Gov. Newsom announces second phase of reopening parts of California to start as early as Friday
ABC/Los Angeles, May 4, 2020

The governor said during his daily press conference Monday that the next stage of reopening the state's economy is expected to begin as early as Friday.

Some businesses included in Newsom's "Stage 2" of reopening will allow for curbside pick-up at businesses such as book stores, clothing stores, sporting goods, toy stores and florists, given they follow additional safety protocols that will be released Thursday, Newsom said.

The state is also working to create guidelines that will allow restaurants and other hospitality businesses to open their doors again.

However, Newsom said the next phase does not currently include the reopening of offices, seated dining in restaurants or shopping at malls.

The governor said a key consideration for entering phase two is the ability for health authorities to test and conduct contact tracing of infections.

"This is a very positive sign and it has happened for only one reason: the data says it can happen," Newsom said. "But we recognize as we begin to modify ... possible community spread will occur. If that is the case, and we don't have the capacity to control that spread, to track that spread, to isolate individuals that may have been in contact with COVID-19, we will have to make modifications anew."

Dang!  I've read the Constitution and still can't find where Newsom is guaranteed these 'rights'.  Might Newsom be overstepping his bounds just a bit?  Is he really as power-hungry as he seems to be?   ****sheep****

We should pay as much attention to Newsom's phased re-opening as he does the nation's immigration laws.

Ummmm, Sports Basement (sporting goods) has been doing something like curbside P/Up for several weeks, as well as shipping many items via PO or UPS. Things like hand weights and kettlebells, e.g., really aren't practical for being shipped.
