We've been pretty fortunate around here. 99% comply with the wearing of masks indoors. If you think about it, the reports estimate that 400 people came out to HB to protest. HB is a city of over 200K. Orange County has like 3.2m people. It takes about half hour with no traffic to travel one side of OC to the other E-W and 45 minutes N-S, so fairly dense. Getting 400 people to show up to a protest is not impressive by our standards, but the news stories make it seem that there is a huge uprising.
Idk I just saw the video on Twitter. Couldn’t tell you how many people were there
For the bad rap that CA and Gov Newsom get, we've done a pretty good job keeping CoVid in check (knock on wood). It's just odd that many in the media think that happened in spite of the restrictions and not because of them. Of course, I'm not in the hospitality or tourism business,. I'd probably be less amenable if I were. I'm just hopeful that the result will be CA being able to rapidly recover once things start to go back to normal.
He is disgusting to me
Celebrities can ear a living but I can’t?
Earn*
The hypocrisy is endless
Are you in CA, too?
Not anymore thank god!
I would be down at that party lol
I'm certainly not envious of what the governors have to do... They are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Not a good defense at all. Unacceptable
Of course, that’s my opinion
With 38m people in the state, our hospitals could be over-run in days, if we had the infection rate of some of the states that are having a real hard time right now.
He is asking a great sacrifice, he should lead by example at least
100% - I can't remember a CA governor that people really loved... Reagan - as governor - was before my time.
And how does he get to cherry pick who gets to live or die?
I'm not sure I get the reference on the who lives or dies...
And how does he cherry picks who can be financially successful? Someone’s life works goes down the tubes-Suicide. The lady yesterday or today in who committed suicide because she couldn’t stand the thought of another lock down.
He’s playing GOD
You probably have figured out I am a data nerd.... During the first lock down, I was doing quite a bit of analysis of the CoVid data. My thinking was that this was a unique time as testing was saved for just those that were symptomatic, I figured that the data up until late June was pretty indicative of survival rates of symptomatic infected persons. During that time, and I tracked it for months, we had a fairly steady national death rate 1 in 18 persons who were symptomatic died.
Our forefathers and my ancestors made sacrifices for FREEDOM! The very freedoms that people like him try to take away so he can have more POWER and money. And while the forefathers threw together the Declaration of Independence and our constitution, we continued to add more freedoms, not take them away!
Then I started looking at other states. In MI, the death rate was 1 in 10.5.
In NY, it was 1 in 15.
It’s my right to risk my health can’t this be compared to pro-choice? It’s my body...
I mapped them all out, at the time, and it was not what the media was telling everyone, because they reported the death rate as a percentage of population, which was basically meaningless.
I think it's different. This is more akin to drunk driving.
They should not take away constitutional rights for any reason. Ever.
No excuse
Amen!
A person could argue that they should be allowed to drive while drunk, because it's their choice. It's possible they would make it home, they could have a solo accident, or they could kill someone.
Not a good analogy
We make all kinds of rules that we all abide by for the good of society - DUI, speed limits, traffic signs, seatbelts, helmets, car seats...
So if you’re scared to die. Stay home
Smoking inside
Because by that logic I could be hit by the drunk driver anyways
Not if nobody drove drunk.
People also have the right to leave this country if they don’t like it lol
Always interesting banter. But your argument would make more sense if there weren't so many low symptom or asymptomatic cases. Death rate per population is the best indicator of severity. To date there is a 99.9% survival rate for those under 70.
I think that's a misleading number, because it requires too many assumptions. The death rate is dependent on many factors, access to medical facilities, adequate medical staff, availability of PPE, availability of therapeutic treatments, etc. As the infection rate goes up, the availability of all those other resources goes down. As resources go down, the death rate goes up. The death rate is only 99.9% per the population, if the infection stays down.
