This is a surprisingly coherent. I live in San Mateo County.

One thing I've noticed is that the cases are not evenly distributed.

  California has 600/1M new cases, vs 1000/M in South Dakota.
  LA county has 740/1M. San Mateo County has 313/1M.
  Within San Mateo County, San Carlos is 119/1M, and East Palo Alto is 675/1M.
It's incredibly hard to set policy when everything is so different, down to towns with 30K people a few miles apart.

East Palo Alto and San Jose could be either from pop-density, or from relative # of poor people.

I may not agree with Dr. Morrow, but I definitely salute his willingness to buck consensus. We need civil discourse and robust dissent in our lives, and not in the form of “alternative facts”. I think most of the facts he lists are true, just that his judgements are not quite where mine are.

I was searching for research around the infection risk associated with various activities (outdoor vs indoor dining / gyms etc). Was hoping to see arguments motivated by contact-tracing data. Wasn't able to find much. Did anyone else have better luck?

These may help for that:

And age, race, types of jobs, family structure, trust in authority, education, and probably more.

San Carlos is white, rich, and old. East Palo Alto it not.

Whenever I read statements like these I am torn because it's difficult to decide whether to cast it aside as "feel good rhetoric, but rhetoric nonetheless" or take it as it is. Do I simply gather the facts and make up my own truth of things, or do I listen to someone pen something like this up where there are so many self-admitted contradictions that you cannot help but wonder if these people are intentionally ruining social order, if they are just that ignorant of their actions.

Probably both
