Originally posted by Slash ManMy home state California has been put on a stay at home order issued by the Governor. San Diego, Los Angeles and the bay area (the largest population centers) have all basically come to a standstill. My hometown, gyms, hobby shops, clothing stores, bars, restaurants have all closed their doors with some offering very limited services such as restaurants offering only takeout. Governor also said for everyone to not leave home unless absolutely essential (not sure if it's legally binding or not, need to look over the policy). Me and the roommates are doing our part staying cooped up in our apartment dying of boredom lol.
Germany also started to do that since a couple days ago. While the order isn't country wide, it is state and city wide (albeit mostly a stop at night). All because people don't care...
It's still interesting is that officially, there still are less than 100 death cases in Germany (according to
John Hopkins University which counts more cases than RKI) and many other countries have surpassed it (even those which have less people). Mind you than Germany has got the 5th most cases world wide (about as many as Spain and a bit less than the US).
Either we're really good at it or the conspiracy theorists have right, lol. At the same time, according to that data, we don't have as many recoveries as other countries.
