- This is outrageous. This is the same government who has been shutting beaches in Northern California few months ago, despite all the "science" (which they claim to follow) pointing to the fact that outdoor transmission is very unlikely.
Same with beach. beach is okay, a packed beach (try a popular one in half moon bay) might not be.
There are 54 counties in California. Only 41 counties have mandatory lockdown.

It’s really weird. We can’t eat outdoors but can congregate indoors. We can worship together and participate in protests, but can’t use outdoor playgrounds.
They'd prohibit both religious gatherings and protests if they legally could. These are both explicitly listed as protected under the 1st Amendment to the U.S. constitution, so it wouldn't survive a court challenge, especially since a similar restriction from New York has already been struck down as unconstitutional.
