> Same here but I use my phone as my TPMS (Fobo tire pressure Monitor).

Data off, Bluetooth on?

But yeah, same here, nothing to hide.

The main thing correlated with spread it not taking it seriously, not limiting contacts, not wearing masks.

I live in Georgia, and I still see about 20% of people shopping there not wearing masks. A lot of people really do believe there's a conspiracy around all this, and it sucks that trust the narrative a few people in media give them so much.

Well, even spotty mask use is helping:  https://mobile.twitter.com/sccounty/status/1253718341572718592

The county has required masks in public places now, so we'll see if that little bit left changed things.

We also lost a grocery store as seven of its staff tested positive for COVID19, at least one was in the hospital.  They shut the store down.  This was also the part of the county which had the first school closure before the shelter order and before the UC completely shut because one of the staff tested positive.  (It was one of the first community-acquired cases confirmed.)

The shitdown is slowly being lifted in some places and increased in others.  Our parks and beaches are closed from eleven to five during the day (and they're normally closed an hour after sunset to an hour before mostly) to prevent tourism.

The scuttlebutt is that Zero is starting up the production line - they've been putting out repairs and doing only limited production.  I heard they have a bunch of police bikes to build.  So that's cool.  I wonder what the SR/ police bikes look like...

I saw another SR/S on the road again, looked like one from the factory.

What drives me crazy is that each little county has their own set of rules regarding what people can do and what they can't. It depends upon where you are when you get caught. Most police seem to be more interested in keeping the local public beaches, parks and trails only for their residents and not for the general public that probably is paying taxes to support and maintain them.  San Mateo county as of yesterday increased their travel restriction to visit a recreation area from 5 miles to 10 miles.  What has the mileage traveled got to do with anything? Why 5 miles and what changed to allow people to travel 10 miles now?  I am really having a problem understanding the logic behind all of these different rules that are made up by individual local health officers. I would feel better if they would explain their reasoning, instead of just announcing the regulations without any justification.   ???

Regarding Zero, that is the way to get back to work. Build or service "authority" vehicles.   Doing anything to support the cops is considered an essential service and you are allowed to do that. My BMW shop claims that they are staying open because they service and maintain police BMW motorcycles. Hopefully the Zero factory can stay open long enough building cop bikes for the crisis rules to be lifted sufficiently to allow full production of all of the vehicles to commence. I just hope there is enough loose cash left in the enthusiast market to purchase them.

The rules should be pretty consistent now; they're trying to make most counties follow the same suggestions.

But the number of cases and how people are responding varies from county to county.

The big thing is trying to pre-empt as much county to county travel as possible.  That limits spread.  Hence the daytime park closures.

The state was saying San Mateo's range from home rule was unenforceable and possibly unconstitutional.

According to news reports last night the Pacifica cops sent 745 people home who were walking along the Pacifica State Beach this weekend for being more than 5 miles away from home.  It is a mystery to me how they determined this as it would require interviewing each person and checking their ID for just walking on the sand. That would surely take a lot of time. The town doesn't have much of a police department to begin with and you would think they would have better things to do.   ::)  The news media sure didn't even hint that the 5, now 10-mile, rule might be unconstitutional.  ???

Pacifica doesn't have a very large beach, there's only a handful of choke points.
