Oakland closes its schools: https://twitter.com/OUSDNews/status/1238514679875391489
I believe this is now most of the East Bay.
My wife's company went from "WFH encouraged" to "WFH mandatory" over the course of like 3 hours. She was WFH today anyway, and did an Trader Joe's trip to stock up on frozen stuff (we emptied our chest freezer in advance of our construction, but that's looking less plausible now) and it was apparently very crowded and missing some amount of stuff, mainly pasta and rice. Fortunately (for us at least) most people don't know how to turn flour into bread, so she was able to stock up on flour.
My company is too small and focused on actual physical stuff to do mandatory WFH, especially my role, but we'll see. Already a number of people staying home because they're sick (even if the symptoms aren't specifically covid-related).
Maybe one slight good that will come out of this is that finally, finally actually happening.
