We reopened too soon.

There should've been a federal mandate to wear masks outdoors in March.

Definitely. Wearing a mask is such a simple thing. I don't like wearing a mask but it is just a really minor discomfort compared to ... well like dying in the ICU.

Yup. It would've been OK with a coherent masking policy, and sufficient testing and tracing capacity to detect and clamp down on outbreaks. Since we didn't set up those things, all we had was the lockdown. Reopening was throwing LOX on a bed of smoldering charcoal.

It was inevitable.
And didn't have much of a choice here. Placer & I think Sutter counties did a FU and opened early and as the bulk of their populations butt up against Sacto, county businesses started screaming.
So far it thankfully could be a lot worse. So far.

Too soon? People are going to get this thing at some point. You want to wait for a year and destroy the economy? This is ridiculous -
