INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Yesterday, San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced a lockdown for six Bay Area Counties: San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin,
The public health order marks a big step to help reduce the movement of the nearly 7 million people within the Bay Area, as well as the
potential transmission of COVID-19.
It is important to note that the mayor, as of today, has not issued a complete and utter lockdown
This means you can still go outside for exercise and leisure, as well as heading to your local grocery store (mine is giving out free
flowers to stressed shoppers)
You also can order food delivery from your app of choice
Some restaurants are offering food to-go, or if you&re Black Hammer Brewing, crowlers and growlers to-go.
Per the SF Chronicle, bicycling
for exercise is fine, as well as driving to hiking trails and beaches for fresh air
I highly recommend a morning stroll at Lands End or Fort Funston
You&ll also catch a good sunset at Bernal Heights or out on one of the numerous piers.
The guidance, if you leave your house, is to remain
six feet away from another individual at all times.
After recreational and medical dispensaries were told to halt sales this morning, the
San Francisco Department of Public Health tweeted that they can remain in business.
Update: after this story was published the San Francisco
Department of Public Health tweeted, saying that dispensaries are &essential businesses& and are open
The story has been updated to reflect this change.
This all in mind, let end on a general note
Be kind, tip well and be thankful for moments of humanity and love in this moment of stress
Everyone is scared, and buying out the store quantity of toilet paper in one go might not be as thoughtful as you think.
