Mayor Strickland posted a COVID-19 update<\/a> yesterday, in which he said, “I believe we are at a critical point in our fight against this virus.” With case numbers, positivity rates, and hospitalizations continuing to rise, I get the feeling that although he doesn’t want to, Strickland may now be considering a roll back to Phase 1, or imposing additional restrictions on some businesses in Phase 2.<\/p>\n

A rollback may indeed be necessary to make people understand this is serious business. Both businesses I frequented yesterday require masks, and the mask ordinance is now in effect, yet I would estimate that 60% of the people who came in those businesses had to be told to put a mask on. I can’t figure out if people don’t read the news and therefore didn’t know about the ordinance, or if they knew and just didn’t care.<\/p>\n

Alcenia’s has made the national news<\/a> for the second time in a month. They were on CBS Sunday Morning.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine who just did his first gig as a tour guide for Segway Memphis<\/a>. He recommended the scavenger hunts to people who know Downtown landmarks well, and said you have the chance to win $1000 in photography and artwork.<\/p>\n

If you plan on traveling anytime soon, this free online AAA map<\/a> shows where there are restrictions.<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies will distribute 20,000 BELIEVE MEMPHIS face masks<\/a> beginning today. If you live Downtown, Bass Pro at the Pyramid is the place to get yours.<\/p>\n

That’s the news for now. Everyone remember to mask up when you’re in public so we can avoid going back to Phase 1. Back tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
