California beaches packed with thousands despite COVID-19 concerns.
Tens of thousands of people visited southern California beaches during the weekend. It reignited the fears that large crowds in public spaces may reverse progress to contain COVID-19 in the US. Photos of gatherings in Newport Beach, Orange County, during a weekend heatwave, sparked intense backlash, and comparisons with Florida were released.
Beach and park reopenings have also prompted debates and public health concerns in Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and other regions looking to re-emerge from lockdowns. The governor urged beach-goers to practice physical distancing, but it all went unheard during the weekend.
Before COVID-19, building dense cities was California’s cure for the housing crisis.
In the last ten years, the lawmakers in California pushed with increasing urgency to build more housing near transit stops and job centres. The reason was the increasing density of the population. It was termed as the best way to control the exploding cost of living and reduce the reliance of residents on carbon-spewing vehicles in a state best known for its sprawling suburbs. However, no one thought of preparing the state for a pandemic like COVID-19.
Sceptics of greater urbanization say the pandemic has proved that they were right all along, pointing to orders from public health officials to use social distancing to slow the spread of the virus. New York City, the nation’s densest major city, is a hotbed of the outbreak in the United States with more than 150,000 confirmed cases and 11,100 deaths.
Gov Cuomo hinted lockdown extension after a study revealed 25% of NYC residents COVID-19 positive.
A recent antibody study that was done on 7.500 people suggested that 25% of people in New York City had COVID-19 infection. After learning about the report, Governor Andrew Cuomo hinted in a statement that he would expert New York lockdown for many parts of the state beyond May 15 May.
He was likely referring to New York City, where 150,000 people have been infected with over 11,000 reported deaths. As per the report, more than 2 million residents might have become infected at some point, and the death rate is 0.5 per cent. Mayor Bill de Blasio says he plans to have a 'road map' to reopening by June 1Jun and that it could involve more restaurants adding outdoor tables.

Przedsibiorcy, którzy maj zalegoci w paceniu nalenych skadek ZUS, mog mie problem z uzyskaniem zwolnienia przewidzianego w tarczy antykryzysowej. Zwolnienie nie przysuguje tym, którzy od 12 miesicy nie odprowadzaj skadek. Zwolnienie ze skadek ZUS dla zaduonych przedsibiorców jest jednak moliwe pod pewnymi warunkami. Zwolnienie ze skadek ZUS jest jednym ze sposobów, w jaki pastwo pomaga przedsibiorcom zmagajcych si z gospodarczymi konsekwencjami epidemii. Innym, równie popularnym jest poyczka dla przedsibiorców. Jednym z warunków ubiegania si o zwolnienie ze skadek jest brak zalegoci w dotychczasowym ich opacaniu. Zwolnienie ze skadek ZUS dla zaduonych przedsibiorców jest jednak moliwe pod pewnymi wyjtkami, o czym przypomina sam Zakad. Zasad jest, e przedsibiorcy posiadajcy zaduenie w opacaniu skadek przekraczajce 12 miesicy, nie mog wnioskowa o zwolnienie przewidziane przez ustawy antykryzysowe. Pod uwag bierze si stan na dzie 31 grudnia 2019 r. Tego problemu nie maj przedsibiorcy, którzy skadek nie opacali przez krótszy czas. Wynika to z tego, e wedug opinii Komisji Europejskiej zwolnienie ze skadek jest pomoc publiczn. Taka pomoc jest dopuszczalna, ale obwarowana licznymi warunkami. Te s konieczne, aby pastwo traktowao przedsibiorców sprawiedliwie i nie faworyzowao niektórych kosztem innych. Zgodnie z opini KE zwolnienie z opacania nalenoci z tytuu skadek, stanowi pomoc publiczn. Ta pomoc moe by udzielona wycznie przedsibiorcy, który na dzie 31 grudnia 2019 r. nie znajdowa si w trudnej sytuacji, ale dopiero póniej napotka trudnoci z powodu epidemii COVID-19. Od kadej zasady s pewne wyjtki. Nie inaczej jest w przypadku przedsibiorców, których zaduenie w patnoci skadek przekracza wskazany powyej termin 12 miesicy. Zwolnienie ze skadek ZUS dla zaduonych przedsibiorców jest moliwe przy spenieniu jednego warunku. Jest nim wczeniejsze podpisanie ugody z Zakadem Ubezpiecze Spoecznych odnonie ratalnej spaty zaduenia. Taka ugoda musiaa by jednak podpisana przed 31 grudnia 2019 r. Z pomocy moe skorzysta przedsibiorca, który wprawdzie mia na 31 grudnia 2019 r. zaduenie za okres równy lub duszy ni 12 miesicy, ale rozoy dug na raty, podpisujc z Zakadem odpowiedni umow (przed 31 grudnia 2019 r.) – czytamy w komunikacje ZUS. Tarcza antykryzysowa 2.0 przewiduje równie moliwo ubiegania si o zwolnienie dla przedsibiorców zatrudniajcych od 10 do 49 pracowników. W ich przypadku zwolnienie dotyczy jedynie 50% kwoty wykazywanych skadek. Pod uwag nie bierze si jednak zatrudnionych modocianych pracowników. Zwolnienie przysuguje równie firmom zaoonym w lutym i marcu tego roku.
