Many of you know I am from the San Francisco BAY area. My county and 4 surrounding Bay Area counties are officially on shelter in place effective at midnight tonight. It's already like a ghost town on the local streets. Feels very surreal.

What are the rules? Do they allow for trips for groceries and essential supplies?

What are the rules for the San Fran homeless?
So all of the stores are being raided now?bay fan said:

Going out for essentials is allowed but discouraged now. My friends and I are picking things up for each other if one of us must go out. These are the most stringent restrictions in the country. We are allowed to go outside for a walk but if with someone must stay 6 ft away. They are strongly discouraging leaving our homes in general.Capitol Ag said:

This is not a political question, but how in the world are they going to enforce this on all the homeless people? Are they just still going to let them do whatever they want and punish the rest of the population?
I'm sorry, but this really is going too far. It just is.

Yes to both. Can also walk dog, run, hike, but must exercise social distancing if with someone outside own home.
I really appreciate that I live somewhere that my kids can go outside once we end up stuck at home together for the next 3 months without having to worry about social distancing. If this is the new normal until July/August like was mentioned...living in a place where stepping outside your home means being in the public would be extremely difficult.
I don't think that was reported correctly. Trump was answering about bending the curve. He said it should all wash out by August. I took that to mean cases/deaths etc. Not that we will have to be locked up until August. It should be clarified.
I read a tweet that Dr. Fauci said not to August in regards to what they were talking about today.

How do you know?

Only if you're homeless. You're not expected to know any better.
That's really not funny.Clavell said:

That's been going on all over the country for some time.
I will be walking the dog. Would go crazy inside all the time. Maybe I should pull the trigger on a puppy, plenty of time to potty train!SoupNazi2001 said:

My mistake, I thought there were some decent folks on this board. I feel bad for those of you who can't think of others in times like this.BQ_90 said:

I did see that. I'm skeptical that's little more than trying to control people freaking out.

It's a valid question. Why take these drastic measures while at the same time continue allowing the most unsanitary behavior. It makes no sense.
This will be coming to a city near you faster than you realize.
Our son and his family live in San Anselmo, Marin County, which is one of the six counties affected. They seem to be taking it in stride so far. And it was interesting that he told us our grand kids, HS Senior and HS Jr girls, still have school work that is required via internet.
Edit: bay fan - no offense intended, but it seems to my wife and I that Bay area residents are used to "taking things in stride" that we would not. And congrats on your Spirit Tag - well deserved!

So if only essential personnel can work, how are grocery stores open to acquire food?
There are some decent folks on here and the information you have is of interest. All of this may be coming to Texas cities near people on here.

Tons of people out walking their dog this afternoon. Dog park I walked by (duboce) in the middle of SF not nearly as packed as usual, but lots of folks milling around socializing like they usually do. And dogs having a blast as they normally would. I expect this to continue, and will likely see it back to normal behavior soon, since people don't have to go to work.
All businesses that are still open (which are most) are pretty empty. The exception being birite and two dispensaries, which have lines going down the street.
Some beautiful days on the forecast coming up. I intend to be outside enjoying them regardless of this mandate, and technically being outside exercising is still ok.
It's very surreal.... and it all changed so quickly.bay fan said:

Just last Tuesday I cancelled participation in a conference for my team with several suppliers and two of three planned dinners in Atlanta. Went ahead with the third one on Thursday, and it was incredibly awkward and uncomfortable.
Then Friday the corp said everybody should work from home next week. I went from thinking "no big deal, I'll be back in Texas in a couple weeks for vacation anyway and will just work from my apartment in Atlanta until leaving for Texas"..... to now there's talk of a national quarantine or shelter in place.... to where I've decided I"m headed home now to be with my wife before I get stranded and can't travel. Spent the evening packing essentials and will depart at 4:30am for the 14 hour drive to my home in College Station.
Hopefully we'll learn a lot from this that will spare us from something even more deadly in the years ahead.
But for now, yeah it's incredibly disrupting and unsettling.
Good luck out there in SF Bay Fan! Hunker down and stay safe.
This too shall pass.

This is NOT a death sentence! We are acting like you drop dead if you contract the virus, IF you are in the at risk population then YOU should shelter in place the rest of us just need to get on with life!
This is horrible advice. It's the exact opposite of what every expert says.
We definitely take things in stride but this feels a bit different because of the long term consequences and the potential isolation rather then gathering together. I am grateful we can get outdoors and hike in the hills which are beautiful this time of year to release some stress and breath good clean air. I make my living in sales so not working particularly this time of year in my business makes me anxious.NormanAg said:

Glad your family is well, I am sure these measures will prove very worth it. We pulled out a puzzle today
The only offense I take is to all the thoughtless people using this as an opportunity to make fun of a homeless population who is bound to be suffering more then we can even imagine. Times like these make me grateful for what I have and wish I could help many more others, not mock their lack of bathrooms.
And thanks!
They are considered essential in all our communities, not just my own. Many grocery stores are actually increasing wages for their staff for working through this.Ag_of_08 said:

Thanks. I am glad some are interested in more then showing their colors because I do suspect I may be first in this situation but won't be the last. I agree, I thought mods were going to police this board to avoid just that type of crap.Old RV Ag said:There are some decent folks on here and the information you have is of interest.

I agree. Fits with the "only I matter" generation. Everyone else can kiss my ass and deal, amiright?
