The San Mateo County Health Officer recently published a statement that rhetorically asked this and other similar questions about CA, and I suppose human behavior and response to various types of SAH orders and the like. It was a very well-written piece and was featured here on HN 3 weeks ago[0]. Here’s a direct link[1]. I highly recommend reading to get an honest perspective from someone who has to make these kinds of decisions at the county level.
