It’s been a while since I went into detail on some of the other counties in Southern CA, so today I’m catching up a bit. Even though this post doesn’t have charts on the regular localities, you can see all the up to date numbers on the COVID Interactive pages on zorgi.me: Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside

Balance *
I realized this morning when my shorts were a bit tight that I’ve spent too much time on my butt. My exercise routine has fallen off the past few months, I’ve put on the pounds, and I’m not sleeping as well. My wife says she’s worried about me. Stupid me: I’m healthy, and I shouldn’t
Open the schools! Now? *
Aren’t these great images? Kids back in school, where they belong. Parents back at work. Sure, there are masks, and the kids are far away from each other, but they’re learning, and that’s what’s important. Teachers are there in person, which is what they’ve trained so hard to do. Trouble is, these pictures aren’t from
120,000 Deaths Too Many
More than 117,000 Americans had died of COVID-19 by mid-June. If our response had been as effective as Germany’s, estimates show that we would have had only 36,000 COVID-19 deaths in that period in the United States. If our response had been as effective as South Korea, Australia, or Singapore’s, fewer than 2,000 Americans would
Want to get COVID? Have sex with demons and wear a mask!
As we pass 153,000 deaths in the U.S. and well over 4 million cases, you’d think that political leaders, no matter which side of the aisle, would get their asses in gear to stop this slaughter. Instead, Trump was busy promoting a doctor who promotes wacko ideas. And one of his COVID-positive lapdogs, Rep. Louie

Is HHS Cooking the Books?
I always seem to get a couple of people who post a TLDR reply. So here’s my TLDR for them: this post is definitely not for you; come back another day! Wow, yesterday was quite a day, wasn’t it? I don’t think I ever had that much activity around a daily post. Sure, there were
Teachers and students aren’t cannon fodder *
“To be very clear, we don’t want CDC guidance to be a reason why people don’t reopen their schools” VP Pence, head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, July 14, 2020 In fewer than 20 words, Pence has perfectly described the anti-science, dangerous stance of the federal government regarding the reopening of public schools.
Sorry!
We all screw up. I did yesterday. I used a term I shouldn’t have. While a majority of readers felt fine with it, there was one, from /r/losangeles, who really got me thinking. Redditor /u/Inappropriate_Comma wanted to send my post to their family to get them to rethink their position on the pandemic, but he
Ignorance Closes California
July 13, 2020 Well, most of it, anyway. Gov. Newsom announced today that all inside activities throughout California are being shut down. The data supports that decision. The pandemic is out of control in our state. The lowest Zorgi Score for any county in southern California is 8.2, but the average is around 13. Who
Attacks on retail workers must stop too! *
More and more articles are coming out documenting the harassment and threatening behavior essential expendable retail workers have to endure every day. We’ve all heard about the Starbucks employee who got $100,000 in case after a video of a Karen berating him went viral. But the vast majority of retail workers subjected to this behavior
