'Shelter in place' is an extremely confusing phrase because, as of now at least, it doesn’t mean what it sounds like

If the public doesn’t know exactly what’s expected of them or exactly what the prognosis is for the immediate future, that’s a recipe for making an already-difficult period only more confusing and chaotic.
During the coronavirus crisis, though, shelter in place has become part of the American vernacular in a much different and more confusing way. Take the Bay Area and Sacramento. About 9 million people there are under what has been described as a shelter-in-place order — except it is nothing like that.
In New York City there’s some similar ambiguity. There has been a long, drawn-out conversation over whether the city should institute a shelter-in-place order: Mayor Bill de Blasio seems to want one, while Governor Andrew Cuomo has dragged his feet and highlighted the practical difficulties.
