I don’t know how any business can stay afloat when at any minute, through no fault of their own, they can be degraded to a lower color category.

Since some of Newsoms people have tested positive for the virus. maybe State government should totally close down because a couple people have the virus. That sure would set an example if they really consider their policy is fair.

How long can businesses stay in business if they keep going from purple to red and back to purple?
