Please Stay Home - The Statistics

[climberdude]

Good morning, Clink and others.  I hope everyone is staying well, healthy, and home.  All my Pinns climbing right now is virtual for the time being.

Many Bay Area counties have now implemented county-wide travel bans.  What this means is you cannot travel outside of your county of residence except for the defined essential activities.  This is a good step.  If you look at the projections for California versus other states who have not taken measures or only minor measures, we will be doing much better.  A few states will not be doing so well.  Denial is not just a river in Africa.

***PUTS ON GRUMPY LOCAL HAT***
Tell that to all of the silicon valley pukes coming over to Santa Cruz everyday. SVP's....doesn't quite roll off the tongue like BAP's. I have never seen the surf so crowded on a daily basis. I am amazed they haven't shut it down yet. Makes me sad.

***Takes off grumpy local hat***
Aside from the SVP's surfing it does seem that people in general are taking this more seriously now, which is really nice to see. Really looking forward / fingers crossed that we collectively ban together and come back to more normalcy in May.

I admit that I was  a little shocked when governor Newsom instituted the stay in place order. It seemed extreme then.

Comparing California to states like Florida and Louisiana? Now I'm thinking that his move was bold and brilliant.

Make a t-shirt that says Valley Go Home

Santa Clara Valley has the highest rate of spread (by far) of any of the counties near here.

California should have the county imprinted on license plates for easy visual I.D.

Kentucky plates have had the county as long as I can remember.

I have no problem skipping that trip to Fresno or Santa Cruz.

Let's have some more xenophobia!

I prefer agoraphobia.

 Today non locals are being cited, patrols on SC beaches, according to KCBS

Good.
It is about time.
How do they tell the non locals from the locals?
Wait...I know...they're the ones that don't have BO and aren't wearing beanies or socks with sandals right?

[clink]

How do they tell the non locals?

 The non-locals look normal.

[JC w KC redux]

The non-locals look normal.

Bumper stickers too.
Locals have Visualize Whirled Peas and Keep Santa Cruz Weird.
Non-locals have Mystery Spot.

[NOAL]

Nothing worse than self proclaimed weirdos.  

We all know the weirdest people are the ones who claim to be normal.

Gonna make some bumper stickers that say "Keep San Mateo Normal"

Let's modify the phrase for now, while this weirdness is going on: E.B.A.P.

Entitled Bay Area Pukes.

[waldo]

It's a long story, but here's the punchline: I once ran naked down Cliff Street, through the Boardwalk and into the water.

[NOAL]

Totally normal.

Well...OUCH! Bit my tongue again.

Hate to burst your bubble but it's way beyond the Bay Area.

[NOAL]

It might go to Morgan Hill

[Brad Young]

Hate to burst your bubble but it's way beyond the Bay Area.

Yes, "entitled" is for sure way beyond the Gray Area.

But we can narrow all those entitled masses down a bit to make Brian's life easier

A RECAP OF THE LAST THREE WEEKS:

AMERICA: Oh my god! Coronavirus! What should we do?

CALIFORNIA: Shut down your state.

AMERICA: Wait... what? Why?

CALIFORNIA: Because 40 million people live here and we did it early, and it’s working.

OHIO: Whoa... whoa... let’s not be hasty now. The president said that this whole coronavirus thing is a democratic hoax.

CALIFORNIA: He also said that windmills cause cancer. Shut down your state.

TEXAS: But the president said that we only have 15 cases and soon it'll be zero.

CALIFORNIA: The president can’t count to fifteen. Nor even spell it. Shut down your state.

NEW JERSEY: Us too?

CALIFORNIA: Yes, you guys too. Just like when Christie shut down the bridge, but it’s your whole state.

FLORIDA: But what about all these kids here on spring break?? They spend a lot of money here!

CALIFORNIA: Those kids invented the tide pod challenge. Shut down your state.

LOUISIANA: But wait let’s have Mardi Gras first. It entertains people.

CALIFORNIA: It also kills them. Shut it down.

GEORGIA: Ok well how about we keep the state open for all of our mega churches? Maybe we can all pray really hard until the coronavirus just goes away!

CALIFORNIA: Which is working like a charm for mass shootings. Jesus told us to tell you to shut down your state.

OKLAHOMA: What about the tigers?

CALIFORNIA: What about a dentist. Shut it down.

WYOMING: Hold up, maybe we should go county by county like the president said.

CALIFORNIA: Stop acting like there are counties in Wyoming. There are no counties in Wyoming. Wyoming is a county. Shut it down.

PENNSYLVANIA: But big coal.

CALIFORNIA: But big death. Shut it.

WEST VIRGINIA: But we were the last state to get coronavirus!

CALIFORNIA: And don’t make us explain to you why that was. Shut it down.

NORTH CAROLINA: But the republican national convention is coming here!

CALIFORNIA: SHUT... ok fine do what you want.
