I screamed out loud tonight when I heard a Bay Area county health official say his office traces the latest growth in cases to Halloween gatherings.

AYFKM??!?!  We couldn't go one year sitting out Halloween? It's like we pissed away all the progress we had made, that was allowing businesses to be open to some level, so they can shut down again all so people could put on stupid costumes with each other.

Just infuriating.

Really? I don't know anyone who celebrated Halloween.

I put the official's comment in the 'talk is cheap' category.

Another case of undermining a public official, in this case a public health official, due to politics, despite the fact that the public health official has expertise and access to county private data, and you do not.

And You don’t know anyone who celebrated Halloween? Then you don’t know many people. When I drove home Halloween night , I saw dozens of trick or treaters out at that moment, and I saw a good number outside. I’d estimate trick or treating was down 60-70% in my neighborhood from a typical year, but still quite significant.
