No Tiers Left to Cry?

     California has gone through many "tiers" throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. When cases were lowest in spring, Governor Newson opted to close everything down as we still were hopeful that we could get the pandemic under control, at least on the West Coast. The summer spike in July prompted a most restrictive lockdown with beaches closing and malls, gyms, and movie theaters shutting down once more. Perhaps California's most devastating period came during winter, when places such as Los Angeles had to extend crematorium environmental limits because they had so many bodies to burn.

    California's system places certain counties in different tiers- with purple being most restrictive to yellow  allowing many businesses to open, though with a few restrictions mainly involving masks. Up until now, there hasn't been a designation on the tier system for "full steam ahead" and moving life back to "normal" pre-pandemic. Newsom has recently announced that the state is working on a "green tier" amidst all the progress the state has made to vaccinate individuals. Green tier doesn't indicate that everything will be completely open to pre-pandemic operations-- there will very likely still have some restrictions such as mask wearing in public areas. The green tier would allow concerts to occur and for most indoor businesses to operate. Swartzberg, an infectious disease specialist, said the state could enter green tier possibly this summer.    

    Our very own Dr. Siegel commented as well, saying that the tier system creators should be cautious to rush to a "green tier" metric, as most people would associate green with all operations "a go". In humans and viruses, we discussed the implications of reopening too early simply with the vaccinations on the horizon. If we look at the prevalence of Covid-19, it bears similarity to summer levels-- which at the time were the highest we'd ever seen them and thus caused an influx of strict rules. Looking at trends alone clearly has limitations when the relative Covid cases are still very high. California as a state should not be looking to run any red lights to the light at the end of the tunnel before enough people are protected from the virus.
