One yet and because it is more strict, we expect it will supersede any local ordinance in any bay area county. Now in san mateo county, the signs say anybody here who is recreateing, getting exercise near the beach, but who lives more than 5 miles away is in violation of the county ordinance. Now, under new rules going into effect, what local governments, though, may not matter. Under drizzle and grey skies, people were out, getting in runs, walk with the dog, what not. San franciscos ocean beach was on the same story. But with i have not seen the swarms of people at our beaches that showed up at Southern California beaches frustrating the governor this weekend. If you missed it, this is what it looked like, people out and about. Not just for exercise, gathered if groups, sun bathing. Some of them a lot closer than the 6 feet. They are in violation of that shelterathome order. In a memo, the governor gives the police chief up and down california that all beaches and state parks will be shut down. Much to the frustration to some folks we talked to. The suv is flat. If the suv is still flat, why are you making the conditions more constrained than less constrained. Reporter at this point, though, the curve is flatter. But statistically it is not flat as the number of people dying of covid19 and being infected by covid19 is still on the rise in california and here in the bay area. So if it seems like we are getting mixed messages of what is allowed from beaches and Outdoor Activity to what kind of outdoor work can resume, the general rule of thumb is this, whichever order is more strict is the order that is enforceable. So if the state order is more strict than san mateo counties, you have to do what the state says, if the rules are more strict, the local ordinance is the law of the land. By the way, already some serious pushback against this order that hasnt been announced yet, the sheriff of humboldtt county says if the governor shuts down the beaches, hes not going to enforce it.
