Supervisor Desmond understands that the hospitalizations are down, ICU cases are down, and the supply of PPE for the medical workers is doing great. These were, after all, the reasons we were given to lockdown in the first place, but are completely ignored by our Goober. Supervisor Desmond understands that the Goober's "case adjustment factor" is completely indefensible. Supervisor Desmond understands that if we force business to re-re-close, many will never get to re-re-open. Supervisor Desmond understands that the risks are greatly reduced versus the early days of the 'pandemic'. [Compare: Over the period April 13-30, there were 1,781 new cases and 84 deaths (4.7%). Over the same time period August 13-30, there were 4,539 cases, but only 60 deaths (1.3%). This is due to the excess cases today being in the very young, a decline in the absolute numbers of cases in the very old, and (presumably) better treatments.] Supervisor Desmond understands that the existing 4-tier system will NEVER let us get to full opening of the economy (no matter how many "re-'s" end up in front of it). And Supervisor Desmond understands that the recent rise in the case rate is due entirely to the students at SDSU (all of which are in the 10-30 age groups and have virtually no risk of death).
I really hope our supervisors agree to this act of civil disobedience. It would be, in my mind, exactly like our state telling the Federal government to pound sand on illegal immigration, or marijuana laws. And it is about time that our petty little tyrant Goober Nuisance gets force fed a great big "stick-it-up-your-@$$" burger.
