people not taking social distancing seriously, something that has been stressed by the CDC and the California Department of Health. Steph wanted to use his platform to have a real expert provide info that a segment of the population would not otherwise get-- 20 year olds and teens in urban areas are not watching CNN or Fox News. They need real info.
For some reason CBers see this is as some kind of political move, but there really isn't much politics about it.
