And we have no one to blame but ourselves.
With the harshest of initial pandemic closures lifted around Memorial Day, many Californians seemed to think the danger from the novel coronavirus was over and rushed out to make up for three terrible months of quarantine. We partied, we protested, we patronized salons and stores. And too often, we did so without maintaining a safe distance from others or wearing a face mask. Businesses ignored infection-control rules in large numbers, and some county sheriffs refused to enforce the rules.And — surprise, surprise — the virus took full advantage of our lowered defenses. COVID-19 cases have risen steadily over the past month, with Los Angeles as the hottest hot spot in the state.
Some of the restrictions seem reasonable. Bars, for example: Drinking alcohol generally makes people less cautious, and crowding a bunch of drinkers together seems like a particularly bad idea right now. But why pick on salons and tattoo parlors? I haven’t seen any evidence suggesting they are a major source of transmission.
opinion He's a dimwit. Hence all the dim talk.

opinion What about the protesters? PC doesn't allow us to tell the truth. Gov. rather shut down CA than recognize this. He goes to great extend to mainly blame our fate on economy reopening.
opinion If you meant 'hyperbolic fear-mongering news media' when you said 'ourselves', then I agree with you.
opinion Matter of fact, Since March, there has been more people I know who got COVID and recovered without any medication because hospitals have been holding back on giving medication unless your about to die. DemocratsAreDomesticTerrorists
opinion All the self serving, self interest people (mostly young) that have no concept of containment and what it can do to stop the virus.
opinion I hate this universe.
opinion BULLSHIT. This is all about control. The POS Newscum is shuttling many minority owned businesses because of cases. NOT deaths, but CASES. But he still have his wineries open like he did on the Fourth of July. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

opinion I beg your pardon I’ve been at home for four months straight
opinion Yep, we did it by eating at Applebee’s.
opinion Blame the summer heat. It was supposed to single handedly flatten the curve.
opinion Really? First shutdown was never to eliminate but had to do with hospital resources. What are the thresholds..if we reach xyz hospital capacity we close, if we fall below we open. If the death rate is abc we close if it falls below it opens.
opinion You can thank the protesters, rioters, and looters for the increase in cases and ruining it for the rest of us. And they have been continuously gathering and spreading the virus and governments and media don't call it out. And they are still protesting and spreading the virus!
opinion are we 10 years old?

opinion We’ve all heard the msging about following science for decision making. Do we have data on where people are getting the virus? Is it hair salons, churches, etc? I’m genuinely curious if this is being tracked and if it’s influencing these decisions on what to close.
opinion Thanks BLM and Antifa
opinion black Americans been on lock down every sense we was brought here to America
opinion Who couldn't see that coming.
opinion Who is to blame - BLM an extreme Marxist violent group formed to overthrow all systems of a civil society. Marxists/commies protesting in the hundreds of thousands.
opinion More bullshit for sheep.
opinion I blame the MAGA “Covid isn’t real” people and the protesters.
opinion People just don’t have the discipline to stay put for couple of months! Why is mask wearing a thing still? Wear the damn masks! If doctors and nurses can wear them all day people can wear them while shopping
opinion Shutdown--reopen--shutdown--reopen......
opinion Media should report on increases in mental issues such as depression, in number of suicides, in drug abuse, in child abuse arising from continuous lockdown.
opinion I don’t blame myself. I blame everyone who didn’t take this seriously. I’ve stayed home.
opinion What is the matter with you? This is just insane, the world is in the middle of a mass hysteria. We are done.
opinion We gna see who will actually lockdown..
opinion Orange County
opinion
opinion How about our president and lack of a government calling this a hoax and influencing all those listening to them.
opinion It’s really not with everyone and their moms al fresco dining. Meeting friends sharing wine and food, embracing each other with no masks.
opinion Protesters would be a start!! I blame them, don't you.
