What's the guideline for going to work/ staying open?   I know someone who works on the manufacturing floor of a company that makes storage devices.   Apparently they've been told that they can stay open,  and so you have all these workers cramming into a change room daily before working in clean rooms.

I personally would feel OK about working all day in a clean room.   That change room area would be harder for the reasons you note. However, on the Governor's list of essential services a storage equipment company just doesn't make the cut.  

I get it at some level.   Every company believes what they do is essential.  The storage devices are used in computers.  The computers are used by health care workers and government employees.  Those essential employees need computers and therefore need us.

The State of NY was much clearer about the list of companies and clearly are ready to implement fines.   I think that real threat of financial penalties would help a lot of companies understand the definition of essential.   

Governor Newsom will need to really clamp down on non-compliance because if he doesn't companies and their employees will just ignore the order.

Italy is now #1 on the death list, but the USA will easily become #1 given our ineffective, inconsistent and incomplete response.
