@dad4...the math part of this will keep you entertained for a good hour (I'll admit I found it challenging). But they challenge your assumptions that it's all about the R0. It's really a very fascinating piece....not saying it's all correct....but it does raise a lot of very interesting issues.

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.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.

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?
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.
For all hoping we could somehow imitate Australia, move to New York...you might just get your wish (this is my line in the sand).

Isn't that the bill that started around the Ebola outbreak? And never went anywhere? My guess is this will do the same.

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.

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.
