Can you explain what you mean by this in regards to Los Angeles?
"This seems to be what you get when you shut everything down for months and months on end"
Restrictions are pretty strong at the moment, but as far as I can tell from looking at LA county data, the restrictions that went into effect as the end of November approached followed a trend of rising hospitalizations consistently rising from the end of October. And given the day-to-day essential freedom of activity I enjoyed from May through then, I'm not sure how I'd justify characterizing the county as everything-shut-down unless I shrank the definition of "everything." I didn't actually go to the pool or beach parties, but I got the invites.
I appreciate a good deal of the rest of the analysis, just puzzled by this bit. Is it a statement of how civil direction feels, or is it about specific limitations (perhaps including some I don't much notice)?
