California is still not doing enough. The original criteria for phase II were not met and yet the state decided to reopen anyway. Bay Area is thankfully staying stricter. I was at a sit-down restaurant packed at capacity with live music a week ago about 100 miles from Bay Area. That should not be possible. Close the state border to all interstate traffic. Test truck drivers at weigh stations near the state border. There should be sufficient capacity of the 5-minute Abbott test for this. Test other interstate travelers at mandatory checkpoints with a test that shows results no later than 60 minutes. Close county borders. Mandatory testing at each county border. Issue a photo + ID card to each person tested. Mandatory verification of negative result before public transit boarding. Mandatory door to door testing in resisting areas. Deny all walk-in service to anyone not able to verify current test results with at-door scanner. Assume they are infected and serve them curbside. Have them scanned by a mobile dispatched unit at their if unable to travel to a testing location. Annoying? That's what "essential" activity means. We are not making it inconvenient enough to not do non-essential activities. Sounds extreme? That's what EU did to contain Italy and Spain. They closed internal borders and localized efforts. Sounds expensive? Abbott will make a lot of money. Lives will be saved. The entire state could reopen and resume operations once strict testing protocols are in place and the curve is properly slammed. We do not have an effective CDC to set national policy. Compare the real guidelines [1] leaked to press to the softened guidelines[2]. There is a reason why schools are rejecting[3] the official guidelines. Finally. Want to host a church gathering? Your entire congregation is welcome to stay quarantined for 14 days on your premises. P.S. The current CDC document has been updated. It was far less prescriptive earlier. Some sense prevailed. The entire section related to churches has been deleted. Counties with zero infections should be allowed to open, but border protocols must be enforced.
