Wes, Look at the CDPH link on the dashboard. That shows charts for the various goals the County much reach to open up more. The charts show the goal and where SB County is at in relation to it. Right now, we're moving in the opposite direction.
What stands out to me is that the County will have to have the number of cases drop in order to meet the criteria. The goal in March was to flatten the curve and keep the hospitals ready to accommodate the additional expected load and to keep the deaths to minimum. That made sense then and makes sense now. Now that it is understood that half the deaths are coming from SNF's why isn't the concentration there instead of closing down businesses that are not responsible for half the deaths.
I love the County's website by the way, they are doing a great job in producing the numbers. The number of positive cases are not dragging the hospitalizations or deaths up at the same rate as the cases are, that is just good news.
The State should remove the criteria of the number of cases being used as a metric to open things up, such as restaurants and gyms and nail solons. The new cases are not coming from there, if they ever were.
