I predicted that people will blame the weather, but the reason the Bay Area doesn't have the NY problem is because they started social distancing long before anyone in NY even thought about it. The Bay Area was seeded hard and early in Santa Clara County and only held it together because local businesses took action early with WFH, spreading out the work force and county shelter in place orders ahead of the state. I was there for it and part of it and glad we did it.
