> True, it's even better than normal.

That's definitely not true.

> Let's not pretend that the extent of California's reaction to the coronavirus is even comparable to that of Netherlands, Japan

You are right, it's not. But that wasn't the point. But pretending that California is the only one suffering and taking measures while the Netherlands or Japan are not is also out of touch with reality.

To the extent that it's relevant to the article in the OP, it could sure be better than normal for a lot of people. Working from home where previously it was not available, minimum wage being paid for people forced to stay home. It's basically a forced vacation. I'm sure some business owners are unhappy, but frankly I find reduced suicide rate predictable.
