Pennsylvania is just barely ramping cases/deaths and already businesses are about ready to riot. Fracking was given an exception(obviously!) but small business owners are sitting at home furious. Whether they're right of wrong, something is gonna give. Maybe when deaths pop exponentially next week it'll cool them down but I doubt it.I suspect California and Tesla will start openings things back up on May 1st. Not everything of course - but jobs that cannot be worked from home (like manufacturing) will go back under close watch.
Teslas software engineers in Palo Alto could still work from home.
California is trending pretty decently in terms of containment.
The realtor lobby has the state legislature running around to get them declared exempted, so are developers/contractors.
My guess is that nonretail businesses like manufacturing, building, etc will be allowed to start back the Tues/Wed after Easter. Wouldn't surprise me to see schools in some districts given the option then as well. Though schools is probably more like the following week because you know.....the children. Never mind they're in nearly zero danger.
