Pet peeve of mine: It's really not the Central Valley as a whole being ravaged, it's specifically the poorer southern part - the San Joaquin Valley. Sacramento in particular is somewhere between the Bay Area and coastal So-Cal. The northern extreme (say Redding) is actually doing a bit better than the Bay Area. All said, even in Sac, you have some pretty dangerous behavior going on (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/31/us/churches-return-coronavirus-protests.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/31/us/churches-return-corona...), so this isn't entirely surprising.
