Interesting. CA shut down at midnight on St. Patrick's day (March 17th) and people pretty much followed the guidelines as there were no big crowds shown on TV going to bars in SF, which I believe were shut down. The parade was also cancelled. Much earlier, NOLA held their Mardi Gras on Feb 25th.... Did NYC also have a similar large party for Mardi Gras or is the simple act of riding crowded subways in NYC that much more dangerous than riding crowded BART trains in the SF Bay Area? Many counties in CA are quite red politically and very rural just like many of the red, rural parts of the US that are not seeing high infection rates. Needless to say, they probably don't have restaurants that are on the tour stopping list for Chinese travelers who come to the US to see how close to authentic cooking they can get in groups here... It will be interesting to see all the results of studies on all this data, if we live long enough that is. Hopefully we learn something, but when you have people thinking it is OK to burn coal just because the climate models are imperfect, anything is possible including regressing to stupidity.

Texas sees through the veil. According to my son, many parts of Texas are open again as of Friday. Even here in liberal Southern California, people are starting to ignore the morons who run this state and are opening their businesses on the sly. Traffic is increasing in leaps and bounds by each and every day. There is a strong sense out there that the people were getting zoomed. Now they are starting to say "eff you, we have to eat and pay our rent." I love the spirit of the American people. This is a great country and will remain so as long as the socialists are not allowed to completely take over.
