California's Conflicting Methods of Flattening the Curve

VOA News

   After a weekend of crowded beaches, California Governor Gavin Newsom
   has ordered all state beaches and parks closed as of Friday. Pushback
   is expected from residents.

   According to the [1]U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
   California ranks in the top 5 among U.S. states in the number of
   confirmed coronavirus cases, with 46,500. It also has recorded 1,887
   deaths.

   The state's health department has classified community transmission of
   the virus as "widespread."

   The [2]Los Angeles Times said California's coronavirus cases are
   predicted to double every 21.7 days, despite the state having kept most
   parks, beaches and trails closed before Newsom's latest order.
