What the San Francisco Bay Area Can Teach Us About Fighting a Pandemic (newyorker.com)

Key take aways:

* If your community has few essential workers, stay at home white collar workers will keep your infection rate down (see East Palo Alto vs SF)

* Having world-class public health universities is a big advantage (Stanford vs UCSF)

* Control outbreaks in vulnerable locations like Skilled Nursing Facilities

* Having an educated mask wearing public is helpful but not a big driver


And, most infections occur among critical workers who have to go out. Loosening the restrictions on stay-at-home would be disastrous.


Like having the Governor go to maskless dinners at the French Laundry?
