8. I agree. People were heeding the warnings and wearing masks and safe distancing

Then they got complacent.
It isn't Newsom's fault. It was on us as a population to continue with masks and safe distancing. He also didn't just open everything back up. It as a rolling opening and he went by the numbers. People were complying.

Now there are so few people wearing masks and safe distancing (at least here in Hollywood) as opposed to about a month ago when nearly 90+% were following the guidelines.

I have noticed that the last couple of days less people were out and about again.
