It was not the _Governor_ who issued those orders in the bay area, it was the local county health officers acting under the authority granted them by the state legislature. This wasn’t some top-down fiat. I am grateful that my local officials have decided to act in solidarity in this instance, but it wasn’t a structurally certain outcome.
