Keep in mind, there is no shelter in place law in Los Angeles County, Ventura County or San Diego County. Right there, you're talking somewhere around 25 million people who, up until last week, were out in public, going to work, etc.
I was at Lake Hollywood yesterday and it was completely packed, far busier than I've ever seen it in my 27 years, the last 17 in which it's been right behind my home, and NO ONE, other than me, was practicing Social Distancing.
Also, keep in mind that the grocery stores have been packed 12 hours a day for weeks, as has been Costco, CVC, Target, Walmart and Rite Aid. There's no telling how many people have been infected and passed it on to others.
I hope it's not too late for Social Distancing to make a difference but until tens of millions of tests are available, no one will know with any certainty.
