The brakes haven't yet helped.  SCC R is about 1.6 today.  LA County is 1.55.  California has the highest R among the states at 1.53.

Sadly, not yet. There is a slight downturn in the recent curve, but that may just be the periodic variation we see in the previous month's data. Even if it is going down a bit, it is still well above 1 and would have to fall off a cliff to help much in the next few weeks.

That slight downturn for the most recent data has been there each time I have looked.  I think they must be using the most recent, and incomplete, data, resulting in that downward curve at the far right.
