A 4th July Lock-Down Opportunity

By Governor Newsom's orders California businesses are once again required to close for three weeks due to a surge in COVID-19:

Restaurant dining rooms and other indoor recreational activities have been ordered to close for at least three weeks in 19 counties experiencing increased spread of the coronavirus, including Los Angeles, Sacramento and Orange County.

But hey in that closure is an opportunity, the LAT continues:

Restaurants in those counties can still offer sit-down dining outdoors, as well as takeout and delivery. -Essential LA Times.

Affected businesses take assessment of your parking habits and provide outdoor seating instead. Nothing fancy, beach chairs will do, even Manhattan used beach chairs in Times Square with success.
