#2Why is the Sheriff the one pointing this out on Twitter?
EDIT: The earlier coverage included this quote: "What’s essential about automobile manufacturing in the midst of a viral pandemic? “That’s a good question,” said spokesman Ray Kelly, promising more information would be forthcoming. “We’re in uncharted waters right now.”"
There are different ways to interpret that, but they seemingly were not confident at the time. Still a strange way to "correct" it, though.

#4I live close to that plant. I hope they don't just keep spreading that virus and negate the effort we are doing by the "shelter in place". I'm a dialysis patient myself and have no idea what this virus will do to me. I'll probably be cannon fodder if the health system is overloaded.

Those were about Tesla's decision. This is the government saying that Tesla's decision was unlawful, which is a different subject.

Please don't use HN to spread misinformation that could cause massive numbers of deaths.

#9To be fair to Tesla, they are much less likely to spread the virus than some of the "essential" services that are allowed to remain open.
To be fair to the county, finding that perfect balance of what is essential and what is not is impossible. I can't blame them for coming down on this side of things.

Influenza is a completely different family of virus, COVID-19 is not another flu. The realm Riboviria is where they diverge, which is pretty far up there.
