We have a stay at home order and it's not being followed by hardly anyone. Thus the surge in cases.
Where I live it's hard core enforcement. But just for some. The bars, restaurants, barbers, and salons are getting hard enforcement with fines and arrests. Protesting, riots, rapes, murders, robberies, assaults etc are being allowed.
Street takeovers are a nightly social event that is embraced by our social media community. I got woke up a few weeks ago from the burnouts. Drive around the next morning and see major intersections with a big circle of rubber.
In LA county the mayor has approved social gatherings with no limit to the amount of people as long as it falls under the guidelines of a protest. So street takeovers, torching buildings/cars, blocking streets and traffic, throwing rocks and bottles at police, etc are all within the legal rights of our good 1st amendment citizens who refuse to wear a mask.
I had to go out yesterday to get truly essential emergency supplies for our tree trimmers to remove bee hive. The traffic was horrible. Local park was packed with people. I was really scared going into the local hardware store. I was met with a full parking lot and frenzy of customers in the Christmas light and BBQ section. WTF!! Since when are Christmas lights and BBQ's essential?
The section for vector control was empty. I got in and out as fast as possible. It was a challenge to stay 6 feet from anyone. At the checkout I felt crowded and nervous.
