2020 疫情中到被打砸搶的華埠買活海鮮 Pandemic Oakland Chinatown

(2/5)我們取消了旅行,從台北飛回舊金山。 上千的人擁擠在機場海關,包括官員沒有人戴著口罩。 後來我才了解到, 當時隱性病例已經在世界上流行了, 這會使美國陷入大麻煩。早期美國官方並不鼓勵戴口罩, 但屋崙華埠人們更習慣戴口罩。從2月以來, 華埠生意大受打擊,直到五月開始暴力示威,許多商店慘遭打砸搶。到了九月中野火煙熏, 華埠又被縱火燃燒(9/16)。On 2/5, we canceled our travels and flew back from Taipei to San Francisco. Thousands of people crowded at airport customs but hardly anyone wore masks, including the officials. Later I realized that this would get USA into big trouble. Business in Oakland Chinatown has been upended since February when fear of the new coronavirus dissuaded customers from visiting the area. In May, violent demonstrations began, many shops in Chinatown were brutally looted. In September, wildfire smoke started and Chinatown was ripped by a 5-alarm fire.

(3/17)居家令開始"Shelter-in-place" started. 2月份疫情已經開始, 華埠生意難做,海鮮開始大減價,螃蟹移到人行道上賣, 搶了3只。北極蝦仍然昂貴,後來再也看不到了。從3月17日開始,政府下居家令"Shelter in Place”3週, 不能出去,除了像買菜一些必要的出門。 所有商店都擠滿了人, 但是唐人街很空,商店裡沒人排隊。在居家令開始那天,魚老闆促銷活蝦, 賣給我10磅,每磅3.99美元。10磅蝦可以持續吃3週,患難見真情,不能請朋友來吃, 哈..... 後來又買了花蝦(below圖像)。直到現在八月,很少活蝦出售,也許漁民因為疫情沒出海捕魚。Starting March 17, government ordered "Shelter in Place" for 3 weeks. We couldn't go out except some essential trips like buying food. All regular stores were packed with people. However, Chinatown was quite empty and no lines in stores. I bought 10 lb live shrimps (called sweet shrimp), $3.99/lb, so it would last for 3 weeks. Ha..... Until now in August, very few live shrimp was for sale.


(3/29)疫情中牡丹閣海鮮酒家於3月9日關閉, 野生魚降價促銷, 原產於北太平洋寒冷水域的紅龍從每磅25美元降至17美元, 對我來說,頭很大,魚肉少, 哈.. Chinatown's Peony Seafood Restaurant closed on March 9 and its wild fish supplier marked down seafood prices. Shortspine Thornyhead (阿拉斯加鮶鮋, 紅龍 means Red Dragon in Chinese, Idiot Fish), native to the cold waters of the northern Pacific Ocean, is down to $17 per pound from $25.


(4/24)買了兩隻大貴妃蚌, 清蒸貴妃蚌 is too hard for me, instead 炒韭菜 grown in our front yard. But 老婆 does not like it.

(5/8-12) Mother's Day was May 10. Until the big fire on 9/16, we had our live seafood cooked in this neigboring restaurant. Very convenient!


(8/3)買了游水老鼠斑,兩條麻斑(Kelp Greenling, Gopher Rockfish), 到隔壁餐館烹飪(看視頻), 看清蒸石斑魚技巧。 以前做了很多次,只這次拍攝了視頻。麻斑是給朋友煮的, 交換一些他家種的瓜菜, 互相合作, 哈!

(8/19)龍蝦尾Safeway大減價每尾$ 4.99, 老婆一大早晨買了剛出來的新鮮龍蝦尾 (疫情中我不敢去Safeway), 買了伊麵(3堆每個$2.6, 現在貴了), 請大廚做龍蝦尾伊麵, $10烹調費。這家餐館還幫助我們做粽子, 自備瘦肉和蛋黃, 以前都是買活龍蝦(5/8)和螃蟹來做的。

(9/12)在華埠, 買了一條紅龍(Shortspine Thornyhead, Idiot Fish) - 魚老闆: 這是一種昂貴的野生魚,一生中至少要嘗試一次, 如果你住在加州,說不喜歡魚,那是因為還沒有嘗試最好的魚, 哈... 老婆親自清蒸, 清蒸+砂鍋紅龍, 一魚兩吃。

(5/31)I began taking video in May. 請看視頻: "Shop Pandemic Chinatown of Oakland 2020 疫情中屋崙華埠購物"。This video was featured in a Oakland News. It is also the starting video of a playlist for all videos. 我一直在屋崙華埠購買食物, 發現不那麼擁擠, 排隊很短, 更敞開通氣, 特別是買活魚, 也幫朋友買, 是疫情中有趣的活動。 Since February until April, I found that Oakland Chinatown's shops were less crowded, shorter lines, people more used to wearing masks and more open-air setting. My "understanding and caution" is that the risk is higher shopping at big indoor stores or markets. Click to watch all videos: Pandemic Time & Places 2020.
在這2020年疫情中, 屋崙華埠被打砸搶, 野火煙熏, 又被縱火燒, 我的視頻在本地新聞中, 被引用來拯救奧克蘭(沒有問過我)。請聽音樂"夢回奧克蘭"(renamed): "Shop Chinatown of Oakland in pandemic May-Jun-Nov 2020" - "How Oakland Chinatown Fire and Pandemic Stopped Shopping In Heartbreaking YouTube Video - This video by Wy Woo on YouTube shows the before and after story of what happened to a once-thriving 8th and Webster Oakland Chinatown Shopping Area that consists of long-time eateries .... It also shows the failure of Oakland’s so-called economic development program to come to the aide of these businesses. What’s happened to Oakland’s once vaunted economic development programs is the real story – a take of massive government failure."

(5/31)"Looting & shopping of Oakland Chinatown in May-June 2020 pandemic屋崙華埠被打砸搶"。在五月裡,抗議示威開始, 不少華埠商鋪被暴徒打砸洗劫, 損失慘重, 第二晚回來再搶,就像沒警察。(7/6)"Boarded-up Chinatown of 8th street Oakland in July 2020 pandemic屋崙華埠釘上木板+火燒Fire"。許多被打砸的商鋪裝上木板, 被繪畫塗鴉, 很早就關門, 魚老闆離開時向我揮手。 Added 5-alarm 9/16 fire (九月16日屋崙華埠5級大火)。The July part of this video was featured in a Oakland News.

(7/18)"Shop for live seafood after 5pm Sat. July 2020 in pandemic Oakland Chinatown 屋崙華埠採購海鮮+火燒Fire"。 星期六下午5點之後, 想採購海鮮但店關門。Buying rockfish(8/3), added mural video after fire (華埠大火); (5/20)"Shelter-in-Place, Pandemic Lake Merritt of Oakland May 2020 疫情中美麗湖"。I was driving along Lakeshore Ave in July. Wow! there were many activities and people totally ignored government's sign "no parking". On 9/12, under heavy wildfire smoke (AQI>200). On 10/25, night time scene.

(8/1)"Boarded-up Renaissance Plaza of pandemic Oakland Chinatown 8/1/2020 屋崙華埠富興中心買燒臘"。此前受新冠疫情影響而暫停營業的金記小館和金閣, 已開放接受外賣, 可以買到一般燒臘, 滷水鴨, 滷味墨魚, 相當的好; "Shopping on Webster St. of pandemic Oakland Chinatown 8/1/2020 屋崙華埠街上買外賣"。可以吃到平時想吃的, 如韭菜盒子, 廣西螺獅粉, 臘味煲仔飯, 餛飩麵, 海南雞飯等等。


(3/17) On the day of "Shelter in Place", I took some pictures at the intersection of the 8th (3 shops selling live seafood on this steet) and Franklin Streets. 華埠2月份海鮮開始大減價,海鮮移到人行道上賣, 我先搶了3只螃蟹。


(9/16)During the epidemic, the stock market is rising, Oakland Chinatown is broken and looted, smoked by wildfires and set on fire. 疫情中, 股市撲朔迷離, 屋崙華埠被打砸搶、野火煙熏, 又被縱火燒:
