That was almost two weeks ago now. I am pretty confident Halloween neighborhood or mall trick or treating won't happen in most of the CA coastal counties. Besides how many grandparent types are going to open their doors to greet COVID19...errrr....the kids with COVID19?

FWIW - If you don't like a CDC recommendation just give it a day or two. By then a certain guy in DC will have time to demand a revision a bit more consistent with his view of the situation.

Los Angeles walked back its trick-or-treating ban the day after it was initially announced, replacing the outright ban with a recommendation against trick-or-treating. Still, a ban on Halloween parties, gatherings involving non-family members, and just about every other typical Halloween activity. We typically have over 1500 trick-or-treaters. I still expect a large number, but not our usual non-stop front door to street line of kids. I'm still planning to decorate for Halloween.

Not sure what we'll do. We get over 1,000 kids per Hallowe'en. We're on a street of small houses close to the sidewalk, not all that far from some high density housing, and presto -- 1,000 kids. I don't think we're going to be open for business. I might put a bowl down at the sidewalk with a "please take one" sign...and replace it every 15 minutes or so.

Second, probably not a good idea to have a common point of contact for so many vectors.
Third, if i misread the tone of the previous post please ignore my reply. =)

And there's your answer...
Anyway, the CDC doesn't want people to trick or treat this Hallowe'en, and I don't blame them:
