Dear Reader,
The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

As businesses and restaurants reopen, I see less and less social distancing and mask wearing here in my little piece of California. Does that make sense? How does California look compared to the nation as a whole? Like this:
The good news is that our mortality rate is well under the national rate. The bad news is that our decline is very, very slow, which suggests it might be fairly fragile. Keep wearing your masks, Californians.
