The first two weeks of March 2020 were very weird for just about everyone. And this weekend marks one year since SF shut down large bars and clubs, a few days before the whole city would shut down.

The three-week stay-at-home orders issued at the state level for the vast majority of Californians since early December are not likely to expire as planned, and are mostly likely getting extended — but how this will work for the Bay Area remains to be seen.

The state's new methodology for deciding when the new stay-at-home order will be triggered groups Santa Cruz and Monterey counties into the Bay Area, so we are now all in this together as a region.

SF is likely to join the 41 counties in the "Purple" tier by next week, and with that comes the shutdown of all gyms, movie theaters, and places of worship once again.
