What truly amazes me is how much power these unelected experts are weilding. And to the extent there is a political check on them, it's the supervisors. I don't know about you guys, but I've never voted on a supervisor in recent memory, let alone gone out and researched what their potential positions might be on shutdowns when faced with an emergency. At the minimum, for all Newsom's faults, I voted for governor and can hold him accountable for the decisions and generally know where he stands by way of partisan politics, but until all this started I paid more attention to our local council than the supervisors.
As soon as possible under what conditions? Vaccine? Hope not. If so, we’re talking Fall.

The Libertarian side of me says when in doubt enforce the rights the constitution guarantees. If a judge even loosely enforces these rights then much of what is being done in this pandemic should be overturned. The issue is mandates are being enacted by the governor everyday. Lawsuits take time and money and without a judiciary willing to stand up for the people and their rights allows this nonsense to continue.Maybe
Judge says no to letting San Diego County restaurants, gyms reopen indoors amid rise in coronavirus cases

Judge overrules county, allows strip clubs to reopen

In fairness, the case has to be brought to the judges and maybe the attorneys' aren't making the right arguments. How my daughter's dance studio gets closed down but strip clubs can stay open is proof that this is all a charade.
Well have longer to wait for that. It's taken him this long to even say we should try and open them. He reprimanded CBS reporter Bo Erikson 3 days ago for shouting out a question on school openings 3 days ago.

I bet most miss any reference to that book. Great book
Quarantining the hottest infection sites is not "punitive".
I don't see that. What I see is a lot of hand-waving. "Trust me, I used to work for the experts on this.
I also find it curious that you posted the Mark Twain quote. Lack of self-awareness, I suppose.

I’m guessing it depends on how soon teachers get vaccinated. Maybe mid-March, early April if they vaccinate the teachers?
I can't resist this side-track. In the Guide, 42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of life, the universe, and everything. That ultimate question is "what is 6 times 9?" 42 is the correct answer in base 13.
La county supervisors meeting today to discuss banning all in person and outdoor gatherings. Would essentially ban all thanksgiving gatherings (good luck with that) but potentially will also impact sports practices and private trainings (subject to local enforcement of course). Outdoor church and protests exempted.
So the virus is more communicable indoors, so they want to ban all outdoor gatherings so everyone has to shelter indoors. Got it!
we are still actively abusing a generation of children......

Dr. Mike is called out for hypocrisy after he's seen partying maskless
The 31-year-old flew from New York City to Miami to celebrate his birthday on November 12. He's seen on a boat in Sunset Harbor surrounded by 14 other people - most of them bikini-clad women.

Sooo, the COVID19.CA.GOV site has a mantra, “This data drives decisions that keep California healthy and safe.” So I did some digging to see how the numbers could be driving these further “lockdowns” and found something interesting. July 24th was the previous “high point” for Covid in CA, at which time Outdoor dining was Open (and remains open) and we saw a recovery. So I compared the data to more recent numbers (11/23 to be exact), after the state announced we are shutting down Outdoor Dining and implementing a curfew.
New Positive Cases:
7/24 - 10,066
11/23 - 15,329
New Deaths w/ Covid
7/24 - 151 (14 day rolling ave. 99.4)
11/23 - 43 (14 day rolling ave. 54.9)
Total Tests:
7/24 - 131,479
11/23 - 283,819
Positivity Rate:
7/24 - 7.5%
11/23 - 5.6%
Hospitalizations:
7/24 - 8,444
11/24 - 6,641
ICU Beds Available:
7/24 - 2,572
11/23 - 2,126 (3rd straight day of increased availability)
So remind me again why we are once again sacrificing small business owners and people’s livelihoods?

This state and much of this country is run by a extremely political band of misfits who don’t believe in the constitution. Can’t think of any scientific or data driven reasons.
Either can the media.....
How much are restaurants contributing to the spread of COVID-19 in LA County?
Data from L.A. County's health department shows a small percentage of outbreaks have been tied to restaurants and bars. But some have been cited for coronavirus-related violations.

Gov. Newsom considers reinstating stay-at-home order for most of California if COVID-19 trends continue
"If these trends continue, we're going to have to take much more dramatic, arguably drastic action," Newsom said, including "the potential for a stay-at-home order for those regions in purple."

Good freaking luck with that.

Yeah, it's been funny to watch the La County order come down. First, you have the churches and the protests exempt, which weren't first go around. Then all the film and TV production, which were locked down the first time. Box stores remain open. So do hair cuts. Plumbers complained but they clarified plumbers are essential. LAFC complained they clarified LAFC could practice. Essentially, nothing's changed except it might be harder for some LA County teams to get field permits for what's supposed to be distanced practices, playgrounds shut again, outdoor dining was shut (but that was before the stay at home order), and some nonenforceable order about households not getting together. You really think households aren't going to get together to celebrate the holidays? Was in Griffith Park this weekend...sizeable (at least for the times) kid's birthday party going on....more funny they set up this tent for the kids to eat in (which reduces the circulation). The biggest spread in is private gatherings....it's why these limitations won't help much....and short of Australian style lockdowns they can't control these private gatherings.
