Peter Rumble, Chief Executive of the Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce, has published a possible framework for opening businesses now that we are deep into the coronavirus pandemic. His plan makes sense. It mandates extensive testing and so forth.
Working people need to make a living. That is a national problem.
Meanwhile there seems to be a struggle starting between some Democratic county supervisors (Shirlee Zane and David Rabbitt) vs. the county health officer, Dr. Sundari Mase.
Dr. Mase moved the country into social isolation very early; as a consequence Sonoma has had only two coronavirus deaths, which is remarkable. But Zane considers the orders put out by Mase to be "arbitrary," causing "economic hardship."
"Arbitrary," of course, is exactly the wrong word. Relying on science, Dr. Mase has saved many lives at the expense of profits and wages. Her position is well reasoned. It is probably not based on ignorance, impatience or pressure from political funders.
