Poll of the Day > Stay at home order for California?

this shit is getting so stupid

there are going to be ZERO non-corporate businesses by the time this is over

looks like its something that will be done regionally if ICUs fill up

the numbers arent bad enough for it to go into effect anywhere right now

It's like we learned nothing from the TSA and Homeland Security after 9/11. The threat level will never be "green". That's how you lose power and funding.

Yeah, Newsom is a fucking moron.

So what is it you want dude? Whats your better idea to deal with the ICUs here that are about to hit 100% capacity?

I hope its better than your proposal that small towns should kill off the city folk by not sending them grain

To be fair, it's the urban centers where "social distancing" is next to impossible. Several million people living on top of each other like sardines. Packing into elevators, subway cars, busses...I don't imagine that in Bumfuck, Kansas it's nearly as difficult to avoid breathing on people or to be breathed on.

Whats crazy is that California has had some of the strictest lockdowns out of any state since this started and despite all that their numbers are worse than other big states like Texas and Florida who have been relatively open for business. Really begs to question just how effective are these lockdowns when they really havent shown to decrease the numbers. All I see them doing is killing off small businesses while padding the pockets of the giant corporations and not necessarily keeping anyone safer.

As someone that actually lives here, the lockdown has been completely toothless in every regard. Theres a house on every street it seems like having big parties at least once a week, and theres still a ton of people at the beaches and congregated in shopping centers.

And the numbers in our county were actually looking a lot better compared to the places you mention until the last couple weeks, and unfortunately what we are seeing here is likely a canary in the coal mine for the rest of the country

There's a ton of non-compliant red counties. California is big.

San Francisco handled this really well compared to other major cities because we actually followed the rules for the most part, lowest per capita of other US major cities

course we're surging, but we're much lower per capita still than the rest of California or the US

that said, we really need a federal stimulus package
