This makes me sad. No one’s perfect but I've never met anyone who goes through more personal pain to fight for an inspiring future for humanity - and has done so tirelessly for decades. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but mine is that there’s no one I respect and admire more

Because he wants to open the plant, incl. working the line himself? When every other auto plant in the US is either already open or reopening, in a county where even nail salons are open, and according to federal and CA regs should never have had to shut down in the first place?

As someone who lives in a country that defeated the disease without a lockdown, I could not possibly disagree more. Countries that imposed "essential v. nonessential lockdowns" have an appalling record compared to those with risk-based closures (Iceland, Japan, Taiwan, Korea,etc)

I mean it may be hard to trust China’s numbers but if they are right they went from epicenter to almost having no cases with very intense lockdowns. We lack testing capacity in the states, hard to it lock down.

Only Wuhan had a long lockdown. Most of China was just an additional week added to the Lunar New Year holiday. Japan tests *way* less than the US, and they've kept deaths per 1M pop tiny without lockdown. Testing is *a* measure (a good one) to reduce Rt, but not the only one.
