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.

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.
 
Full blown wedding reception indoors, no masks, at an event space this weekend on Mission Bay. Just got notice our practice is cancelled due to a possible player Covid case. Mom has Covid, but kid tested negative and hasn't been at practice since the 17th. Club is being super cautious and mentioned that practice is likely canceled for week.

School closures -> less education -> lower income -> shorter life. Each step has been accepted as showing strong correlation , but none of those correlations were established in times like the current situation

Here's a similar argument --

Moose can't fly and goose sounds like moose, so goose can't fly.

Fair criticism. Not my study and like many of these on the other side that engage in hyperbole, I tend to view with skepticism. Still, an interesting point...even if the numbers aren't correct. It raises interesting questions like the tradeoff in lives we are making for the young v the lives of the old.

Dr. Flip Flop: A timeline of Fauci's school reopening positions

Early on, Fauci was "blessing" school closures and attacking proponents of reopening. He now claims to have supported reopening the whole time.

I like Fauci and he is a brilliant immunologist but he got in way for his head. He's a lab guy, and is not an overall health policy expert and certainly not a big picture guy. An asset for the task force but never should have been the lead figurehead. Was not savvy enough as an interviewee and painted himself into a corner way too many times with less than circumspect answers. Bright but naive.

BTW he was on the Chris Coumo show last week and Fauci was in favor of schools being open at the goading of Cuomo who apparently is a big proponent of school reopenings. Interestingly enough, CNN deleted that part of the interview with Fauci on their website.
