Case rates are inaccurate since everyone is using home tests. And there can still be adverse affects that don’t involve hospitalization or death. Being sick (and losing income from days off at work) sucks.

Nope, GFY. Tenants deserve attorneys if all the landlords have them, but the implementation was not thoughtful

Maybe lawmakers should have considered what “right to counsel” would actually mean before implementation. We don’t have a fleet of robot attorneys ready to represent tenants.
This was bound for failure because they assumed that the right to counsel in criminal court would just translate to housing court - meanwhile, the two practices are extremely different.

The point is that it’s appropriate for the city to advise caution, even if rates for hospitalizations and deaths aren’t necessarily surging.
