AnonymousSource: San Luis Obispo County
The County of San Luis Obispo affirms that its phased reopening, or loosening of current restrictions, is predicated on the California Governor returning local control to counties.
This clarification is needed after NBC’s Today Show aired a story this morning that spotlighted San Luis Obispo County and incorrectly reported that the California county plans to reopen on May 1. This is false.
“We understand how this misinformation could confuse and frustrate our community,” said County Board of Supervisors Chair and District 4 Supervisor Lynn Compton. “We continue to actively reach out to our community to ensure they are fully informed with accurate and timely information, which includes the progress on the County’s phased reopening plan currently in its final stages of development.”
County officials state that they will be ready to implement the plan when the Governor returns authority back to the counties.

Fake news.
Can you explain what is fake about it?
Probably the fact the NBC news reported incorrect/wrong information……..
This was broadcast last night on the KEYT NBC affliate KSBY last night (channel 6 or 1006 on cable) . I was surprised to hear that with no confirmation from a government official. It played right before the NBC news went on at 5:30pm.
Well…. not “Fake News” in the way that phrase has come to mean. A “mistaken news story” is closer to the truth. “Fake News” is used to indicate an intentionally false story, disguised as News, intended to deceive or gaslight an ideological segment of the population into believing a certain opinion.
FAKE: AKA, NOT TRUE, FICTION.
