What helped California out was the early China flight ban in late January. Most of those flights would land in LA or SF. Kept the virus away, unlike NY which got all those European infected flights, that weren’t halted till mid-March.
Being the first state to issue a stay at home order while New York waited until everyone else was also shutting down non essential had nothing to do with it? Gtfoh. If you’re a Democrat in New York it’s impossible for anything bad that happens to be your fault at all.
