Cambridge florist’s truck broken into after delivering meals to frontline coronavirus medical workers - Boston Herald
Sunday, July 05, 2020It’s just very frustrating,” Jackie Levine of Central Square Florist said of the truck break-in. “It’s bad regardless when people do this, but it’s even worse now.“It just hits harder because we’re already stressed out that we’re not open,” she said. “We don’t need this kind of frustration.”They’re on pace to deliver about 4,000 meals to medical workers this week. They’ve been working with the group Off Their Plate to deliver meals to Boston Medical Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Tufts Medical Center, Brigham And Women’s Hospital, and homeless shelters around the city.“Our biggest concern was getting back out on the road,” Levine said. “We didn’t want to disappoint Off Their Plate.”Even with the broken window, they still delivered lunch meals on Wednesday.“We had to,” Levine said. “It was a little chilly driving, but at least it wasn’t raining.”The truck’s window is expected to be fixed by Thursday.Only an old iPhone was stolen, Levine said.“They left all the disinfectant wipes, which are worth a lot right now,” she said before chuckling. “That was surprising.”Levine spoke to a police officer, who took down their information about the incident. The officer told her that despite a lack of people around, there has been an uptick in break-ins. Thieves recently broke into nurses’ cars at Boston Children’s Hospital.“Maybe people think they can get away with things when no one is looking,” Levine said.Since Central Square Florist posted about the incident on Twitter, they’ve heard from various people in the community. https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/04/15/cambridge-florists-truck-broken-into-overnight-theyve-been-delivering-meals-to-medical-workers/

Around East County: Don’t forget area small businesses still open - East Bay Times
Sunday, July 05, 2020The business had even closed up shop for a few days before receiving a notice from the California Association of Flower Growers and Shippers, which sent out news that as agriculture-based businesses, florists could indeed keep operating hours with a few safety restrictions.“This was good news, as we wanted to find a way to help bring brightness to everyone’s day,” said Denise Grace, an employee for the small business. “Everyone has been supportive of us remaining open.”Part of the process of staying open means keeping up social distancing practices. While not allowing customers into the shop to see their assortment of flowers is a little difficult, much of Good Scents’ business can be done online or over the phone. They have an extensive website with pictures of available flower arrangements.“People usually order flowers through our website or phone in orders for deliveries to relatives and friends during regular circumstances,” Grace said. “When making deliveries we can call people in advance and see how they want the flowers delivered. Most of the time we can just leave them on the porch without seeing anyone.”Grace explained that they are even waiving local delivery fees to help. Good Scents Florist has reduced their current hours to Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon; call 925-625-5550 for details.

Berkeley Florist Remains Bitter That It Can't Do Curbside Sales While Whole Foods Sells Flowers Next Door - SFist
Sunday, July 05, 2020Governor Gavin Newsom made announcements about curbside retail being allowed to start last Friday, and now 18 rural counties across California are already moving into the second half of Phase 2 in which dine-in restaurants get to reopen. This acceleration is based on the relatively low prevalence of the coronavirus in those counties thus far — and based on their being able to document hospital capacity to handle a potential surge in cases, if it comes.As one Yuba County resident told a reporter last week, upon the reopening of a shopping mall there in defiance of the state, "It’s always the big box stores that can stay open, and not the small ones."Last week, Ms. Simon told a reporter from ABC 7 that she planned to reopen Ashby Flowers for curbside pickups on May 8 along with other florists in the state just in time for Mother's Day, in defiance of Alameda County. But she later relented and chose to remain closed.In announcing the loosening of retail restrictions in his county on Wednesday, San Mateo County health officer Dr. Scott Morrow said, "The virus continues to circulate in our community, and this increase in interactions among people is likely to spread the virus at a higher rate. Whether these modifications allow the virus to spread out of control, as we saw in February and March and resulted in the first shelter in place order, is yet to be seen."As of Thursday morning, San Francisco had 1,999 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with 65 people hospitalized, and Alameda County has 2,178 cases with 79 people hospitalized. San Mateo County has 1,536 cases with 63 in the hospital.Related: Mayor Breed Gives Green Light For Most SF Retail to Open For Curbside Sales and Delivery on MondayPhoto: Facebook... https://sfist.com/2020/05/14/berkeley-florist-bitter-about-curbside-retail-rules/
