Gavin Newsom's own prediction is that half of the people in the state will be infected with the virus. If Newsom is correct, then at least half of his employees will be quarantined

I think Newsom meant that half of the people would be infected in the absence of mitigation measures such as the "stay at home" order. I assume the adoption of the "stay at home" order should reduce the number of people expected to be infected.
