If they can't stop arson and looting how are they going to enforce this shit?
June 19, 8:50 a.m. The head of the World Health Organization said the coronavirus pandemic is “accelerating” and that more than 150,000 cases were reported yesterday — the highest single-day number so far.
In a media briefing on Friday, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said nearly half of the newly reported cases were from the Americas, with significant numbers from South Asia and the Middle East.
“We are in a new and dangerous phase,” he said, warning that restrictive measures are still needed to stop the pandemic. “Many people are understandably fed up with being at home [and] countries are understandably eager to open up their societies.” But Tedros warned that the virus is still “spreading fast” and that measures like social distancing, mask wearing and hand-washing are still critical.

June 19, 1:00 p.m. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office announced Friday it will not enforce California Gov. Gavin Newsom's statewide order that requires all Californians to wear face coverings in common and public indoor spaces and outdoors when physical distancing is not possible.
"The Sheriff's Office recommends that everyone continue exercising safe practices, including wearing masks pursuant to the Governor's recommendation, especially around those in high-risk groups," the sheriff's office announced in a statement released Friday. "However, due to the minor nature of the offense, the potential for negative outcomes during enforcement encounters, and anticipating the various ways in which the order may be violated, it would be inappropriate for deputies to criminally enforce the Governor's mandate."
The announcement comes at a time the country is grappling with protests over the use of force from members of law enforcement.
wretched hives of scum and villainy: San Fran, LA, etc.
Newsom said he decided to issue the guidance because “we are seeing too many people with faces uncovered – putting at risk the real progress we have made in fighting the disease.”
