Your Weekly News from the La Mesa Chamber
|
|
As you drive around our City you can see tents and tables and chairs “popping up.” Local restaurants are committed to keeping their doors open during the pandemic. The order that no longer allows for in-restaurant dining, due to our COVID-19 statistics, has stimulated new creativity among our restaurant owners. It is refreshing to meet these owners and/or dine at their outdoor locations to let them know we appreciate their efforts and support them. We take our “hats off” to our local businesses that continue to keep their doors open during these challenging times!

The County of San Diego has hired case investigators to help with contact tracing in our area. With the increase in testing, which automatically increases the number of positive cases, tracing is now extremely important and a way of life. Contact tracing and investigation plays an important role in public health response to infections. By tracing the contact of COVID-19, testing them for infections, treating the cases, and then tracing their contact will reduce the infections within the population.
JOB ANNOUNCEMENT:
The County of San Diego has immediate openings for Temporary Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) that will be part of the new T3 (Test, Trace & Treat) Program whose objective is to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Duties will involve providing skilled nursing care to individuals that are either COVID-19 confirmed, or that may exhibit symptoms. Go to the
County of San Diego website for more information or to apply.
REMINDER:
The Statewide Public Health Order does not have a time frame. When the County is taken off the monitoring list, the County will work fast to reopen businesses as quickly as can be done.
PERSONAL CARE SERVICES PERFORMED OUTDOORS:
Businesses will have to get approval from licensing entities to work outdoors. Letters of support are being sent to the state to ease restrictions.
|
PET GROOMING SERVICES:
Pet grooming services are not in the new Public Health Order so they can continue to operate.
TRAVELING TO CALIFORNIA/QUARANTINE:
The state is strongly discouraging non-essential travel. There is currently no need for an individual to self-quarantine after traveling, unless they have traveled internationally from a country designed “Level 2.”
|
INDOOR MALLS:
Big indoor malls that are enclosed must be closed. Stores in malls with exterior doors can stay open and be treated using retail store guidance.
OUTDOOR MALLS:
Yes, stores in outdoor malls are able to operate.
All essential businesses that allow members of the public to enter a facility must prepare and post a
Social Distancing and Sanitation Protocol. This should be reviewed with employees but does not need to be submitted to the county.

San Diegans to Take Part in Moderna’s Vaccine Trial
|
From San Diego to St. Louis to Savannah, researchers are gearing up for
Moderna’s 30,000-person COVID-19 vaccine trial, to begin on July 27th. Many hope that a safe and effective vaccine will control the spread of the worse pandemic in a century and bring life back to some semblance of normalcy. Moderna’s trial will take place at 87 sites across 30 states and Washington, D.C. It’s the first large-scale COVID-19 vaccine trial in the United States. Three of California’s seven trial sites are here in San Diego County, with locations in La Jolla, La Mesa and San Diego. The local sites expect to enroll more than 1,000 people, but to do that, they’ll need San Diegans to sign up. The company’s vaccine uses a molecule called messenger RNA to teach the body to target the surface of the novel coronavirus. There are two main ways the immune system can do that. One is through antibodies – Y shaped proteins that can grab onto a virus and block it from infection cells. The other is through T cells, which can destroy infected cells. If successful, Moderna’s vaccine would be the first-ever of its kind. Moderna is one of the drug developers selected for Operation Warp Speed, the U.S. government’s bid to deliver 300 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine by January. Eligible candidates must be high-risk for COVID-19 or have a higher-than-average chance of being exposed to the virus based on where you live or work. But you can’t already have been infected.

UCSD Using Volunteers to Test COVID-19 Treatment
|

|
The
University of California San Diego is looking for volunteers for trial of an experimental treatment that could temporarily transfer immunity from the blood of COVID-19 survivors to those at risk of getting infected. These treatments, known as plasma therapies, are already being used in hospitals locally, as well as nationwide to treat COVID-19. Collectively, the trials will enroll 487 volunteers nationwide. The administrator is hoping for 25 participants in San Diego. The team are looking for adults who are at risk of COVID-19 based on their age, exiting health conditions or work in healthcare. They want people who are not infected with the coronavirus and haven’t been infected before; those that sign up will be screened and tested to make sure they check all of those boxes. The hope is that those who receive survivor plasma are less likely to test positive or get sick.

UC San Diego Inovio Awarded $71M For Vaccine Device
|
Inovio Pharmaceuticals received $71M from the U.S. Department of Defense to scale up manufacturing of its proprietary device for injecting its COVID-19 vaccine candidate into the skin. The company began Phase 1 human clinical trials in April for its DNA-based vaccine. Inovio is based in Pennsylvania but developed its COVID-19 vaccine in San Diego at its research lab. It expects to enter Phase2/3 trials for the vaccine in July or August. DNA-based vaccine technology is relatively new, and it requires a different delivery method than he traditional injection or shot. The device operates on AA batteries, uses brief electrical pulses that allow DNA vaccines to enter the skin cells. The device has been used on more than 2,000 patients with 7,000 injections of various Inovio DNA-based medicines. The DOD contract will support Inovio’s efforts to deliver potentially hundreds of millions of doses of its experimental vaccine next year.

CalciMedica’s Medication Shows Early Promise in Treating COVID-19 Patients
|
San Diego biotech CalciMedica announced that an experimental drug it is testing to help COVID-19 patients stay off ventilators and recover sooner shows early signs of achieving those goals. The key word is early. Results from the trial of 30 COVID-19 patients, 20 received the anti-inflammatory drug and 10 didn’t, are still being reviewed by a scientific journal. Patients that received the drug had a median recovery time of five days-meaning that half of the patients took five or more days to recover, while half recovered within five days. Median recovery time for those who didn’t get the drug was 12 days. Half of the severe COVID-19 patients who didn’t receive the drug ended up on a ventilator, compared to 18 percent of those treated. CalciMedica’s small molecule drug blocks signals that make blood vessels in the lungs leaky. The idea is to stop the deadly spiral of airway inflammation that some COVID-19 patients experience when their lungs fill with dead cells and fluid. If all goes well, the company could have results by early 2021 and would have a follow-up conversation with the FDA about whether the results warrant an Emergency Use Authorization that would allow the drug to be administered during the pandemic.

San Diego County Property Valued at Record $604B
|
The value of land in San Diego has never been higher. San Diego County’s assessed value of all taxable property - including residential, commercial and industrial land – is now $604.75 billion, the Assessor’s Office stated. County Assessor Ernie Dronenburg credited the 1978 Proposition 13 as a reason for steady increases. Proposition 13 caps increases at 2 percent annually based on the purchase price at the time of the sale. Property values have continued to increase since 1990. The Great Recession caused property values to drop 2.31 percent in 2009, and 1.56 in 2010. Residential properties make up the majority of taxable land in the county with 936,884 parcels. It is followed by commercial with 27,087 parcels, industrial with 11,233 parcels and recreational with 15,319. The majority of taxes collected, around 45 percent, went to schools in the last fiscal year in San Diego County.

Renewed Sales at
Big 5 Sporting Goods
|
Big 5 Sporting Goods is seeing a resurgence in its business since reopening stress.

However, the metric climbed 15.5 percent in the second half of the quarter as store began reopening.

Delta Airlines Hit By Virus
|
Delta Airlines lost $5.7 billion in the second quarter, as the coronavirus pandemic crushed air travel. A hoped-for travel recovery that began slowly in mid-April has been smothered by a resurgence in U.S. infections especially in the South and West. The number of passengers tumbled 93 percent from a year earlier, revenue plummeted 88 percent.

Rose Parade Cancelled
Due to Pandemic
|
The 2021 Rose Parade has been cancelled because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the risk of spreading infections. Since its inception in 1891, the parade has only not occurred during the wartime years of 1942, 1943 and 1945. Thousands of spectators normally jam the 5-mile parade route through Pasadena, some camping out overnight on sidewalks to ensure a good view. The January 1st Rose Bowl football game would be a college football playoff semifinal.

Tesla Makes $104M Profit Despite Shutdown of Factory in Fremont
|
Tesla overcame a seven-week pandemic-related shutdown at its U.S. assembly plant to post a surprising $104 million net profit for the second quarter. It was the company’s fourth-straight positive quarter, qualifying it to be included in the S&P 500 index of corporate titans. Local government restrictions forced the electric car and solar panel maker to close its only U.S. assembly factory in Fremont, CA from March 23 to May 11. The company paid roughly 10,000 workers for part of the shutdown and continued health care and other benefits. Tesla also said it has picked the Austin, Texas area as the site for its second U.S. assembly plant. Austin was the front runner, but Tulsa, Oklahoma was a possibility. The assembly plant will be employing at least 5,000 workers. The new factory will build Tesla’s upcoming Cybertruck pickup and will be a second U.S. manufacturing site for the Model Y small SUV, largely for distribution to the East Coast. Tesla will build on a 2,100-acre site in Travis County near Austin and will get more than $60 million in tax breaks from the county and a local school district over the next decade. Work on the plant, which will be over 4 million square feet, is already underway.

$8M Mission Valley
Restaurant Debuts
|
Puesto Cerveceria is now open! Two years in the making, the new 10,000 square-foot venue, which in normal times would have seating capacity for 450 diners inside and out, is making do with 100 seats in its parking lot as it geared up to add 50 more socially distanced on two patios. The entire Puesto team of 150 people were hired and trained even as the pandemic stopped in-house dining. The restaurant family-owned, known for its Mexico City-style tacos, mariscos and shared plates, occupies the former home of Gordon Biersch Brewery and is the largest of the seven Puesto locations in California. It is the first to feature a craft brewery, focusing on Mexican lagers. The Mission Valley restaurant has put together an ambitious craft cocktail program that includes margaritas on draft and seasonal cocktails that can draw from a selection of more than 70 tequilas, 50 mezcals, and 300 spirits. The restaurant also features a four-tiered, custom-designed hydraulic bar that allows the bartenders to access 3,000 pounds of liquor at the push of a button.

Starbucks Adds Plant-Based
Meat to Menu
|
Starbucks is adding plant-based meat to its U.S. menu for the first time. The coffee chain will add a breakfast sandwich made with imitation sausage from Impossible Foods, to be available at a majority of its U.S. restaurants. The sandwich comes with egg and cheese and is served in a ciabatta bun. This is in line with Starbucks's statement that it would add plant-based meat worldwide to its menus in an effort to reduce its environmental impact. The company has sold milk alternatives, such as soy milk and oat milk, but the sausage is its first plant-based item in the U.S.

U.S. Retail Sales Increase
7.5% in June
|
U.S. retail sales climbed a solid 7.5 percent in June, a sign that the economy was healing right before infections from the coronavirus spiked again and dragged down hopes for a steady recovery. Retail sales are higher than their levels from a year ago, after a brutal plunge in March and April was offset by a decent rebound in May and June. The report by the Census Bureau shows how shoppers and businesses are adjusting to life in a pandemic, changing their habits in hopes of halting an illness that can quickly flare up and wreak financial havoc. Non-store sales, which includes online shopping – slumped 2.4 percent over the past month but are 23.5 percent higher from a year ago. Spending at restaurants and bars jumped 20 percent last month, but it’s still down 26.3 percent from last year. Sales at clothiers more than doubled between May and June, yet they’ve collapsed 23.2 percent from a year ago. Shoppers have shifted their spending and not only to online retailers. Sales at building materials stores were up 17.3 percent annually. Stores in the sporting goods, musical instrument, books and hobbies categories have enjoyed yearly growth of 20.6 percent. Purchases at grocers have increased 11.7 percent over the past year.

"Most consumers (59%) think that being active in the local chamber of commerce is an effective business strategy overall. It is 29% more effective, however, for communicating to consumers that a
company uses good business practices and 26% more effective for communicating that a business is reputable."
Quoted from "The Real Value of Joining a Local Chamber of Commerce"
Not only do we provide members a physical plaque to display at their place of business, we also provide a way to further brand your business by providing a Virtual Plaque to display right on your website. Membership in a chamber of commerce has come to signify corporate citizenship and excellence, and your website is your storefront to the consumer and the world. Just place it on your website with a link back to
www.lamesachamber.com or to your personal business page in our directory.
