Orange County restaurants and shops reopen despite statewide orders

Stopping by Nomads Canteen in San Clemente at lunchtime on Saturday felt a bit like jumping in a time machine and going back two months, before the coronavirus pandemic shuttered businesses across the country and changed life for everyone.

Dozens of diners sat at tables on the sunny deck or inside around the beach-themed bar, toasting margaritas and enjoying poke bowls. People stood a foot or two from each other, waiting for tables to open up. And almost no one, from the staff to the customers, wore masks.

Nomads Canteen is one of the most high-profile examples of an Orange County business that’s reopened in recent days, despite ongoing orders from Gov. Gavin Newsom that restaurants only offer to-go orders and that other businesses that haven’t been declared “essential” remain shut down to slow the spread of the virus.

That's like saying people are told to keep distance 2 meters, but so many people walk by each other like 1 meter. This is the lottery of death. Maybe you get it, maybe you don't.
