Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #72Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #63 We just cancelled our Borough meetings for the next three weeks and the front door of the borough offices will be locked from the inside to protect the office staff. If you need to contact the staff, call the phone number and, if necessary, you'll be admitted. Bill payment will be by the collection box or credit card. All schools are closed and the major employers are having their employees tele-commute. Lots of people taking walks at a very respectful distance. We are keeping the public parks open but telling people we aren't sanitizing the playground equipment. Old Forum Orphan |

Today the entire 7 million people of the SF Bay Area counties have been ordered to stay at home until April 7 unless we are traveling to an essential service, like buying groceries, going to the bank, post office or a gas station. Oh yes, you can also walk your dog so that he can poop on someone else's property. I have no idea how I am going to last that long without leaving my home and riding my motorcycle.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #79 Do they specify you have to go to the closest supermarket? In the UK, you might have to travel many miles to find a store with toilet roll or pasta. Can you volunteer to deliver prescription meds to those unable to get out of their homes? Ride your bike whilst doing something for the community. Work with the rules not against them. |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #80Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #79 Good questions. Right now there doesn't appear to be much in the way of specific rules. It seems to be a work in progress and the cops don't know how they will be able to tell who is traveling to an essential location and who isn't. Add to that one health official said that it would be OK if you went on a hike by yourself. In my case it would be great if I could ride my motorcycle into the Santa Cruz Mountains to go hiking in one of the many open space hiking areas there. But it is a mystery to me how I could determine if that would be legal and my guess is that it would depend upon the individual sheriff who pulls you over. Of course it is possible that the hiking areas might all be closed. Right now it is all very confusing.

At this point here out in the hilsl all the restrictions seem only to be guidelines, trying to keep people home and the rate of contagion slow. I've not looked into the details of the contagion or the math but it seem to me that even with these shutting down schools, restaurants, requesting limited travel to not actually reduce the overall percentage of people who will eventually be exposed but only limit the rate at which we all get infected. This does help in limiting the keep the peak number of getting sick in a short time so hospitals, etc are not over taxed all at once but get to see us over the next few months. Gloomy thought...not sure it is accurate. |

Zitat von Vtbob im Beitrag #82 We have similar guidance, not policy or law. I am just listening to the BBC who are interviewing businesses who have been advised but not compelled to close, theatres, sports venues etc. They are saying that they cannot claim on their business disruption insurance unless the government enforces closure. These businesses are closing but will be crippled financially without a clear strategy. It's all very vague compared with other governments in Europe. |
Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #75Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #70 Lee, Your government is lying to you on a daily basis. You can't believe much of what Trump is saying in these news conferences. Same goes for the Chinese government. |

My favorite news today was that the State Legislature was disbanding and heading home to be self-quarantined. No more crazy laws for the next few weeks.
