California Regional Stay-at-Home Order and Silicon Valley Exemptions
California Governor Gavin Newsom implemented a regional stay-at-home order triggered by ICU bed capacity falling below 15%. The mandate faces criticism for being based on hospital management rather than science, as individuals are technically allowed outdoors while businesses are forced to close. San Mateo County, home to much of Silicon Valley, notably opted out of the initial Bay Area implementation of these restrictions.

00:00 Adam Curry, John C. DeVore It's Sunday December 6th 2020 This is your award winning Game On Nation Media assassination episode 1301! This is no agenda Pinning down dates and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas. Capital of the drone star state In The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're drinking instant coffee. I'm John C. DuVora. Wait a minute wait you are your ground zero of the tyrannical lockdown in California and that's all you got is your drinkin' coffee
00:44 So I looked at the, I looked up...I always look these orders up and actually read them. Nobody does that in media especially Well no because they're exempt and they don't care No actually they're not exempt from this Oh what? Media is not exempt from this? No apparently everyone is Whoa including protesters Well, protesters are encouraged. Oh okay! Just want to make sure we still have a shot... And it is listed Okay let us know what's in the order how were you how was your movement being restricted? If you start to look at actually look at the order and read the document you can go out and do whatever you want Wait a minute You're just discouraged Really?! Yeah and the thing is of course all the restaurants everything close so if you got do whatever you want what are gonna do
01:34 This is like my idea of going to Paris. I'd love to get on a plane and go to Paris, what am i gonna do? Be locked down for 14 days even if it wasn't lockdown... What hotel am I gonna stay at? What am I gonna doing there? I can't go to a cafe! The Louvre is closed. Right but the shutdown of businesses and restaurants that's being enforced Yeah, okay. That's being enforced but they're not enforcing people being outside and you have to wear a mask in your own bed is that part of the I'm serious. They wish it's possible No, that's coming This is this order which to me just on its face feels like I could be I'm probably wrong But it feels like Gavin Newsom got
02:20 caught being a dick. Everyone pointed at him and said, you're a dick! And he went oh watch this I mean is there any other reason because what they're saying is completely ludicrous The stay-at-home order is because you've crossed over the magical 15% free ICU bed space in hospitals Which, as we know is really only a portion of all the ICU beds. It's an artificial construct Yes! So this isn't even a flattening of the curve or anything like that This is just saying well... We've passed 15% if were below 15% capacity then we have to lock down until January 4th This is not even based on science this is based on hospital management
03:12 Well, you know it's like oh so do we just need more beds? Can we then be free? So what they've done is they've implemented the harshest order which is again like I would have just said this. You can go float around if you want to but your discouraged from it but you can And so there's no media exemption because pretty much everyone can do what they want. But again, there is nothing to do. So what would you do? You might as well stay at home and eat or watch TV. It is only a few counties that are really put it into full force
03:48 All the counties in the Bay Area except San Mateo County. Right, they're revolting against it. What? San Mateo County is...they are blocking the order That's Silicon Valley There's your irony. Wait, that's the Silicon Valley guys? Most of the Silicon Valley is in San Mateo County. That's Palo Alto or Redwood City. Let's just douchebag everybody! So they're fancy restaurants there all open there in San Mateo for the Silicon Valley set? Is that a deal? Yeah I'm pretty sure for outdoor dining you can eat in San Mateo County yes. Unreal this is unreal now do you...is there a general feeling in California this is some
04:33 Some kind of Gavin Newsom. Oh, oh, oh! That's the feeling. So they're not angry at Gavin Newsom They're thankful for him locking them up that's what you're saying You got it in Los Angeles these orders including those of Mayor Garcetti are presenting huge problems this video went viral I've tightened it up somewhat this is a restaurant owner in Los Angeles who had created an outdoor restaurant with a little tent over it and some picnic tables right next to her, her restaurant which has been shut down now with these orders. And well if you haven't seen it she sees that 50 feet across the road someone else did get a permit to open up an eating facility! So this is my place the Pineapple Hill Grill & Saloon If you go to my page you can see all the work I did for outdoor dining for tables being seven feet apart
