Editor,
I understand that a lot of precautions and new rules are in place because of the coronavirus crisis situation.
What I do not understand and am questioning is the following:
The San Mateo County health order PROHIBITS gardeners to work. And if they work they may be fined or even imprisoned.
In my opinion this is unfair and unnecessary, putting a burden on legal garden workers who have no physical contact with homeowners.
On the other hand, criminals get released from prison. A recently arrested burglar is free because he cannot be added to the prison population.
Gov. Newsom decides among other things to give 150,000 undocumented immigrants each $500. That amounts to $75 million.
The forever unsolved homeless problem in San Francisco is now a super crisis and hotels are required to provide shelter and rooms.
I wish there would be more alternative and better solutions.
As for the gardeners, I will stand up for them and their work.
We are required to wear masks, but cannot find them in stores.
We should disinfect, but cannot find disinfectant in stores.
However, I would never have thought that finding toilet paper would be the happiest event of the day.

Suzanne - Logical, common sense questions and thoughts we all have!! But then, common sense isn't so common.
Well written Ms. Thiel. San Mateo just released another 575 convicted criminals. SMC is threatening to fine or arrest people going to the beach, even those just parked. Since California obviously doesn't care about criminal behavior, as evidenced by not deporting illegal aliens, releasing convicted criminals, reducing or requiring no bail for arrested citizens, I'd recommend that anyone charged with not wearing a mask, or fined for being outside, to go ahead and challenge, in court, anything associated with the Wuhan virus. Civil suits can probably be filed against the so called authorities, too. People need income to offset losses due to the shelter-in-place.
