The nuances of the new laws aside, for economists to debate, the protests find synergy with non-farming Indian citizens, too, because of the way these laws have been passed — in the midst of the pandemic; the way in which the stakeholders most affected, farmers, were never consulted; and in the way their protests, since September, but in their home state of Punjab, away from New Delhi, have been entirely ignored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Modi government has easily shrugged, saying farmers are resisting needed changes for the often touted “development” in Modi’s story of India.

Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced a sweeping new regional stay-at-home order that will force the shutdown of many businesses and activities in vast regions across California where hospital intensive care units are nearing capacity due to soaring COVID-19 rates.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Gov. Gavin Newsom\"]'If we don't act now, we'll continue to see the death rate climb — more lives lost. And that's why today ... we are pulling that emergency brake.'[/pullquote]Health officials, Newsom said, will track ICU capacity in five regions, designated as the Bay Area, Northern California, the greater Sacramento region, the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order will go into effect for an entire region — for at least three weeks — when its ICU beds are more than 85% full.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The bottom line is, if we don't act now, our hospital system will be overwhelmed,\" Newsom said at a press briefing. \"If we don't act now, we'll continue to see the death rate climb — more lives lost. And that's why today ... we are pulling that emergency brake.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents in regions where the order is imposed will technically be required to stay at home as much as possible in an effort to reduce transmission of the virus. The order also mandates the closure, within 48 hours, of a wide swath of businesses and activities, akin to those forced to close during the first statewide shutdown in March. Businesses that must close when the order is triggered include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Hair salons\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Indoor recreation centers\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Movie theaters\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bars and wineries\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Personal care services\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Museums\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Indoor and outdoor playgrounds\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Restaurants will only be allowed to offer take-out and delivery service – even outdoor dining will be prohibited – and occupancy at grocery stores and other retail outlets will be reduced to 20% capacity. Additionally, the order restricts all nonessential travel, and requires that hotels and other lodging be reserved for essential workers. Houses of worship must also cease all indoor operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the order currently stands, K-12 schools and day care centers that are already offering in-person learning can continue to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CAgovernor/status/1334641978730921985\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the five regions currently meet the threshold to trigger the order, Newsom said, but most are projected to reach it within days. In the Bay Area, the order will likely take effect by mid- to late-December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement comes just two weeks after Newsom implemented a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11848109/new-california-curfew-applies-to-most-bay-area-counties\">more limited curfew\u003c/a> restricting many nonessential activities and business operations across much of the state between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Similar to that action, and the first shutdown order in March, enforcement of this newest mandate will remain largely in the hands of local authorities. Newsom warned, though, as he did repeatedly in the spring, that the state would withhold money from counties that refused to enforce the rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Individual counties will be eligible to emerge from their regional order after three weeks if their hospital ICU capacity, projected 4 weeks out — increases to at least 15%, at which point they will go back to the \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/#county-status\">color-coded reopening tier system\u003c/a> the state has been using. But the chances of that happening anytime soon is slim, Newsom said, anticipating that the entire state will likely remain under the order into early 2021. \"Not just three weeks, but likely next month, month and a half, maybe as much as two months,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the order in March, this newest directive allows parks and beaches to remain open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not naive about the pressure and stress that you’re under,\" Newsom said, urging people to participate in outside activities to the extent they safely can. \"We encourage you to take your dog for a walk. We want you to exercise and go on a run with a partner within your household. ... Take a bike ride. Go fishing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/passantino/status/1334598768642183173?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement comes amid an alarming new surge of COVID-19 cases in California — along with the rest of the country — that threaten to overwhelm the health care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last seven days, there has been an average of more than 15,000 new, daily infections reported statewide, far outpacing the rate during previous surges. And those figures, Newsom noted, don't account for the impacts of Thanksgiving travel and gatherings. Roughly 12% of new cases will likely require hospitalization over a two-week period, which could cause a spike in new hospital admissions across the state and quickly strain intensive care units, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deaths from the virus in California have also shot up in recent weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"stay-at-home\"]\"A month ago, on Nov. 2, we reported the tragic loss of 14 lives related to this pandemic,\" Newsom said. \"In the last 24 hours, similar to the previous 24 hours, we reported back-to-back days with 113 deaths.\" The virus, he noted, has already claimed the lives of more than 19,400 Californians since March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nation’s leading infectious disease specialist threw his support behind Newsom's order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, told KQED’s Political Breakdown podcast Thursday that he consulted with California health authorities ahead of the announcement. He called it “a prudent and correct decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason is that you are all on a brink, literally on the threshold of the almost unimaginable situation of getting the health care system overrun,\" Fauci said. \"You just can’t let that happen. That is unimaginable and unacceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I spoke to some of [Newsom's] health people, and I said I would back them in that decision. So I certainly back what the governor is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fauci warned that while hospitals across the nation are already filling up, we have not “seen the full brunt of what we expect to be yet again, another surge ... Hopefully a mini-surge, as opposed to a major one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acknowledging the heavy financial and emotional burden the new order places on scores of Californians, Newsom urged small businesses to take advantage of a series of new \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/business-and-employers/\">tax relief measures\u003c/a> intended to help soften the blow of the restrictions, including an automatic three-month extension for taxpayers filing less than $1 million in sales tax, and interest-free payment agreements to larger companies that have up to $5 million in taxable sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said the state was also dipping into reserve accounts to make half a billion dollars of additional funds available to small businesses, cultural institutions and nonprofits, offering individual cash grants of up to $25,000. It is also offering a new hiring tax credit — of up to $1,000 per employee and $100,000 per employer, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Dr. Anthony Fauci\"]'[The order is] a prudent and correct decision.

Newsom warned, though, as he did repeatedly in the spring, that the state would withhold money from counties that refused to enforce the rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Individual counties will be eligible to emerge from their regional order after three weeks if their hospital ICU capacity, projected 4 weeks out — increases to at least 15%, at which point they will go back to the \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/#county-status\">color-coded reopening tier system\u003c/a> the state has been using. But the chances of that happening anytime soon is slim, Newsom said, anticipating that the entire state will likely remain under the order into early 2021. \"Not just three weeks, but likely next month, month and a half, maybe as much as two months,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the order in March, this newest directive allows parks and beaches to remain open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not naive about the pressure and stress that you’re under,\" Newsom said, urging people to participate in outside activities to the extent they safely can. \"We encourage you to take your dog for a walk.

More than 8,500 people have gotten temporary housing in Project Roomkey hotels in the Bay Area to date. Heather Freinkel, a managing attorney for the Homeless Action Center, said there’s just not enough housing to go around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No matter how you look at it, the big picture is the big picture,” Freinkel said, adding that the Bay Area was facing a shortage of affordable housing before the pandemic. “There is not enough permanent housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Santa Clara County: Where People Went After Project Roomkey\" aria-label=\"Bar Chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-zzOPJ\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/zzOPJ/5/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"306\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n[datawrapper]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the low percentage of people who’ve made it into housing so far, Freinkel still thinks Project Roomkey has been a success.

In California, nonessential travel outside of the state was already strongly discouraged by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11847404/newsom-urges-against-out-of-state-travel-advises-quarantine-for-those-who-do\">travel advisory,\u003c/a> which asks people to self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving from another state or country. This state guidance comes on the heels of \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/press-releases/2020/1109-ABAHO-Holiday-Recommendations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recommendations\u003c/a> released by Bay Area health officials, which state that “traveling outside the Bay Area will increase your chance of getting infected and spreading the virus to others after your return.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11846759\"]It’s no surprise that many people are canceling family Thanksgiving plans outright. But for others wanting to research ways to make informed choices about traveling over the holidays, a new map created by a team at the Georgia Institute of Technology aims to show the risk level of attending an event for every county in the United States, based on how many people would be gathering there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://covid19risk.biosci.gatech.edu/\">COVID-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool\u003c/a> allows users to choose an event size and location, and see the percentage risk level that at least one person infected with the coronavirus would be present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a Thanksgiving-sized gathering of 10 people, for example, the map projects that on Nov. 17, the likelihood in San Francisco that one or more people present has COVID-19 is 5%. Across the bay in Alameda County, it’s 4%. In Napa County, the risk jumps to 11%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By default, the map also assumes that there are five times more COVID-19 cases than are actually being reported, based on data from coronavirus antibody surveys as well as increases in testing. (You can also set this assumption — called “ascertainment bias” — to 10:1 rather than 5:1, if you’re curious about areas with far less testing availability).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"map\">\u003c/a>The COVID-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://covid19risk.biosci.gatech.edu/5_10.html\" style=\"position: relative; height: 60vh; width: 95vw; max-width: 992px; max-height: 500px; min-height: 350px; align: center\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This embedded map displays the risk level for a gathering of 10 people, with an ascertainment bias of 5:1.

But for others wanting to research ways to make informed choices about traveling over the holidays, a new map created by a team at the Georgia Institute of Technology aims to show the risk level of attending an event for every county in the United States, based on how many people would be gathering there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://covid19risk.biosci.gatech.edu/\">COVID-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool\u003c/a> allows users to choose an event size and location, and see the percentage risk level that at least one person infected with the coronavirus would be present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a Thanksgiving-sized gathering of 10 people, for example, the map projects that on Nov. 17, the likelihood in San Francisco that one or more people present has COVID-19 is 5%. Across the bay in Alameda County, it’s 4%. In Napa County, the risk jumps to 11%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By default, the map also assumes that there are five times more COVID-19 cases than are actually being reported, based on data from coronavirus antibody surveys as well as increases in testing. (You can also set this assumption — called “ascertainment bias” — to 10:1 rather than 5:1, if you’re curious about areas with far less testing availability).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"map\">\u003c/a>The COVID-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://covid19risk.biosci.gatech.edu/5_10.html\" style=\"position: relative; height: 60vh; width: 95vw; max-width: 992px; max-height: 500px; min-height: 350px; align: center\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This embedded map displays the risk level for a gathering of 10 people, with an ascertainment bias of 5:1.
