDE.'TWO OF OUR RESIDENTS HAD SYMPTOMS AND THAT’S WHEN WE TESTED EVERYBODY,' SAID NURSING HOME EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JAN PIVERAL.  56  RESIDENTS AND 33 STAFF MEMBERS WERE COVID-19 POSITIVE. 'OUR GOAL WAS TO MAKE SURE WE COULD SHELTER THEM IN PLACE SO WE DON’T SPREAD IT TO OTHER PEOPLE,' ARMSTRONG SAID. 'THEN ALSO AT THE SAME TIME TREAT THEM SO THEY WOULD GET BETTER.’ ARMSTRONG SAYS HE KNEW RESIDENTS WHO ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL HAD A HIGHER MORTALITY RATE. 'OUR GOAL WAS TO KEEP THEM HERE AND TREAT THEM WITH THE MEDICATIONS WE HAD AVAILABLE,' HE SAID. WHEN ARMSTRONG BEGAN ADMINISTERING HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, IT WAS CONTROVERSIAL BUT APPEARED PROMISING. 'IF WE DIDN’T MAKE THE DECISION QUICKLY THEN WE COULD POTENTIALLY LOSE 15 TO 20% OF THE RESIDENTS WHICH WAS NOT AN OPTION' SAID THE DOCTOR. ARMSTRONG’S APPROACH WAS TO BEGIN ADMINISTERING HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE A ZPAC AND ZINC JUST AS SOON AS A RESIDENT FIRST STARTED SHOWING SYMPTOMS.ARMSTRONG DOESN’T CALL THE HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE A CURE AND IS AWARE OF ALL THE RECENT REPORTS THAT SAY THE DRUG SHOULDN’T BE USED TO TREAT COVID-19.BUT HE POINTS OUT ONLY ONE OF THE NURSING HOMES COVID-19 PATIENTS HAS DIED.'EVERYONE WHO GOT ON TREATMENT WHO STARTED ON TREATMENT IS ACTUALLY DOING REALLY WELL,' HE SAID."

          (b) INFORMATION FROM  MONROE, NEW YORK.   SINCE 3/15/20, MY TEAM HAS SEEN APPROXIMATELY 1354 PATIENTS IN MONROE, NEW YORK WITH EITHERTEST PROVEN OR CLINICALLY SUSPECTED CORONAVIRUS INFECTION. THE MAJORITY OF THE PATIENTS WERETREATED WITH ONLY SUPPORTIVE CARE. THE PATIENTS WITH SHORTNESS OF BREATH OR WHO ARE IN THE HIGHRISK CATEGORY WERE TREATED WITH THE ABOVE REGIMEN (APPROXIMATELY 405 PATIENTS AT THIS POINT)..
OF THIS GROUP AND THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO ME BY AFFILIATED MEDICAL TEAMS, WE HAVE HAD TWO
DEATHS, SIX HOSPITALIZATIONS FOR PNEUMONIA, AND FOUR INTUBATIONS (ALL EXTUBATED NOW). IN ADDITION,
I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS OTHER THAN APPROXIMATELY 10% OF PATIENTS WITH
TEMPORARY NAUSEA AND DIARRHEA. IN SUM, MY URGENT RECOMMENDATION IS TO INITIATE TREATMENT IN THE OUTPATIENT SETTING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOVE. BASED ON MY DIRECT EXPERIENCE, IT PREVENTS ACUTE
RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME (ARDS), PREVENTS THE NEED FOR HOSPITALIZATION AND SAVES LIVES.
 CONCLUSION: TREAT AS EARLY AND AS AGGRESSIVELY AS POSSIBLE IN THE OUTPATIENT SETTING
1- HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE 200MG TWICE A DAY FOR 5 DAYS   2- AZITHROMYCIN 500MG ONCE A DAY FOR FIVE DAYS
3- ZINC SULFATE 220MG ONCE A DAY FOR FIVE DAYS

          (c) INFORMATION FROM  TARZANA CALIFORNIA :  SO FAR IN MY CLINICAL EXPERIENCE, I CAN TELL YOU THAT HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE/AZITHROMYCIN COMBO HAS BEEN 100% EFFECTIVE FOR MY COV PATIENTS, WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ALL OF THE INTEGRATIVE .... I EMPLOY.  NEEDS TO BE GIVEN EARLY ENOUGH IN THE COURSE OF THE ILLNESS TO BE MAXIMALLY EFFECTIVE.  MUCH LIKE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER CAN PUT OUT A SMALL KITCHEN FIRE, BUT IF A HOUSE IS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, YOU NEED A FIRE HOSE.  DOESN’T MEAN FIRE EXTINGUISHERS DON’T WORK FOR HOUSE FIRES, JUST NEED TO BE USED EARLY IN THE EVENT…...

AS WE NO LONGER HAVE THE DOMESTIC CAPACITY TO MANUFACTURE THESE MEDICATIONS [HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE/AZITHROMYCIN]  IN THE QUANTITIES NEEDED ON THE TIMELINE REQUIRED, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD IMMEDIATELY WORK TO RE-TOOL US CHEMICAL FACTORIES THAT ARE CAPABLE OF RETROFITTING TO MANUFACTURE THESE TWO DRUGS.  THE RAW MATERIALS OF THESE MEDICINES CAN THEN BE SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO VITAMIN MANUFACTURERS WHO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO CONSERVATIVELY AND COLLECTIVELY MAKE 5 - 10 MILLIONS PILLS DAILY.  AS A CONTRACT MANUFACTURER OF VITAMINS, I KNOW FIRST HAND THAT THESE FACILITIES FOLLOW STRICT FDA GUIDELINES THAT ARE EQUIVALENT TO THE REGULATIONS OF BIG PHARMA. THEREFORE, QUALITY CONTROL WILL NOT BE A CONCERN.  COMPOUND PHARMACIES ARE ALSO CAPABLE OF PARTICIPATING IN THIS EFFORT.IF THIS PROTOCOL WERE TO BE ADOPTED, SOME 150M DOSES OF THESE LIFE-SAVING MEDICATIONS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS IN NEED AND ANY FIRST RESPONDER/FRONT LINE HEALTHCARE WORKER.

WHILE NOT SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN, IT HAS ALSO BEEN ANECDOTALLY OBSERVED THAT CHLOROQUINE MAY OFFER SIGNIFICANT PROPHYLAXIS SO THAT THOSE MOST AT RISK (THE VULNERABLE PATIENTS AND FRONT-LINE HEALTHCARE WORKERS) MAY NEVER DEVELOP A PRIMARY INFECTION DURING THE EPIDEMIC.   THIS PREVENTIVE INTERVENTION SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY OFFERED TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN AN OPEN-LABEL, OBSERVATIONAL STUDY.

WITH THE CURE IN THE HANDS OF PHARMACIES, HOSPITALS AND FIRST RESPONDERS, THE CONCERN FOR THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF THE VULNERABLE POPULATION (WHOSE CHARACTERISTICS HAVE BEEN WELL DESCRIBED) CAN BE ASSURED. BY TREATING THESE VULNERABLE PATIENTS IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 5 DAY PRODROME (WHEN MILD SYMPTOMS BEGIN), DEMANDS ON HOSPITAL RESOURCES WILL BE EFFECTIVELY COUNTERED.   

         (d) MORE THAN   2,304    PHYSICIANS WHO ARE CURRENTLY SUCCESSFULLY TREATING  PATIENTS INFECTED WITH THE COVID-19  REPORTED  THEIR  "ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE" OF THEIR  SUCCESS WITH THEIR PATIENTS UTILIZING HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE --AN INTERNATIONAL  SURVEY CONDUCTED BY SERMO, A GLOBAL HEALTH CARE POLLING COMPANY, OF 6,227 PHYSICIANS IN 30 COUNTRIES FOUND THAT 37% OF THOSE TREATING COVID-19 PATIENTS RATED HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AS THE “MOST EFFECTIVE THERAPY” FROM A LIST OF 15 OPTIONS. THE POLL FOUND 23% OF U.S. MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS HAD PRESCRIBED THE DRUG, WHICH HAS BEEN FDA-APPROVED FOR MALARIA, LUPUS AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.  HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, WHICH IS SOLD UNDER THE BRAND NAME PLAQUENIL, WAS PRESCRIBED MAINLY IN THE UNITED STATES FOR THE MOST SEVERE CASES, BUT NOT SO IN OTHER COUNTRIES.“OUTSIDE THE U.S., HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE WAS EQUALLY USED FOR DIAGNOSED PATIENTS WITH MILD TO SEVERE SYMPTOMS WHEREAS IN THE U.S. IT WAS MOST COMMONLY USED FOR HIGH RISK DIAGNOSED PATIENTS,” THE SURVEY FOUND.THE 30 NATIONS SURVEYED INCLUDED THOSE IN EUROPE, ASIA, NORTH AMERICA AND SOUTH AMERICA, AS WELL AS AUSTRALIA. NO INCENTIVES WERE PROVIDED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE POLL, CONDUCTED MARCH 25-27, ACCORDING TO SERMO. HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE USAGE WAS MOST WIDESPREAD IN SPAIN, WHERE 72% OF PHYSICIANS SURVEYED SAID THEY HAD PRESCRIBED IT, FOLLOWED BY ITALY AT 49%, AND LEAST POPULAR IN JAPAN, WHERE 7% HAD USED IT Tod COVID-19.


         (e)  QUOTING SERMO CEO PETER KIRK [ WHICH WOULD BE DIRECT  COUNTER TO DR. BRIGHT’S INSISTENCE THAT THESE MEDICATIONS BE ONLY PROVIDED TO HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS] “PHYSICIANS SHOULD HAVE MORE OF A VOICE IN HOW WE DEAL WITH THIS PANDEMIC AND BE ABLE TO QUICKLY SHARE INFORMATION WITH ONE ANOTHER AND THE WORLD,” HE SAID. “WITH CENSORSHIP OF THE MEDIA AND THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY IN SOME COUNTRIES, ALONG WITH BIASED AND POORLY DESIGNED STUDIES, SOLUTIONS TO THE PANDEMIC ARE BEING DELAYED.”

5.     Small Businesses Brace for Prolonged Crisis, Short on Cash and Customers. Small businesses such as restaurants, dog-care centers and manufacturers brought back staff beginning in mid-April, believing they could get back to business. Now, many are shutting down or slashing jobs again as local officials and consumers pull back and the pandemic shows no signs of abating. More government support may help in the short run, but many business owners are facing make-or-break challenges. Many may not last. An estimated 1.85 million U.S. businesses closed their doors or temporarily suspended operations in the second quarter, according to Oxxford Information Technology Ltd. in Saratoga, N.Y., which tracks roughly 32 million U.S. businesses of all sizes using data from credit bureaus, surveys and government sources.
Total losses this year will be greater than in the last recession, when 20%, or roughly 4.5 million businesses, disappeared in just over a year.
 Small firms are especially vulnerable now and will account for most of the losses. Most lack the working capital to survive the downturn or to meet customer needs when the economy recovers. Just two-fifths of small-business employees who had worked in January were logging hours in early April, according to Homebase, a provider of scheduling and time management software. The roughly 500,000 employees it tracks are mostly hourly workers in restaurants, retailers, hair salons and other Main Street businesses.  Enterprises with fewer than 500 employees accounted for almost half of private-sector employment in 2017, the most-recent data, according to the Census Bureau. Small firms also employ a majority of the workers in industries such as restaurants and personal care that are most affected by capacity restrictions.

 I AM PRETTY SURE THAT THESE BASIC STATISTICS AND FINDINGS APPLY TO THE CITY OF TORRANCE IN OTHER WORDS WHAT WE OPEN UP OR WE DIE AS AN ECONOMY AND AS A ROBUST SOCIAL  COMMUNITY.


6.COVID-19 cases  are overstated by one hundred percent because of indiscriminate testing. The corona viral dna tests have a reported 4% false positive rate that, when applied to the nearly 50 million tests done so far result in 2 million falsely labelled as having COVID-19.
Link     All tests in medicine have a certain number of false positives, meaning that the test is positive but that the patient does not have the disease.  COVID-19 News reports that 48.3 million tests have been done in the United States as of Monday. Four percent, or over 1.93 million are false positives. These patients are not infected. The same publication  alleges that about 3.9 million Americans have been infected with COVID-19. They did not subtract the nearly 2 million false positives. Fewer than 2 million Americans have truly positive tests for COVID-19 (but it’s not always certain which ones.) Link, VirusNCov.com

Erwin Haas is a retired infectious diseases doctor, former Kentwood City commissioner and flight surgeon in Vietnam: "The scam starts when  one individual is tested and is found to be falsely positive. All of his contacts will then be traced and tested. If there are 25 contacts, one of them is likely to be falsely positive as will, in turn, one of his 25 contacts.The entire chain is actually negative but this kind of creative and unwarranted testing does swell the numbers. This is playing out as a manufactured epidemic in rural United States where a new population of COVID-19 cases has arisen in the last 2 months; Many of the new cases are in younger healthy individuals tested as part of contact tracing. To invent a meme; It’s not the same COVID-19 that we knew in the old days…..A better gauge of COVID-19 disease levels is the death rate. This is dropping. Michigan, as an example, reports one or two new deaths per day but on many days also reports a half dozen deaths retrieved in chart reviews of cases from February or March. This gives the false impression of a high mortality. "

"Some final notes;  1) We need to re-evaluate the positives that have been generated as a result of our misunderstanding of basic statistical principles. 2) This is a money maker for the labs and newly trained, well paid profession of contact tracer. These constituencies will fight against correcting this fluke in statistics. 3) I would not expect politicians or journalists to understand the problem of false positives but experts at the CDC, NIH and at the various universities who squawk loudly about the “pandemic” and how “we must destroy the economy” can be mocked for not understanding basic statistics and Bayesian Theory. “

 TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE FUTURE OF TORRANCE APPEARS TO  DIRECTLY DEPEND UPON HAPPENINGS, DATA, REPORTS, ETC. THAT ARE BEING TABULATED  COVERING GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY  IN AREAS  THAT ARE HAVING FAR DIFFERENT LIVING AND PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERIENCES  THAN  IS ACTUALLY OCCURRING IN TORRANCE.  THEN, ANONYMOUS DEPARTMENT WORKERS IN SACRAMENTO TABULATE AND INTERPRET THIS COMPOSITE DATA AND PLACE ENTIRE COUNTIES SUCH AS LOS ANGELES COUNTY ON 'WATCH LISTS”   WHERE THEY WILL REMAIN UNLESS THE  THE ENTIRE COUNTY MEETS  SOME ARBITRARY MEASURE FOR A "14 CONSECUTIVE DAY PERIOD". IN OTHER WORDS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA [ANONYMOUS BUREAUCRATS] ISSUE ARBITRARY DIRECTIVES WHICH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES THEN  ADDS TO AND RE-BROADCASTS  WHICH THE CITY OF TORRANCE THEN ACQUIESCES TO.  EXAMPLES OF SUCH OVER-KILL DIRECTIVES INCLUDE GOV. NEWSOM’S UNILATERAL DETERMINATION THAT A ROAST BEEF SANDWICH DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A “MEAL”  WHEN  SERVED IN A BAR—A  STATE-MANDATED REQUIREMENT TO ALLOW  THE BAR TO STAY OPEN. ALSO, THE EXACT FROZEN DINNER THAT IS SERVED BY MANY RESTAURANTS, DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A “MEAL” IF IT IS SERVED BY A BAR.   ALTHOUGH GOV. NEWSOM MANDATED THAT  PET GROOMERS AGAIN SHUT DOWN, TO THIS  DATE  THE GOVERNOR  HAS NOT A SINGLE  DOCUMENTED INCIDENT  TO SERVE AS A BASIS FOR HIS SHUT DOWN ORDERING  DECISION.]
