Sheesh, why can’t people just be happy that the numbers are good in the Bay Area?


Many on this board are purportedly fans of Stanford athletics, so you’d think people could be glad if anything is going right in Santa Clara County.



And while income and food delivery may help, you know another place with high incomes and food delivery? New York City.



Income probably helps, work-from-home tech jobs probably help. But also people being community-minded, people following facts and science, and people wearing masks probably is helping the Bay Area, also.

I would be cautious about triumphalism or assuming that fewer infections are the result of the virtue of the population.  The pandemic is very capricious and really likes to punish hubris, and no sooner does one region think that it has done what it needs to control the pandemic than COVID-19 decides to rear its ugly head.  I have seen plenty of behavior in my neighborhood that would support viral transmission.
