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 stores—daily.” 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.
Sorry let me clarify people aren’t “running all around” to stores etc other than groceries because most are closed.
But yes many are instead (from reports I’ve heard as I’m not doing it) heading to hiking trails and parks etc where there are crowds. . .I think the point of quarantine is to avoid crowds, not join them. . .
