Setting aside Contra Costa with it's strong Bay Area connections, it's very understandable that states/counties will open up at different times.  We're a big country and the timing and gates necessary for phase 1 in New York may make no sense in Alaska or Wyoming.  On the other hand, I'd hope the Bay Area where county borders are barely more than lines on a map will act in unison.

Hmm.  Depends on what you mean by "Bay Area."  My gut tells me that Contra Costa County is very different than Santa Clara County.  I generally favor decisions made at more local levels.  From my vantage point, I don't expect meaningful "opening up" till late May/early June (I DON"T count tennis courts and golf courses as meaningful loosening of the grips on lockdown - those never should have been on "the list" of closures, imo).
