Y'all should watch this. There are even questions answered about sports in the reporter Q&A. Really insightful and makes me appreciate the hell out of our public health leaders. They show compassion, are honest, and are willing to make very tough decisions to protect us. Dr. Cody even provides context for why Santa Clara County has taken sports off the table while other counties haven't. A mystery why San Mateo hasn't joined in as yet.
I'll post on the Covid board too...

Well, OF I think this provides a great example of confirmation bias.(Not an attack, I’m talking my own as well). Because you and I look at this differently at times . I viewed the Q&A and the statements quite differently. First off by no means did Dr. Cody give the context of why Santa Clara hasn’t taken sports off the table (or issued that portion of their order in the first place). She simply reiterated their old order. There was no given reason as to why SCC did this and will continue to when no other county is. The question is at the 43 minute mark. In fact, both Berkeley’s and SF directors indicated why they did not do the ban. Empphazing the communication between the teams and the health departments and protocols in place. So what makes SCC different? Not asked.
Of course these people are going to show compassion – if they can’t do that then they’re really in the wrong job. But I still don’t think they provided any real information. They spoke primarily in generalities as is often the case. And they assed nothing to what Newsom had spoken about the day before as a need to put these regional measures in place.
As to the question asked – no one asked a very simple question and that is “what was wrong with Newsom‘s regional trigger provision” Because basically what they say over and over again is that they’re going to align with the state order we’re just pushing the timing up. Well why? What was wrong with what the state determined was the right trigger? It’s an obvious question to ask. No one did.
