To further combat the spread of COVID-19, Ventura County Public Health Officer Doctor Robert Levin, has issued a “Stay Well at Home” emergency order – ordering all residents of the County of Ventura to stay inside their residences, and immediately limit all movement outside of their homes beyond what is absolutely necessary to take care of essential needs. The order is effective March 20, 2020, at 11:59 pm through April 20, 2020, 11:59 pm.

I go out, in my car, and don’t get out, to Rancho Sierra Vista (a State and National Park). I just read my book sitting in my car reading a Clancy Novel. But what I’ve seen is large groups of children congregating at close proximity of each other. While I was there, I saw a Park Ranger that didn’t enforce this “requirement” of the County.
