I’m in the Bay Area too. Decided last Sat to just not leave my house at all for the duration except to walk only around my house in my empty neighborhood.
Really unless going to an essential job no one should be driving anywhere at all; I don’t get it. I’m practicing what Trump said a few days ago: “Enjoy your living rooms.”
I plan to do that throughout April or longer—luckily I have a job that easily translates to telework and I can homeschool my kids (and have been since March 13th).
Everyone in the Bay Area is still running all around, going to crowded grocery stores—daily.
It’s disappointing but understandable—people need to eat. We should be eating our canned/frozen food for 2 weeks though, to flatten the curve, for 15 days. . .I thought that was the idea. Maybe no one has canned or frozen food?
I’m in the South Bay / Peninsula in the Mountain View area.
I sure don’t see “Everyone in the Bay Area is still running all around, going to crowded grocery storesdaily.” the roads are at 20% or less of regular traffic. I’ve been holed up for four days now with one hike in the hills. I had to go to Menlo Park yesterday for an appointment - it was dead. There was some shopping traffic at the Draegers supermarket, but that was it.
I think I’ll head to the hills today for another hike.
Well, here in Midwest, its been, you know, winter. And Spring is itchn to, well, Spring. If I can get a half way warm dry day, Im getting on my cycle on going for a ride!
IM GOING STIR CRAZY HERE!
I figure Ill head downtown and see how deserted it is.
essential workers don't get the luxury of staying home...
