a hand to other states by providing medical equipment:

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-06/newsom-california-ventilators-coronavirus-peak

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday announced that California was lending 500 state-owned ventilators to the Strategic National Stockpile to help New York and other COVID-19 hot spots facing shortages of the desperately needed medical devices.

We want to extend not only thoughts and prayers, but were also extending a hand of support with ventilators, Newsom said during a press briefing Monday in Sacramento.

Newsom said lending the critically needed ventilators was possible because hospitals throughout California have procured thousands of devices in the last few weeks, increasing their total ventilator inventory from 7,587 to 11,036.

Given that coronavirus cases are not expected to peak until May, under current estimates, California could afford to lend the medical devices to parts of the country where they are in seriously short supply, Newsom said.

The governor said the state also has continued searching worldwide for additional ventilators, as well as masks and other personal protective equipment for healthcare workers and others, to increase its stockpile.

About 1,000 additional ventilators are currently being refurbished by Bloom Energy, a Silicon Valley fuel-cell company, nearly half of which could be available by Tuesday.

For all of those reasons, and the responsibility the moral and ethical responsibility of providing resources in real time to those most in need thats why we thought it appropriate to send those, Newsom said.

One reason California can afford to spare ventilators, at least for now, is because the vast majority of Californians have heeded orders to stay at home and, when venturing outside to buy essentials or for recreation, have also maintained the recommended social distancing from others.

If Californians maintain that behavior, California should have enough ventilators to care for those in need in the state for the near future, Newsom said.

The south needs to take note.

Not only is the majority of south obese (makes it easier for them to contract the virus and get sick), many of them are still not taking social distancing seriously. You still have people in the south trying get together for church and other religious reasons.

I'm not out enough to accurately tell, but when I am out there doesn't seem to be that many people taking any precautions. I go to the market a half hour before they close and there are at most 30 other people there, and everyone wants to stand next to you. There 150 cases here, but like 20k people haven't been tested so it's not accurate enough to feel that kind of safe

this is happening to portland in general. it's not as a whole.
good reason for it: still alot of cases in washington county ie portland. the healthcare system couldn't handle the tourists if they got sick. not very many ventilators.

I'm in south carolina, and from what I noticed the few times I had to go out for something, people are still carrying on like nothing is wrong whatsoever. Kids riding up and down the suburbs on bikes in groups of like, 6, people having cook outs, wal-mart being a mad house (since all the clubs and things like bowling alleys is closed, you have all the young people gathering in the wal-mart parking lot and the store itself....girls dressed like they going to the club at wal-mart, lol), etc. I see most of the older people using masks, maintaining distance and whatnot, but our young people ain't giving a shit at the moment.

Here in Hawaii people seem to be following the social distancing pretty well. There's tape on the ground showing where to stand in line at grocery stores, most people are wearing masks, and they try to space themselves out on the bus. Except the kids. I haven't seen a middle/high schooler wearing a mask yet, and they stay in clusters.

4th, but the death rate in cali is only 10 per million. For comparison new yorks is over 200, Louisiana is over 100

For a west coast state with multiple dense cities this is impressive

Live in LA in SoCal, don't got out as much but when I go grocery shopping I see the majority of the people wearing some form of a face mask with some of them wearing disposable gloves. So I'll say it's accurate that a lot of people (where I live) are taking it seriously.

Cali is the 1st most populous state. Anything other than a 1st place ranking in total infections means they are mathematically provably doing an above-par job.

...Is the bottom line. Disagree with math if you must, though
