> The actual first case was at the beginning of January.

Receipts please.

You are claiming that the timeline of SF matched other countries where deaths started much earlier and went much higher. Are you really making the claim that our hospitals were overlooking a couple hundred people drowning in their own lungs and unable to breath during the month of February?

Because that would basically have to have been true if we had community spread in early January.

> The shelter in place order means the city failed to anticipate and acted when it was too late. Like the rest of the Western world.

Your assumption is that the death rate being substantially lower in SF and California is luck and not preparation?

That stance doesn’t seem supported by the evidence.
