I would guess that Californians have been more compliant than many states with mitigation measures and they were already slow to ease up on restrictions. Are they attempting to get out somewhat ahead of COVID by these lockdowns in comparison to other states when in fact their rate of spread is less than many states? I haven't looked? Is it possible and even probable that their large homeless population and large population of illegal residents is fueling their rise in cases?

I personally think we need to keep schools open as much as possible and places of work too. However, everyone needs to be more responsible. I'm afraid we've entered the most dangerous phase of dealing with COVID. The number of hospitalizations and deaths is now at an all time high and is on the rise. Lots of other states will be enacting restrictive measures soon unfortunately.

I am very much a political conservative, but for those of you who were saying no one would be saying anything about COVID once the election was over, what are you saying now? The number of hospitalizations has tripled since Oct 1st, doubled since Nov 1st and we lost over 3K Americans with COVID yesterday.

Trump and Biden both should be begging people to primarily avoid large crowds. There were over 400 new cases in Greenville county yesterday, yet people still are being drawn like moths to a light to bars and restaurants. As Americans, we should do better. If we wear the #### masks, wash our hands, but more importantly not gather in large crowds, we can still work, go to school, recreate, have elective surgery and even see the CFP conclude. If we don't change our habits, we are indeed in for a very dark next several months with vast economic consequences.

Come on Tigers--this isn't a political thing. Let's all reflect on what each of us can do to protect our family, friends and neighbors.

It’s crazy how so many of you on here talk about things you know nothing about as if you do.

California is about to go on full lockdown (in some places) some may not. California is a HYUGE state and different parts have handled this differently, Therefore there been different levels of cases and restrictions.
Most of SoCal have been by far the worse (outside if LA & SD, that’s trump country) where people laugh at mask wearers. See video above at Huntington Beach. They also tried to open up earlier. They opened gyms, hair salons, malls and even indoor dining about a month ago, but it didn’t last bc of the # spiked. They have continued to climb so last week they closed outdoor dining and the like, and issued a stay at home.

NorCal has handled things differently, with each county and Mayors setting their restrictions... no matter what Governor Gavin Newsom says. Mayor London Breed of SF, has been most cautious with opening. Only outdoor dining/bars, gyms, haircuts ( for a brief moment indoor was open at very limited capacity, then closed)

Late last week certain counties have been issued stay at home orders, if hospital cases get to a certain level. Some cases have opted out of that that too. We shall see what enforcement comes of that.

Cali is a complete state, bigger than several other stares, with mixed local leadership ( pubs and dems) and they all have to make decisions. It’s weird that so many of you want to politicize EVERYTHING.

California is on the verge of complete lockdown

South Dakota did it so well.
