Unlike most people, I watched the Zoom press conference and saw the Berkeley health director make the comment that has lex so bent out of shape.
It offends me when people claim these protectors of our health are bureaucrats with agendas to shut our lives down, and this is "murica and we do what we want, damnit!
If you watch and listen to these people talk, you can see how difficult it is for them to be making the calls they are making. I actually thought the woman from Berkeley lex has concluded is Mary Antoinette, struck the greatest balance between shutting things down and allowing some gatherings to continue when she specifically said Cal's athletics program is exempt from the shutdown orders because they have presented and are executing strict protocols to keep athletes safe and from spreading virus in community. She's not being draconian, but how many other Berkeley operations have the resources and ability to implement safety precautions like UCB's Athletics department? There is an inherent unfairness here, but life isn't fair.
Her comment about your bubble being popped was an effort to demonstrate just how serious a situation it is and what everyone must do to protect not only themselves and their families, but also other people, health care workers, and the system itself. The day Dr. Cody issued the no sports directive, SCC had 47 hospital admissions. On Sunday night, the even tighter restrictions were made, closing outdoor dining and limiting retail occupancy. Yesterday there were 75 new hospitalizations in SCC. The 7-day rolling avg. new reported infections is over 500.
The only tool we have that absolutely stops spread is distancing, not getting together with anyone period. Spread absolutely must stop, or at least dramatically slow or we will not be able to handle the damage. These public health guardians are at their wit's end. And someone is going to get all worked up that one would dare say your bubble has popped in a desperate plea to convince people to isolate form others. Amazing. A neighbor's friend's husband died of Covid last week. Yesterday I learned a former neighbor's daughter's husband -and former S.F Giants drafted Pitcher - is very sick with Covid. Michigan's football team reports 45 players have Covid this week.
Can someone post a link to what this Morrow person said?
