@Bryan.Hernandez Explain why Governor Newsom of California can answer the question, but Dr.Fakey can't.
"Governor Newsom said 87 percent of the state’s population currently falls into the purple category. San Diego and San Francisco both are rated red, which is lower risk than purple. That means they can open indoor theaters with these modifications: 25 percent capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer.
Orange County also seems to be close to moving into red. These numbers are only 7 day averages, but the test positivity rate is 5.6 percent. It only has to be under 8 percent. The number of cases per 100,000 has to be under 25. Orange County is currently at 82.4 over 7 days. So they make the cut by one measure, but not another. That could change soonish.
Los Angeles County is on the border between purple and red. The region’s 7-day test average positivity rate is 5.6 percent, which falls below the state’s limit of 8 percent. But that average is only over 7 days. The state now requires a 21-day average below the 8 percent mark. It is unclear from the county’s COVID-19 dashboard if that is the case.
As for the other determinative metric, new COVID cases per 100,000, that number is supposed to be under 7 for three weeks in order for a county to reopen. L.A.’s number of cases per 100,000 over the past two weeks is far above that, at 13.1. Again, from a look at the county’s data web site, it is unclear what L.A.’s three-week number per 100,000 is. That would be the number state officials look at."
