You guys should look at South Korea (as one example) to see how much more effective efforts to keep the pandemic in check are, when people just abide by what the health experts say.

As I have posted here before, the Korean CDC decides if the KBO (Korean Pro Baseball) will play, how, and if fans are allowed and how many. Our CDC has been neutered and in some cases, so too have our public health officials. If we all just paid attention and followed what we are told, we would not be facing nearly as drastic measures. When we cross the rubicon from an ability to be contained proactively challenge, to reactive catastrophe, we lose our ability to be choosy. We were warned and didn't heed warnings when things didn't seem that bad.

I don't need Dr. Cody to outline every data point that justifies her decision. I trust the leaders in Santa Clara County to have chosen someone who knows WTF she is doing to protect the health of residents in Santa Clara County.

Upon what do you base that trust?  Does that go for all the other health directors in California counties?   Do you trust those political bodies as well? Given these are counties were generally talking about Bds of Supervisors.  
 
What warnings did we  in the Bay Area not heed. Be specific please.

I trust people until they prove to me they can't be trusted.  Nothing Dr. Cody has done has damaged that trust. In fact, she's gained my trust, because she was one of the first health officials in the country to act decisively, and Santa Clara County has kept its infections under control better than any other large county in the country to this point.  I don't necessarily like the restrictions, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't be trusted.  And the fact she has turned out to be effective at her job also gives me confidence in those who hired her.

Just because you, me and others have been responsible, it's clearly evident many people haven't been, else we wouldn't have added 2,000 new confirmed infections in the last few days.
