Since march 16, people in the bay area have been told to limit their trips outdoors to just the essential and initially that order is in effect till april 7 and social distancing guidelines through april 30. The social distancing efforts are helping but must be maintained. We feel that the mitigation that were doing right now is having an effect. Its very difficult to quantitative because theres two things. You have the virus going up and mitigation trying to push it down. But the decision to prolong but not to prolong but to extend this mitigation process until the end of april. I think it was a wise and prudent decision. Anywhere from 100 to 200,000 deaths from the coronavirus if the efforts to control the coronavirus and maintain social distancing arent met.
