I know that the term misinformation is unbelievably overused at this point, but this is legitimately misinformation.
There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that anything that California did made any difference at all. This story is indefensible and dangerously misleading.

Hospitalizations in Arizona and California peaked at nearly the exact same time. Arizona never banned outdoor dining or had another stay at home order.
And crucially, in the period (12/20-1/6) where CA’s interventions would make a supposed difference, there was none.

Saying that the measures in California worked is just an outright lie. I would say that it’s incomprehensible that a supposedly reputable newspaper would publish this nonsense, but it’s the modern media, so…it actually makes perfect sense they would publish this nonsense
And I forgot to mention this, but the 14-day average of cases in California peaked on 1/17, literally 42 days after their stay at home order.
LA closed outdoor dining even earlier, on 11/25 so it took 53 days to work after the biggest city and Covid “epicenter” closed dining
