A New Year of Uncertainty Details RANTZ & RAVEZ-Hello and happy 2021 to all Rantz & RaveZ readers. Well, we made it through another year in spite of the COVID-19 factors that have changed our lives and imposed restrictions which we will continue to live under into the future. It is unknown when we will be able to return to a “normal” life and enjoy the freedom to travel without restrictions, dine at restaurants, and gather with friends and neighbors. The first case relating to the COVID-19 pandemic in the state of California was confirmed on January 26, 2020. A state of emergency has been in place since March 4, 2020 and a mandatory statewide stay-at-home order was issued on March 19, 2020. Safety guidelines and restrictions were issues for all of us. We were all instructed to wear a mask when we venture out of your residence, wait in line to enter a store where the maximum capacity of shoppers is 20%, stand six feet apart, wash hands often, and dine in your car or have a tailgate experience when you go to a restaurant where you now can only buy take-out food. Some states – like California -- are more restricted than others.
