Wow, with all this flagging, Newsom's arms must be tired.

More seriously, when is he going to actually do something?

Good question, but to me an even better one is why the County Health Department isn't shutting these counties down. It is their job to protect the public in their county. Is it that they don't have the courage to act or is it that they really don't think it is necessary?

Also a good question.  I can only speak to my county (Sacramento).  Our county official has been saying that "nearly all" (or similar language) of the cases so far have been traced to family gatherings, so they just need to encourage people to not have those.

In reality, there is no f***ing way that they have traced all or nearly all of the cases.  And even if they have, whatever they are doing to stop people from getting together is not working.

Shutting down restaurants and bars (and gyms and movie theaters...) is the best and, imo, only way we have to send the signal that people need to go back to social distancing like we were in April.  It's like we've just given up after the initial lockdown.
