I need an outdoor haircut!

Great news. A link to the updated order the story is about would have been useful.

Do we know whether we plan to close Castro to allow for more outdoor dining space? I would love to see that happening.

While I agree with the science behind why we are continuing to re-open slowly I am saddened that Dr. Cody herself isn't following the standards that she has set for the rest of us to follow. Her haircut and highlights are clearly fresh - she doesn't have the same grown out hairdo the rest of us do.

@Kelli, I'm not particularly observant about hair or shoes... But if it possible that she had the hair done in house by a family member? I would be hesitant to use circumstantial evidence to smear a someone who spent their life on public health and choosing a career what had been until this year a really boring and relatively obscure field. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt as she clearly isn't this for the money, attention or power (she could more easily gotten all of those by choosing a different field or job with her background and education)

Is the barber Gavin Newsom has been using for the past several weeks expensive?

She could have a family member do it. My roots and do are fresh thanks to my daughter

Why is the City dragging their feet on closing Castro? Restaurants will not survive with the limited seating as it is now. This is the perfect time to implement a pedestrian only street because you will have to do it anyway when Caltrain is electrified. Have you people never been to Belden place in the City? The whole street is outdoor dining.

@Green Nude Eel - You might enjoy watching the Governor's press conferences. You would notice that his ducktail in back has been growing longer, and you would enjoy the stories about having his family cut his hair. Fortunately, his "style" isn't that tricky. I would think that anyone could achieve that with enough gel. Good luck!

I'm glad that things are reopening. I'd just like to remind my neighbors that, while it might feel like this coronavirus thing is winding down, it's very likely that there are more contagious people today then there were in March when we started shelter-in-place. Now is not the time to get careless. Practicing physical distancing and wearing masks could literally save hundreds of thousands of lives and millions of awful bouts of illness. We're all in this together!

Dine out, Downtown Mountain View regulation update.

It's okay to protest (social distancing and face masks recommended but not required). But, under no circumstances can six dine out together if a member refuses a "substantial meal" according to Dr. Cody and the city of Mountain View. Maybe that 6th member just ate or doesn't care for the food or has a food related allergy. But that one member was told they couldn't stay seated without ordering a "substantial meal". Plain stupid. Let the restaurants decide if any member in the party can refuse food service and would rather enjoy time with family eating outdoors. Restaurants, their employees will continue to suffer under this inane state/county/city regulation.

Restaurants can survive (maybe), but we are not dining together again until the crisis is "declared officially" over. Such nonsense, now every person in the group has to eat a certain amount of food to be seated outside. Absolutely ridiculous and a serious over-reach from out county/city leadership.

If this is not the case, I would certainly like to know. Perhaps just misguided restaurant management?
