CA was the first state to issue a "shelter in place", as well as many population centers taking aggressive action to limit spread before anyone else was taking it seriously. All of the high-tech and bio-tech here was quick to cancel travel and implement social distancing back when CV19 was an "Asian problem".

The tech lords led the way.

If Calif is a state where localities have a lot of power that might explain it’s success.
Powers are divided between the state and localities in very various ways in America.
