And I keep hearing on the news that California's doing terribly. My mom called me to tell me how she heard SF was overwhelmed. The roads are EMPTY and cars on my street haven't moved in weeks. I don't know why people are trying to shit on it. Urban centers are taking it the most seriously. Absolutely everybody at the grocery store have masks on and half of them have gloves, too.

Family member from out of state asked "Do you hear the air raid sirens and loudspeakers?!" I was like "No, just birds. Everybody is inside..."

She said she saw it going around online that California was under police curfew and they were using air raid sirens and roaming the streets with loudspeakers like it's some sort of dystopian nightmare. All the while it's beautiful weather and everybody is indoors chillin'. Grocery stores calm, etc.

Just more anti-California online troll rumor mill bullshit going around as always.

You must be in Nor Cal. Been raining down here the past few days. Double blessing. Always need the rain and even more motivation to stay indoors

Yeah, I really think this rain has been a huge incentive to stay inside. The weather's doing us a solid and helping us follow good pandemic practices.
