The British restaurant and bar in seaside Southern California has been battered the past nine months. “It’s not worth thinking about," said operations manager Lisa Powers, who has guided the 46-year-old institution through an ever-changing set of public health orders. The latest surge comes as public health officials across the U.S. raise the alarm about out-of-control transmission of the virus, strengthen restrictions and urge people against holding large Thanksgiving gatherings. The pub also draws crowds for English soccer and rugby matches that they had to show to limited crowds on the patio. She acknowledged the latest virus numbers didn't look good but maintained a stiff upper lip.
