California did it the right way.

SFGbob

SF has been closed down since March. The office where I work closed on March 13th and but for a few people in IT and the mailroom has remained closed since then. There is nowhere that you can go anywhere in SF or the Bay Area for that matter where you'll see people not wearing masks. Hell in my neighborhood you'll see people wearing masks while they walk their dog or ride their bike by themselves.

And yet, here we are.



California - the country's largest and richest state - is the new epicenter of America's coronavirus crisis, with unprecedented surges of seriously infected patients threatening to overwhelm hospitals and overflow morgues.

The state is reporting unnerving numbers: California has set nationwide records for new cases again and again in the past week - most recently on Wednesday, when it posted more than 41,000 infections. If California were a country, it would be among the world leaders in new covid-19 cases, ahead of India, Germany and Britain.

Sounds grim

Hopefully Biden does more of the same

Saint Gavin and Queen Nancy will save them.

Cases don't matter.

Inslee will start instituting sympathy lockdowns here out of respect for Californians.

Striking data considering:

1) Similar Climate
2) High Density Populations in big cities
3) Completely opposite public health strategy

Lockdowns clearly don't work. But we knew that.

Well, I live in San Mateo County. Looking at a smaller set of data, it appears every time they close us down, the worse it gets. I really think let me people do their thing, data wise, has been the best action.

Sounds like something a science denier would say

Science vs. Math showdown.

CA just needed more time to get their guys in there. But still, they've got some work to do to catch up to FL.

FL - 950 Deaths / 1M
CA - 563 Deaths / 1M

We'll have to see how it shakes out in the end.

Also noteworthy, one state has a cratered economy and one doesn’t. Similar total deaths, Cali in the lead there currently.

California can do what it wants.

Just returned from 10 days in Florida.
Everyone in masks.
Go figure.

No. Not similar total deaths. FL almost double per capita.

I think the lock downs are mostly FS and counter productive. But let’s CA cordwood has been way lower than FL and that’s fact.

Looked it up yesterday, CA at 22k, FL at 20k.

Yella is talking deaths per million. More people in Cali, hence a lower rate of death. He's also saying that Cali might catch up because nothing we do seems to really work in the long run.

Washington Post just today is reporting that this is all Trump's fault because he didn't take it seriously enough.
