Governors Newsom and Cuomo are telling you the facts of what it will be like after the restrictions are lifted. I suppose Governor Cuomo does a better job with his PowerPoint presentations but Governor Newsom is more decisive and factual leaving out emotional outbursts. They are looking at the situation in China, Singapore, South Korea and have concluded without sufficient levels of testing the lack of a vaccine or treatment, this is not going to be a "flip the switch" return to normal. It will take 18 months or longer to get back to normal. Not enough is known about this virus. It's not clear if you can be re-infected after you were infected and recover. We don't know how this virus will mutate. I have been watching reports from Asia and Europe to see what "return to normal" means and it's clearly not like what it was before.
I feel a bit more confident living in California where the health care system is much better than most states. Plus a lot of the biotechnology industry is located in this state. Keep in mind, the Mayors of the two largest cities in California were the first to issue stay at home orders followed by the state. Many companies in the San Francisco Bay area were advising their employees to work from home weeks before the state issued its order. With a population of over 40 million, those decisions were prudent as the hospitals here are not being overrun like in New York city and other states. Washington State also did a good job containing their outbreak. The situation could have been much worse on the West Coast. You can't BS your way out of a pandemic and these leaders know that.
