She added that a “general trust of public health officials in the Bay Area, leading to greater compliance with stay-at-home measures” may also explain why the surge isn’t as bad here compared with Southern California.

I'd like to think it is a reflection of the bay area's compliance with public health regulations. Part of that is true.

It also reflects the fact that we have made the bay area a very inhospitable place for the working poor. Our numbers are good in part because we forced our low income residents to leave.

Is it really greater "compliance" when so many of the tech geeks rarely leave the house in the first place?
 
The bad news in OC some say is the cases are way way and way up. Common flu is way way way down this year. I have a question for Dad or Wuhan.
Why coronavirus deaths have not paced the soaring cases in Orange County?
 
My wife spoke to her bro in Japan last night. He said the virus is out of control now. Everyone has been wearing a mask and their super clean, wash hands and all that clean stuff. However, that Covid 19 got in his city somehow and fear is in full session. Most of the people are scratching their heads wondering how Covid 19 is spreading so fast.
 
Isn't that the bill that started around the Ebola outbreak? And never went anywhere? My guess is this will do the same.

An MD, (vs someone who knows law,) who contributes to Newsmax is likely not the best source.
 
Watch this you all. I just about pee in my pants laughing so hard. Now L Wood is saying some crazy stuff.

Alarming number of US health care workers are refusing COVID-19 vaccine

US health care workers are first in line to receive the COVID-19 vaccine — but an alarming number across the country are refusing to do so. Earlier this week, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine disc…

Meanwhile, NY is throwing up a bunch of rules which would prohibit a "hey, pizza guy" approach like Israel and means some vaccine may go to waste instead of people that want them. Once again, NY showing everyone what NOT to do.

Not good.
 
This little piece about the drop in enrollment in Catholic schools in SoCal (despite several of them having in person waivers) has me worried. First, a disclaimer, that Catholic schools have been going through a decline generally over the last decade. We also know private elementary schools with in person learning are oversubscribed right now. The article claims the decline in enrollment is due to financial reasons (despite these schools servicing people who are in the category who have to work despite lockdowns). It tells me a few things: a) the shift away from public elementary schools is largely an upper middle class/upper class thing (which means suburban schools are where we'll feel the public school reckoning first), b) for the working class, it means that the drop we are seeing in attendance at public school probably isn't a shift to other educational alternatives (whether private, parochial, charter or homeschooling) but kids just not doing schooling which means the educational crisis is probably being understated at least for LA County and c) I'm beginning to lean on the there's a reckoning coming as opposed to a boom is coming from pent up demand on the economic front.

Plunging enrollment leaves Catholic schools struggling to serve low-income students

L.A. Catholic schools, where nearly 8 in 10 are students of color, have seen plunging enrollment as parents pull their kids out for financial reasons.

Garcetti admitting masks not working....he claims its because be passed a "tipping point" and holiday gatherings. Disagrees Newsom's vaccine rollout is going poorly, blames Feds for not appropriating $. Though the figures for 2 days are inflated due to a backlog in holiday numbers/testing, Los Angeles case numbers still haven't dipped and weekly average still rising.

do you mean “not working” or “insufficient”?
 
Let's see, darkest days ever and ever is coming he said with a smirk. He said 100% that the one lucky essential worker ((ditch digger or AC teach dude or now the furnace guy)) in a household of 8 that are all on lockdown comes home from catching Rona from another essential hard worker or house he was in helping bring heat to a cold house. Everyone else is on lock down and then dad brings the virus home. His dum kids who have their guard down then sneak out to play with other kids dum friends. He also said that now more then ever healthy people are dropping like flies. He didnt give any data or stats but he says so, so he is right. He blamed the kids again like they all do. He also thinks LA is fired up & excited with hope sprinkled on top about the vaccine and because of that many have their guard down because their so hopeful to get that bat virus from Wuhan U that we now know was man made or came from bat cave to lab then to Batman or Batwoman? Something happen here folks. Is this guy for real? He has that smile that is odd to me. Good luck LA, I mean that.
