Latest Updates
Stay-at-home orders for the Sacramento region are likely to be extended, state officials announced Thursday, as intensive care unit capacity continued to stay low.
The region fell under the state s regional stay-at-home order Dec. 10, after intensive care unit capacity dropped below the state s 15% threshold to remain open. Under the orders, businesses such as barbershops and nail salons must close, while retail stores can stay open at 20% capacity and restaurants are limited to takeout-only.

Every year since college, my best friend Dan and I have compiled our best observations on a wide range of topics that reflect on the year that has just expired. We follow the well-established template of
The McLaughlin Group program. We lost the venerable John McLaughlin in 2016, after decades of shaping how political analysis and debate programs should be done. Safe to say, no year-end analysis we’ve ever done will come close to what we have to say about 2020.
Here are my 2020 submissions, in the tradition of the
McLaughlin Group.
Biggest Winner of the Year
After a mostly dismal 2020, we are more than ready for the new year. The devastating COVID-19 pandemic ruined this year for everyone. The virus killed more than 300,000 people in the U.S. and millions across the country have suffered in the economic shutdown that accompanied stay-at-home orders from public health officials and political leaders. It s apparent now that the attempt to bend the curve of infection rates failed the curve never did flatten as new cases are skyrocketing in California and the nation. But the end of the year brought good news that two vaccines were approved (others may be on the way) and essential workers began getting their shots. We re looking forward to later next year when the vaccines should be widely available; in the meantime, here are some other things we d like to see.
