Hopefully both open by end of october
Any fresh news on that front ?
Los Angeles and San Francisco will confirm tomorrow if they are reopening
Laidback I don't think thats true, it would be the Tuesday after on Oct the 6th, they have to hold their numbers for 2 weeks and then the Californian health authorities decide.
'Los Angeles County health officials confirmed on Tuesday the county meets the criteria to move into a less-restrictive phase of the California’s economic-reopening roadmap. But there’s a catch.
The county must maintain those numbers for two consecutive weeks before the state will move it out of the most-restrictive “purple” tier and into the slightly less onerous “red” tier.'

So does 'two consecutive weeks' include the first week, or is it two further week ? Its a technical question
In any case, numbers need to pass tomorrow for reopening
I'm not 100% sure but I think they met their numbers from around last Tues, so by tomororow will have done the first week of the 2 weeks assuming numbers are the same so if they kept it for the second week they would reopen tues the 6th.
Laidback, I believe Cinema are already open in San Francisco. In the below link if you put county and activity (movie theatres) it shows san francisco is open 25% capacity.

Johnny I think San Fran are allowed to open by Californian authorities but their local leaders are very cautious so are only opening at 25% when they are allowed to open at 50%. So by next Tues the 6th the might be allowed to move to orange 50% tier by California, which would potentially be when they decide to open at 25%.
hosai
so numbers need to pass tomorrow and Oct 6th
Los Angeles ,home of Hollywood, opening is massive news - how may movie theatres is that ?
Thanks for clarifying Hosai
cheers johnny
cheers hosai
Yeah Laidback it will a big step...my worry is more NY than LA.
There was interesting video about covid which basically showed it had actually followed a similar pattern to seasonal flu in the sense that Eastern US like most of Europe has an increase of virus' in the winter whereas Southern US and Western tends to follow a different pattern because it's closer to the equator. It has a long flatter curve, which is basically what we saw happen aswell with covid.
This would indicate in LA it would now continue to go down but there might be an uptick in NY like with Europe, atleast with cases not so much with deaths this time. The worry is Cuomo has based his entire policy around cases as opposed to deaths. Hopefully he becomes more flexible on this.
If you watch this video at 20:38 it explains this effect. Obviously this is just one persons ideas though - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UvFhIFzaac&t=1175s
Im pretty sure NY will reopen by end October ... pressure is building up on Cuomo
