SHELTER-IN-PLACE is not martial law; a lockdown, nor is it some weird government conspiracy to overthrow the people. SIP (for short here) is simply a city-mandated order that requires people to pretty much stay home, only leaving their houses/apartments for the most essential of daily activities (grocery shopping; (the never-ending mission to find toilet paper), the doctors, and so on.
California is now the first place to enact some of the strictest SIP measures as they continue to battle their own outbreak, but even then, it must be noted that it isn’t martial law and right now there are no plans to impose such according to multiple US Senators.
In most places in America right now, non-essential businesses; gatherings, parties, clubs, bars, restaurants, spring-break activities, and almost everything in between have been abruptly cancelled or stifled. This is not because of martial law — but instead an effort to curb the spread of the virus by way of social distancing.
Please remember that the misinformation campaign out here is real. SIP orders do not mean you are stuck in the house all together. They just mean that unless its essential (you can also go outside for exercise) you do have to stay in the house.
