Somehow we have very high expectation to get good data out of every state, country and local government on a daily basis. Isn't this asking for a lot? Who does all this counting? Especially once numbers start taking off!

Deaths are the best numbers to go by until the SHTF and people die in very high numbers. Then a lot of deaths will go uncounted.

So, in the case of CA, the death count is low and things are still in control, I would trust those numbers. And no, I doubt we had early waves and immunity. We would have seen high death rates in hospitals in January/February during a time the medical community definitely knew about COVID and its symptoms.
