“California counties and metropolitan centers saw some of the largest population declines during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to data released this week from the U.S. Census Bureau.”
The report noted that some declines in California’s counties are attributable to international migration losses during the pandemic, with California being home to 41.4% of the counties that saw these losses.

If draconian restrictions were so effective, how come people wanted to get out of California, and not into it? Even with all the remote work, why would anybody risk their lives to leave the “safe harbor” that was California and seek out “disease centers” where people routinely died because of “reckless policies?”
