(5/13/20) I am grateful to have been invited to write a feature on COVID-19 in California and Orange County (OC) in the Orange County Business Journal for the prestigious back page OC Leader Board. There is a lot going on in OC and like everywhere strong sentiment to begin easing social restrictions. Gov. Gavin Newsom is implementing plans to relax restriction, but contingent on meeting certain metrics regarding rates of decreases of active cases and minimum testing requirements. Nearly all counties do not meet them yet, but of course we are seeing open rebellion, Tesla being the most covered example.
California has been doing very well compared to other states in the union and OC better than most CA counties. However, the numbers, e.g., death rate, cases, and most particularly hospitalization rates are not declining as expected and this vulnerable population is still prone to a major outbreak, particularly as LA is reaching epidemic proportions. Rather than repeat what I have written, please check out the article. Here is the article and a link to download:
Congratulations, every has to start someplace. Best Wishes
