Under California's stay-at-home order, can I gather with friends outdoors?

SAN FRANCISCO — Amid the coronavirus pandemic, outdoor gatherings with a friend or two have replaced the indoor dinner party. Many people have spent Friday night around a backyard fire pit or in lawn chairs parked on a sidewalk, pulling their masks on and off between sips of beer. 

Is this permitted under California's new stay-at-home order, now in place throughout Southern California and the Central Valley and adopted pre-emptively by six Bay Area jurisdictions — Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Santa Clara, San Francisco and the city of Berkeley? 

The answer is no, according to the state guidelines.

Sorry, but restricting me from hanging out with friends didn't work when I was 15, and it damned sure wouldn't work now.

    Fuck Gavin Newscum and his cadre of brown shirt fascists. The sooner that asswaffle is swinging from a tree the better.

    If you have to ask, you better stay home, Citixin.
    In bed.
    Alone.
    With the covers over your head.

    Don't forget to mask up.
    It's for me, not you.
    Also, don't forget, we're all in this together.

    "Is this permitted?"
    Kenny, you were the last man to leave California, apparently.

    Since we have this person called a "SHERIFF" here in Riverside County, none of that crap will be enforced:

    Dang. Still slightly better than the UK, where in some places you aren't permitted to have sex with someone who doesn't live in your home.

    Yeah, but once we all get "the cure" we will be free! The sun will be brighter, the sky will be bluer and life will be back to normal except soo much better. Ok fine, fer shure, fer shure, gag me with a spoon and unicorns gonna make my french toast in the morning.

    And how many people are actually following this? Just like in NY, and to a lesser extent the rest of the country, these orders are being followed only as far as the government can enforce them...
