The problem with this strategy is that it's been incredibly confusing; I'm getting whiplash from all the back-and-forth. The news reporting has been bad, as well, not clearly distinguishing between statewide and per-county (or for counties on the "watch list", which changes daily).
My friends who are in the service industry have to figure out from day-to-day what they're going to be doing. This is just a giant mess.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoYeah, I think that's fair. I've been plugged in enough that I don't feel the whiplash much, but I can't imagine how confusing it would be to understand what's happening from just scrolling through headlines in the morning.
- QuercusMax 6y ago...and just this evening Santa Clara county (most of the valley) announced they're shutting down gyms and salons on Wednesday, because they expect the state will shut us down anyway. Craziness. I'm glad our state is doing something, it's just so unpredictable.
- nogabebop23 6y agoIt's also hard to rollback quickly when you've got a 2-week lag between when you steer the ship and when it starts to turn. I can't see how anything other than a gated approach over significant time can be preferable, unless the motivation is political (spoiler: it is).
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoIt is, but... should it not be? Politics is the process by which people decide what society should look like.
