"This article takes the view that Breed scrambled to get in front of a train being operated by the county health officers."



I think that was her job. Coach the citizens of SF through the crisis. I really didn't think too much of her previously, but she has stood up and acted like a leader throughout this mess.

Preempting the press conference scheduled by the health officers was grand standing. She ran the risk of undercutting the effectiveness of the orders. Most of the Bay area is not San Francisco. By making the orders about San Francisco politics, she may have undercut the credibility of the orders outside of the city. Out in the burbs, San Francisco politics is like watching bickering macaques at the zoo, amusing at first but eventually just noise. The health officials were trying to keep the orders from being seen as political. Breed could have waited a few hours but just couldn't stand being out of the limelight that long.
