California is such a large and diverse state in many ways, what is appropriate in some areas may not be appropriate in others.

But caving to the 3000 defiant pastors who planned on opening this coming Sunday has now made him complicit in all the infections and death that will occur. We all know that older folks are the group that usually attend these "in house" services, and they are the most susceptible to Covid19. I thought that as a religious person, your body was a temple and that going to an actual building was the frosting, not the cake.

I also realize that people are bored and wanting to break the rules and go out. And when I see the defiance of non-masking and closeness in crowds, I do not feel sorry for the people at those events that take ill, but I do care about the innocent people who they transmit death to. I think what I am saying, is what a lot of Dems are thinking, if you are so stupid that you think you can't get the virus, then please go ahead, shake hands, exchange spit, and lick the toilet seats. We can only care for so long.
