Newsoms order made sense.  He’s an elected public official.  6 Million people controlled by unelected bureaucrats.  I notice SMateo didn’t join in.

Whether an order "makes sense" can't depend on who issued it. That is a property of the order, not of the  source.

Dr. Morrow has shown himself to be a bit of an outlier at other times. He clearly is concerned with the effects of these orders on business. I also think the San Mateo Board of Supervisors is probably not supportive of the order.

FWIW, I don't support the order either because I think it inflicts most of the damage while not reaping most of the benefits. We need to keep people at home. If retail is open, they will go there because they can't go elsewhere. People who want to do something around the house will line up at Home Depot. I recognize outdoor dining is considered a safe activity. They have outdoor dining at Zott's. They are careful in the beer garden. People waiting in the parking lot are not. It is packed, and there is really nothing anybody can do about that. Now that San Mateo County is the only game in town, it will be even more packed.
