Now underway in California’s whipsaw approach to living under a pandemic: The Grand Re-closing.

With coronavirus cases climbing ahead of a holiday weekend, Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would unveil new measures today to “tighten things up” in public life. “The framework for us is this: If you’re not going to stay home and you’re not going to wear masks in public, we have to enforce, and we will.” S.F.

“To drive around Los Angeles and its satellite sprawl of smaller cities is to see dozens of reasons why the pandemic is gaining ground.

Creative freelancers have been among the hardest hit by the coronavirus-driven recession.

Other odds and ends:

The archbishop of San Francisco, Salvatore Cordileone, held an exorcism rite with a group of worshippers at the site where protesters tore down a statue of Junipero Serra in Golden Gate Park. “An act of sacrilege occurred here,” he said. “That is an act of the evil one.

Netflix said it would shift 2% of its cash, or roughly $100 million, to financial institutions that focus on black communities.

Advertiser spending accounts for more than 98% of Facebook’s annual $70.7 billion in revenue. Last Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg vowed not to back down in the face of an advertiser revolt over the platform’s handling of hate speech. Now more than 300 companies have joined the boycott. If Facebook doesn’t adapt, one ad executive said, “they’re starting down a long slippery slope to being irrelevant.” N.Y. Times
