I know you are "on the ground", so I take your comments with some hope, but this article (https://deadline.com/2020/07/los-angeles...202987728/) seems to suggest that the bigger picture in LA county is more dire than you make it appear.

Here is LA's own judgement of how they are doing:  http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/C...hboard.htm
Mostly marked as checkmarks.   Deaths better; hospitalizations worse; icu better; ventilators worse (but plenty). PPE available.

Note: they are almost double (4600) the maximum number (2500) of cases they aimed their contact tracing staffing levels at, but they still claim they are "initiating investigating within one day of assignment" for 96.7% of the cases.  ("Hey, Joe, case #4000, John Doe is assigned to you." "I got him.  I typed his name in, and clicked the box saying I've initiated my investigation into to him.  I've even put his phone number into the robocall list.   Who's next?")
