I agree, last I checked today, Comcon in Seattle, the LA marathon, & the Indian Wells Masters tennis tournament are still on and scheduled over the next two weeks.

OTOH, the California State Government has taken some good steps.

In addition to mandating testing/evaluation be cost free, as mentioned above, the state has also decided that those “unable to work due to having or being exposed to COVID-19 can file a Disability Insurance claim “ and Those unable to work “because they are caring for an ill or quarantined family member with COVID-19 ... can file a Paid Family Leave claim”

There is also financial assistance for employers.
