as of Dec 30, 2020 the state continued under a 'stay at home/essentials only' order (various curfews/travel outside of home county limits): From Calif Health dept, " As of December 30, a total of 335,983 vaccine doses have been administered statewide. As of December 28, a total of 1,762,900 vaccine doses have been distributed to local health departments and health care systems that have facilities in multiple counties."
Haywood would have been ineligible for vaccination prior to Jan because 1) limited supply; and 2) age group priorities in Calif with the new vaccine going to first responders and elderly care homes, and politicians like AOC who bumped seniors out of line.
The continued fall-out of this mess will be staggering, IMO. And it is a mess. Man-made.
Maybe once employers realize THEY can be left holding the bag for liability they might not be so quick to enforce Biden’s lock-step mandates.
