There are many businesses open and millions of people all around the state going to work, shopping, eating, and generally interacting outside. This lock-in effectively ended weeks ago.
- staticassertion 7y agoI mean, I'm in SF so it's pretty aggressive here, but it's extremely not ended here. I also don't really see your point.
- manigandham 7y agoObviously not every area is the same, hence why CA state and Alameda county don't agree. The point is that there has been no real social distancing for weeks in many places because most people are already in plenty of contact with each other.
- Talanes 7y agoEven if every person is still seeing exactly as many people as before, which I doubt, being mostly constrained to gathering in outdoor places is still a healthy degree removed from "No Lockdown."
- manigandham 7y agoOutside = outside their homes. People are together inside stores, restaurants, hospitals, and other buildings. Delivery services are driving hundreds of miles through many neighborhoods while handling food and packages which are taken inside and opened. Public transportation has full planes, trains, buses and even Ubers. People are breathing the same air and touching the same things like doors, benches, gates, chairs, signs, and many other surfaces. Many wear a flimsy mask, several wear it incorrectly, and almost nobody has gloves. Every day that goes by, people get more lazy, tired and complacent. My UPS driver last week wore shorts, short-sleeve polo, no gloves, no mask, and directly handed me a package and the tablet to sign. The idea that a highly contagious disease is somehow still contained in such a populous area defies any rational explanation.
