I'm not sure why you say "Good jobs SF and SM". Their numbers stayed higher than the others.
It is worrisome that SCC is climbing so rapidly, considering that it has opened up less. That means the increase can't be attributed to just things like barbers & bars, but more likely on the other things that opened up (restaurants & such), or perhaps the demonstrations (if the chain of cases could be traced back to that, but as I recall that was a verboten question).
If I recall rightly, SCC wanted to be able to track 75 new cases a day, but we blew past that number a couple of days ago.
Maybe one difference is getting the populace to really see the bad outcomes. ("Get the fear of God into them".) I think NYC saw that. If it were scary enough, maybe those 5 teens I just saw in close proximity at a table at an SCC park would have worn masks, or maybe this older guy would have gone over and let them know that being in close proximity without masks is contributing to killing more people that speeding & drunk driving combined.
