It is a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the cold; this means no one is immune. We have limited information on it right now, but early research suggests that it’s more contagious than the common cold - it can live on metal or plastic surfaces for days. This means that about half of the world’s population might get it this year. Most people are likely to survive (mortality rates are estimated to be between 1-3% for the general population), but it’s up to you to self-quarantine and socially isolate in order to protect those most likely to contract it.
For confirmed COVID-19 infections, reported illnesses have ranged from people with little to no symptoms or mild cold symptoms to people being severely sick, some recovering and others dying.
Symptoms may include fever, cough and sore throat. In some patients, these symptoms can worsen into pneumonia, with chest tightness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Persons who are elderly, immunocompromised, or if have other comorbidities, such as heart disease, liver disease, are at higher risk of developing severe pneumonia and dying from the disease.
Symptoms of the coronavirus may appear in as few as two days or up to 14 days after exposure, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

State of Emergency Declarations by Governor Newsom have triggered statewide anti-gouging laws which include important rent controls and eviction protections!
It is now illegal for any landlord - located anywhere in California - to charge (or advertise) rents 10% or above what they were charging before February 10. This is for ALL California tenants in new or existing tenancies.
Additionally, it is illegal for a landlord to evict tenants and then re-rent the vacated unit at a higher rent than what the evicted tenant is paying.
What can tenants do if a landlord increases their rent above 10% during a State of Emergency?
File a claim with the Attorney General of California's office. To learn more and file a claim, call here (800) 952-5225 or file online here.
The moratorium is in effect through April 17, 2020, and the City Council may extend it. The moratorium stops residential evictions for nonpayment of rent due to impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak.
The moratorium applies to all residential properties in San José, including:
To stop an eviction during the moratorium, renters must document that they have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and they have suffered a substantial loss of income due to COVID-19 or related emergency declarations by local, State, or federal agencies.
When the moratorium ends, landlords will be able to seek unpaid rent - i.e., past due rent that was not paid during the moratorium - from their tenants.

Taxes:
SCC Property Tax:
To Prevent the Spread of the Coronavirus, In-Person Payments are Temporarily Unavailable
April 10 deadline can not be changed.
Penalties, costs, or other charges will be waved resulting from tax delinquency due to reasonable cause and circumstances related to this crisis. Property owners can take advantage of the partial payment program and make multiple partial payments on the installment due.
California - Tax extension:
March 12, 2020, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California issued an executive order to provide tax relief to taxpayers amid COVID-19 concerns.
The FTB will also waive interest and any late filing or late payment penalties that would otherwise apply.
The FTB’s June 15 extended due date may be pushed back even further if the Internal Revenue Service grants a longer relief period.
Taxpayers claiming the special COVID-19 relief should write the name of the state of emergency (for example, COVID-19) in black ink at the top of the tax return to alert FTB of the special extension period. If taxpayers are e-filing, they should follow the software instructions to enter disaster information.
Quarterly estimated tax payments due on April 15 now have a 60-day extension to pay by June 15.
Partnerships and LLCs who are taxed as partnerships whose tax returns are due on March 15 now have a 90-day extension to file and pay by June 15.
Directly from the Employment Development Department: “Employers experiencing a hardship as a result of COVID-19 may request up to a 60-day extension of time from the EDD to file their state payroll reports and/or deposit state payroll taxes without penalty or interest. A written request for extension must be received within 60 days from the original delinquent date of the payment or return.
For questions, employers may call the EDD Taxpayer Assistance Center. Toll-free from the U.S. or Canada: 1-888-745-3886. Hearing impaired (TTY): 1-800-547-9565. Outside the U.S. or Canada: 1-916-464-3502”
“If you owe a payment to the IRS, you can defer up to $1 million as an individual — and the reason why we are doing $1 million is because that covers lots of pass-throughs and small businesses — and $10 million to corporations, interest-free and penalty-free for 90 days. All you have to do is file your taxes, you'll automatically not get charged interest and penalties”
This is not the same as NOT filing - you must file on time or with an approved extension.
