SF’s Historic 157-Year Old Cliff House is Closing Permanently

Unfortunately, Cliff House just broke the sad news that they will be closing their doors at the end of the year. Their last day is December 31, 2020.

The closure is only partly due to the pandemic. The Cliff House points blame at the National Park Service for delaying a long term concession contact. The current proprietors have been operating the restaurants for over 47 years, four years before it became part of the National Park System.

Sadly, there won’t be any last meals served at the restaurant. The Cliff House, perched atop Ocean Beach, attempted takeout service for about 10 weeks during the pandemic, but decided it wasn’t viable.

Health officials warn SF may run of ICU bed by December 27 if we don’t slow the spread

If the Covid-19 numbers continue to escalate at the current rate, the ICU capacity will be maxed out by December 27.

As of December 10, there were 123 Covid-19 patients across San Francisco, with 30 of those in the ICU. Unfortunately, San Francisco is encountering its highest surge to date with numbers climbing higher and higher due to the recent Thanksgiving holiday.

SF is averaging 140 new cases per day vs October saw only 34 cases. The recent surge is happening statewide; California’s hospital beds are already at 75% capacity. If the trend continues, not only will we be out of hospital beds, but there also won’t be enough doctors and nurses to care for the patients, nor anywhere to transfer patients.

The situation is dire, so we must slow the spread and continue to Stay-At-Home, wear masks, and keep your distance.
