Humm, hopefully this does not happen in CA.

A way to avoid that is to draft young people into healthcare jobs or support roles (such as meal delivery), which almost require their being vaccinated.

Um yeah ... but no. Like her or not, she’s the most powerful, most effective woman in the history of American politics. You don’t like what she does. Got it. Failure? Roflmfao ... no.

"The situation is far from dire. The state’s average number of daily cases over the past week stood at 19 per 100,000 people — half of what they were during the state’s peak late last year and midrange nationally."

A panic porn article wrapped around just one fact.

This is yet another governor choosing fear over science, with a lot of overreacting and plenty of speculation.

And thank you for letting me make my own choices without being told by others what to do based on zero science and data.

You call it "panic porn" so that you can highlight certain parts of the posted article that fit with your beliefs. From the same article:

Chunhuei Chi, director of Oregon State University’s Center for Global Health, said that seeds of Oregon’s surge may have been sown months ago, when the state got a slow start on vaccinations.

“I suspect that might have contributed,” he said. “We are looking at multiple factors contributing to this surge, including variants and people relaxing their guard because of pandemic fatigue and a sense of security or hope from vaccinations.”

In another anomaly that Chi said could be partly to blame, Brown moved school teachers ahead of citizens 65 and older for vaccines in January. She said she made the switch to speed school openings, but critics saw it as evidence of her fealty to the teachers union.

Dr. Katie Sharff, an infectious disease specialist at Kaiser Permanente in Portland...feels that the surge stems partly from authorities lifting some restrictions too quickly. Allowing wrestling and other indoor youth contact sports to resume was premature, she said.

But business owners have pushed for reopening, and the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Assn. opposes Brown’s new restrictions. “It’s an incredible setback for thousands of businesses in our industry,” said Jason Brandt, association president and chief executive.

Because it is. Everything you cited is speculation, with no evidence to back it up. There is plenty of disagreement among epidemiologists and others as to what's going on, so panic porn selects only the prognostications that fit its narrative. I shared one of the few actual data points in the article, you shared quotes of people guessing. Panic porn feeds off of speculation, and ignores proven science and data, but it's sad that so many people blindly treat fearful prognostication as truth.
