California is completely free of virus.

As of Tuesday, the state had 374 reported COVID-19 fatalities in a state of 40 million people, compared to New York which has seen 14 times as many fatalities and has a population half that of California. Social distancing could be playing a role but New York's stay-at-order went into effect on March 22, three days after California implemented its order.
The stay at home order was and is worthless and needs to be eliminated from any further consideration. People didn't stay home anyway. And places that ignored it are the same as the sheep cowering under the bed.
But we did crash the world economy and get a tee shirt -
Getting closer to maybe thinking about figuring whether I was right.I am right.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/simple-blood-test-covid-19-antibodies-reopen-economy/story?id=70024837With a White House increasingly anxious to get the economy in gear and an approved vaccine for the novel coronavirus still months away at best, public health officials are hoping that tens of millions of Americans will have access to a simple blood test that can identify recovered patients who've developed some kind of immune response to the virus.
The idea behind the push is that people who have been exposed to the virus form antibodies in their bloodstream that may help them to fight off another infection. The hope is that the body's antibodies against COVID-19 can diminish the chances of re-infection. Theoretically, those found to have immunized antibodies could then return to work and help reignite the economy.
Commercial labs are scrambling to develop and distribute serologic tests, as they are known, in large quantities -- and the federal government is doing its best to expedite an approval process that is, under normal circumstances, lengthy and cumbersome.
Adm. Brett Giroir, tapped by President Donald Trump to lead testing efforts, said he is "very optimistic" that tens of millions of the tests will be available by May. And he says it could dramatically change what we know about the scope of infection inside the United States.
https://hotair.com/archives/ed-morrissey/2020/04/08/abc-us-turn-corner-mass-covid-19-testing/In my earlier post, I wondered whether we knew enough to be optimistic at all. Our evidence of progress against COVID-19 comes from secondary measures — the rise and fall of death totals, hospitalizations, and in the Kinsa series, reported fevers. While that data has value, it doesn’t give us any direct evidence on just how far the disease has spread, nor what its expected lethality might be. The only people being tested now are the symptomatic and those who have come into contact with them, which means our direct evidence comes from a self-selecting sample that tells us little about the status of populations in the US.
Having test capacity on this scale, however, and with quick results to boot, would change all of those calculations. We would have hard and direct evidence of the footprints of the disease within the US. Those who have recovered from mild and unsuspected cases could be freed from self-isolation; those at risk without antibodies would know to continue it. It would finally allow us to project lethality on a rational basis, as well as prepare for a second or third wave down the road based on where the highest risks would be. -

More proof that California is the most corrupt state in the Union.
The state is getting N95 masks, designed to protect against particles in the air, as well as surgical masks, which protect against fluids.
California taxpayers will pay $495 million upfront for the masks. The state will pay more as other shipments arrive, with a total estimated payment of $990 million, according to a letter the Newsom administration sent to the Legislature.
Newsom signed an executive order Tuesday eliminating sales and other taxes on masks, gloves, eye protection, gowns and other materials needed to protect people.
California is going to burn a Billion bucks on masks.

A critical question in the path towards the future is how many people actually have protective novel coronavirus antibodies and possible immunity? Two research teams in California -- backed by armies of dedicated volunteers -- set out to answer this very question and the first set of results are in.
The first large-scale community test of 3,300 people in Santa Clara County found that 2.5 to 4.2% of those tested were positive for antibodies -- a number suggesting a far higher past infection rate than the official count.
Based on the initial data, researchers estimate that the range of people who may have had the virus to be between 48,000 and 81,000 in the county of 2 million -- as opposed to the approximately 1,000 in the county's official tally at the time the samples were taken.
“Our findings suggest that there is somewhere between 50- and 80-fold more infections in our county than what’s known by the number of cases than are reported by our department of public health," Dr. Eran Bendavid, the associate professor of medicine at Stanford University who led the study, said in an interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer.
I'm no whiz kid but doesn't this mean the death rate is grimly lower? -
