In yet another dramatic move to fight the spread of coronavirus, Sacramento County health officials on Tuesday afternoon called on all residents, not just the elderly, to stay at home effective immediately unless they have essential chores to do, such as grocery shopping, banking, restaurant food pickups, or health appointments.
The directive stops short of being a formal order, but represents a stricter stance than Gov. Gavin Newsom called for Monday night when he asked all restaurants and gyms to close, and for anyone 65 and older to hunker down at home for their safety.
“A directive is an order by another name, and it’s crucial that we all follow it,” Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg said. “This is what we need to do to flatten this curve and prevent our healthcare system from being overwhelmed.

Totalitarianism without a shot fired.
I’ve decided to stay at home but with home so far from here; I’ve decided to stay here
Happy Saint Patrick’s day. Perhaps soon we will rid ourselves of the snakes
Wait for when? When *no one* has the virus? It may be here for years at some level.
I refuse to wait for When. I’ll wait for Who, What, and Where .... Where’s the brunette
If everyone is supposed to stay home, how is that different from a total lockdown?
If I need to do banking, how does that happen if everyone is at home?
Is my Constitutional right to peaceably assemble now vetoed by Sacramento County health officials?
Exactly! Comrade Mayor and Comrade Governor are much more dangerous that the coronavirus, and God help us if we ever got a Comrade Clinton.
I say the same about grocery shopping. I am running out of milk, bread, and eggs. The idiots took all of it.
It was interesting at WalMart yesterday.
Minimal milk, no bread or eggs, and HUGE supplies of beer, wine, and liquor. I’d never seen that many stacks of beer in cartons...even on Indy 500 week...like the beer wholesalers had done a warehouse purge or something.
Fixed it for ya:
In yet another dramatic move to fight the spread of coronavirus, Sacramento County health officials on Tuesday afternoon called on all residents, not just the elderly, to stay at home effective immediately unless they have essential chores to do, such as defecating on the sidewalk, stealing less than $900 of merchandise, pitching a tent in a resident’s yard, getting drunk and running over pedestrians, beating white people at a BART station or selling roasted Chinese bat from a cart.
OMG ROFL
