They have given the shelter in place and closing of non-essential businesses...but the city has also decided that bike shops are essential businesses for their repair functions! Woohoo!

I'm in San Francisco. No real enforcement yet that I've experienced or heard of, at least not in the sense of handing out tickets or having checkpoints, etc. However, they're starting to shut down public parks and beaches after seeing big crowds the last few days, and I've heard that certain businesses are being shut down if they don't do so voluntarily. People are largely self-policing and staring to wave fingers at others who are not complying but so far that's about it.

In my hood, strictly enforced. Neighbors will take a picture of you jaywalking and call the cops on you, or post them on fb to make you look like an ass.
Last time I read, there were over one thousand people taken to police stations for non compliance over the last week.

Thing is, covid19 is seen as a "rich people disease", since most infected ones are people coming from european vacations, usually in the most affluent hoods.

In the outskirts of the city, or smaller towns? Pretty much not at all, as its still seen as a distant threat, plus most people living day to day cant afford to be out of work for 2 weeks, or buy groceries for weeks at a time.
Sad situation.

They are building a 3000 bed hospital as of now, and have placed all (public, private and military) ventilators for public use, so we are up to 975 from the 250 originally in place.

Shit is going to hit like a train in the developing world, plus winter starts in 2 months.

As we are still in exponential growth, and with a 3 week latency from contraction to death and 5 days for diagnosis, we can probably expect about 8,500 total dead in the next 16 days.

The bunker at parliament
NZ hit 100 positive tests yesterday (zero deaths so far) so tomorrow the whole country goes into lockdown for 4 weeks minimum.
Go home, stay home.
Government is giving a grant that covers about 60% of the shops wage bill, I've asked the council who are my landlords for the shop if I can have a rent holiday due to zero cashflow for the next month but no reply as yet.

Gov Hogan has ordered non essential businesses in Maryland to close at 5PM

Good thing liquor stores are listed as essential
