In answer to several of the recent posts....we are not in lock down!!! Now who is exaggerating and who is fear mongering about the economy? We can't eat at indoor restaurants, we can't see a movie, and we can't get a massage/facial. Everything else is up and running though not like we are used to seeing it. Yes small businesses have been hit but many of them were in a slow burn because of the increase in online shopping. Covid just spead up the burn. There are many online businesses that have exploded with revenue because of COVID. One of my client's just hired an additional 120 people or 20% more employees.
Ironic that many of the people that continually have said the news and people were using fear mongering to make the case for COVID are the same people using fearing mongering on how bad the economy is and why we need to open back to normal (We are open people!!!!!)
Here is the consumer spending in Orange County...

IMO, youth sports will not go back to any sense of normalcy for a very long time unless some group starts fighting for it. I really believe we are not playing sports to the normal level because we are at the bottom of the list of priorities of building guidance and they are severely limited on resources. Not a good reason but none the less I believe the reason. Although, I do know for a fact that 40 cases were traced to a softball game in another State not California and that has never come out in the news.
