Remember that what you are seeing now reflects transmissions from a week ago, so things will likely continue to get worse.  LA went into a modified lockdown (excepting religious services, no doubt on account of the recent US Supreme Court decision on the matter in New York and protests).

Understand.   But I repeat where is the scientific or factual evidence that pro or college sports without fans in the stands have been a contributor to the spread. Heck, Santa Clara county right now has the highest rate in the bay area. Perhaps the other counties should be ban any travel to their county from anybody from Santa Clara County?

 Again, this just smacks of arbitrary of doing something or trying to show that they are doing something.

Let's pretend you were in charge of the health of the citizens of your county. lex.  You are seeing hospital capacity diminish and virus spread is expected to continue as a result of Thanksgiving gatherings. What tools do you have at your disposal? 

If you see the number of teams having virus issues - pro and college - it tells you sports are a spread vector now, because there is so much virus in communities.

760 cases today, up fully a third from yesterday, hospitalizations way up, too, and the fun is just beginning

I'm very pragmatic. The resurgence probably justifies fairly severe regulations.

But I'd also opine that public resistance probably is due as much to bureaucratic overkill and resulting cynicism as public obstinance.

That said, the crisis is with us, big time, and we have to respond
