Tapping the power of telecommunications is essential in keeping Ca. safe in the event of disaster. Last year’s blackouts exposed a weakness in the systems. Now at last the Legislature has a reasonable solution in the form of SB431. It deserves to pass.

Good discussion about the consequences of inadequate testing, track and trace capacity in California.

"The reopening of California and the country is catching on like an infection. Having led the nation in locking down, the Bay Area and the state are now following others into a risky attempt to return to normalcy even as the novel coronavirus keeps spreading.... California has lost some 4,000 lives to the contagion despite distancing measures that have likely saved many more. Yes, the state can’t shut down indefinitely, but it should reopen only when officials meet the benchmarks they themselves set, and only at a pace that allows us to gauge the result of each risk before we take the next one."

I love reminders, such as this Memorial Day flyover, acknowledging that today is different from all other days. We are experiencing great difficulties as a community, state and nation. But for most, it can’t compare to the sacrifices of our fallen and their families. We honor them and remind ourselves about true hardships.
