OUR STORY last week about Quail Lodge receiving a sizable PPP loan was incorrect. While the Carmel Valley resort is listed as a loan recipient in data released by the SBA, Quail Lodge general manager Kai Lermen said the company had been approved for a PPP loan but decided not to take it and never received any PPP money. “We felt that local small businesses were in greater need of the fed- eral assistance,” Lermen said. Last week we also incorrectly reported that a Mon- terey County Superior Court judge had required Carmel Unified School District to allow the public to comment in real time during school board meetings after a man filed a lawsuit against CUSD for only allowing written comments during the meetings. CUSD chief technology officer Paul Behan said this week that the school district had agreed to allow parents to comment at the meetings via telephone, but a judge did not require the district to do so.

GIVE GAVIN Newsom credit. At least he’s trying to keep the economy open. His announcement Monday that gyms and hair salons had to close again came as a grave shock to the people who own and work in such establish- ments. Likewise, the gut punch that hit restaurant owners and workers last week. Measured broadly, a functioning economy is one of the most vital com- ponents of what we call “civilization.” Newsom obviously comprehends this; otherwise, he never would have done what most left-wing politicians and their media allies are condemning as “reopening too soon.” And when you get down to the retail level of the noodle shop on the corner, or the martial arts place at the mall, closing down means lost wages, rent not paid, investments lost, and dreams snuffed out. We think Newsom gets that, too. The governor also has a public to deal with that, even after all these months, still has its collective head stuffed with all sorts of misconceptions about what sheltering in place and social distancing were supposed to ac- complish. Many thousands of people right here in the Monterey Peninsula are sitting at home thinking the “science and data” we keep hearing about mean we should be staying on lockdown until the virus has gone away. Never mind that the virus that’s called SARS-CoV-2, and the disease it causes, Covid-19, will be with us for years, if not decades. Even the most optimistic scenario of a widely administered, highly effective vaccine would “And this one will get you crying over selling your house too soon.” only lead to the coronavirus being controlled.
