Anyone who wants to eat, drink or exercise indoors in San Francisco will be required to show they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, when one of the nation's most stringent restrictions on unvaccinated people takes effect.
Restaurant and bar owners said they've contacted people who reserved tables to remind them of the new rule that begins Friday, and plan to have extra staff at the front door to verify people's proof of vaccination, making sure it matches their identity cards. "There's definitely some anxiety around how it's all going to work," said Pete Sittnick, a managing partner of Waterbar and EPIC Steak restaurants on the city's waterfront.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
